Cause

Lack of understanding regarding the usage of Automation and Scripts features in Security Expert.

Resolution

1. Automation

Automation is used for C-Bus interface programming in Security Expert. It allows Security Expert to send signals to the C-Bus Network or change the state of Security Expert outputs based on control signals from C-Bus.

Note: This integration is not currently validated or supported.

2. Programmable functions:

Programmable functions in Security Expert enable you to directly monitor and display analogue values, such as those from HVAC systems, using Data values and Variables. These values can then be used to trigger functions within Security Expert. You can set up programmable functions to control logic within Security Expert, Doors, Areas, Elevators, and more. For further information, please consult the help file.

3. Scripts:

Currently, Scripts are not available in Security Expert. The "Run Script" option under Events > Actions > Configuration > Type does not have any functionality.
