- Note 2
- Only for protocol version 2
USER Commands
To send a user command to the I/O Server just set the name to the ID of a writable (W) datapoint and the parameter to one of the possible values.
For instance, setting the name of a user button to '<ioserver_id>.z1.power' and its param field to 'flip', will result in having a switch for zone 1. Naming it '<ioserver_id>.z1.mode' with a valid working mode as param (e.g. 'stop' or 'cold') will result in a button for setting the mode of the zone.
