18 Two-way Module Commands Two-way module commands are special one-way functions that are derived from the two-way module and the only way to send discrete commands to the TaHoma Shades module Below are the available two-way module commands: Shade : Move Basic: Using the Device ID(s) of the desired shades, this adds a command to any macro that moves the shades up, down, or stop. Multiple Device IDs can be entered, use a comma (,) to separate Device IDs. Shade : Move to Percentage: Using the Device ID(s) of the desired shades, this adds a command to any macro that moves the shades to the entered percentage (0-100) [0 = Shades Open & 100 = Shades Closed]. Shade : Move To My: Adds a command to any custom macro that moves the entered shades device (using the Device ID) to the preset “My” position as configured in the TaHoma mobile app. Shade : Tilt: Adds a command to any custom macro that moves the entered shades device (using Device ID) up or down. Switch : Set State: Adds a command to any custom macro that turns the entered lighting switch (using Device ID) on or off. Switch : Toggle: Adds a command to any custom macro that sends a toggle command to the entered lighting switch (using Device ID).

19 Light : Set State: Adds a command to any custom macro that sets the state of the entered lighting device (using Device ID) On or Off. Light : Toggle: Adds a command to any custom macro that sends a toggle command to the entered lighting device (using Device ID). Light : Set Dim Level: Adds a command to any custom macro that sets the dim level of the entered lighting device (using Device ID).

20 Query Commands Allow the Total Control system to “ask a question”. Programmers can save the result (value) of that question as a variable. This variable can then be polled and used with conditional logic to create advanced macros. Below are the Query Commands that are available for the TaHome Shades module: Get Shade : Position: Gets the current position of the entered (using Device ID) shades device. Get Switch : State: Gets the current power status of the entered (using Device ID) lighting switch. Get Light : State: Gets the current power state of the entered (using Device ID) lighting device. Get Light : Dim Level: Gets the current dim percentage of the entered (using Device ID) lighting device.

21 Automation Capabilities (Device Events) Device Events allow Total Control to trigger macros based on changes within the subsystem of a supported two-way device. Below are the available Device Events supported by this two-way module: On Shade Position: Triggers a custom macro when the entered shades device (using Device ID) reaches, goes above, or goes below the entered percentage. On Switch State: Triggers a custom macro based on a state change (on / off / toggled) of the entered switch (using Device ID). On Light State: Triggers a custom macro based on a state change (on / off / toggled) of the entered lighting device (using Device ID). On Light Dim Level: Triggers a custom macro when the entered lighting device (using Device ID) reaches, goes above, or goes below the entered percentage
