The ‘Switches’ tab ③ also features additional button setup options. For example, we can program the executor to be controlled with a double or triple click of a button, as well as define an action performed by this, for example ‘only turning on’ or ‘only turning off’ an executor. In this case we are setting up the button to do the following: one click will cause the lamp to toggle, a double click will turn it on and a triple click will turn it off. In this way a single button can perform up to five different actions.
