Video Tutorial
The 3rd part of the Video Tutorials is about the UI Design.
Video Tutorial PlaylistA data table can be used instead of the array from mid 2025 on. This allows to share the layout settings over multiple scenes (eg. units or appartments).
A tick box use MM data table needs to be ticked to copy the settings in the data table into the array. Tick the box off and on again to transfer changes from the data table into the array.
Main Menu Buttons
Every index of the Main Menu Layout will show up as a menu item.
- click (+) to add an array element
- click and hold the dots :: to drag the element to a new position
- use the little arrows for more options.
