Presence Simulations

The presence simulation records all defined variables of the visualization in a circular buffer. At midnight, all states are saved so that the simulation has a starting point. A day is only stored when it has been completely recorded. This prevents incomplete days from being stored. If no actions were recorded on a day, the entire day is discarded.

Structure of the Simulation

A presence simulation consists of the following objects:

• Function Block PRESIM_CTRL (Control)
• List of elements and variables to be recorded

In the upper context menu under Automation ▸ Presence Simulations, you will find the editor. There, the aforementioned elements are combined and configured using drag & drop. The Control is dragged from the structure into the upper folder, and the controlled Elements are dragged into the lower folder.

Warning: Note that no safety-relevant components may be included in the simulation, such as a blind or a pool cover.

The number of simulations is not limited. For each individual simulation, a control must be defined with the function block PRESIM_CTRL.

Tip: In the configuration of an element, you can define which variables are included in the presence simulation. This is also applied when unpacking a folder.
