With the function "Forced Control” at the binary input, the override function of an actuator can be switched on, off or inactive via a switch. Combinations can also be configured such that, for example, the switching value "Forced off” is sent when the push-button is pressed briefly and the switching value "Inactive” is also sent when the push-button is pressed for a long time.

If the forced control is switched to inactive via the binary input, the binary input does not specify a switching value for forced control, but passes on the regular value to the actuator, where it is further evaluated.

Parameters can be used to define whether the telegram is sent with a short and/or with a long press of the push-button or with a rising and/or falling edge.

The prerequisite for this function is that the "Single” option is selected in the device settings for the channel concerned.

Application example

The "Forced Control” function can be used, for example, to prevent certain lights from being switched on or off manually in energy-saving or night mode by pressing a push-button.
