Detailed Description

Switch is an actuator and an extension to StateSensor.

An actuator actively outputs its state. In case of a Dry-Contact, for instance, the switch may output ON or OFF. Because Switch is a StateSensor it is also possible to query the actual state of the Switch. The type of switch is determined by the sensor's TypeSpec

Member Function Documentation

setState()

int sensors::Switch::setState

(

in int

newState

)

This method outputs the given value.

The int input value is the counterpart of the value returned by StateSensor's getState method. Valid values are determined by the StateSensor's TypeSpec

Parameters

newState

the new state the switch shall switch to

Returns

0 if OK

ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER if invalid parameter

ERR_NOT_AVAILABLE if unable to set new state
