The DUMMY I/O Server is a virtual server that doesn’t actually connect to any external system, but simulates basic lighting and automation devices. It could be used for project’s development, demonstrations, and to easily implement virtual devices with complex logic connecting to actual systems.

HSYCO Configuration

Options

ID Default Values Description
discovery true true automatically lists all virtual devices in the systemtopo.txt file
false auto-detect for devices is disabled
lights 10 0 ≤ <n> ≤ 10000 generates <n> on/off light devices
dimmers 10 0 ≤ <n> ≤ 10000 generates <n> dimmer devices
automations 10 0 ≤ <n> ≤ 10000 generates <n> automation devices

User Interface

All the devices that have been added in systemtopo.txt (automatically or manually) are listed in the Project Editor and can be directly associated to Button and Dimmer objects.
