Buzzer notifications in M-DOT modules

  • Document number: PO-179-EN
  • Version: 2.0
  • Date of publication: November 12, 2024


Introduction

The sound signals of the M-DOT modules can be used not only in response to the pressing of touch fields, but also, for example, as a response to the pressing of an intercom. It is only necessary to know the API functions of the respective intercom and to configure the connection in the Ampio application.

Configuration in Ampio Designer

Conditions triggering the sound signal can be created in the Conditions sub-tab of the respective device serving as an actuator or in the LOGIC tab.

Sound signal in response to a condition

To generate a sound based on the signals from the Ampio modules, a typical condition is created. Select the M-DOT device in which you want to generate a sound and select the Buzzer function with the selected tone and duration.
