The light object displays a "light" icon on the left of the button. It has the same parameters as the "Button" object. If the "action" is "device", Its icon changes to reflect the status of the associated device address.
UISet Attributes

OnOff
Same as the Light object, but displays an on/off icon.

Slider
Same as the Button object, but sends a value as well.
If action is "device", the slider's value is updated with the corresponding device's state.
If the action is "user", the slider's value is sent as parameter.
If the action is "url", the slider's value will be replaced in the URL where "%value" is found.
E.g. If the url is "http://www.myurl.com/slider?%value" and the slider's value is changed to "77", the following URL is requested: "http://www.myurl.com/slider?77"
