This switch generates short impulses for every ON and OFF commands on a single pin. You can configure a duration of an impulse.

For example, it can be used in some gate control systems to open and close gates when the next signal reverses movement direction.

Note: If an impulse width value is zero, the firmware generates an infinite impulse. In this case, it works as a regular GPIO output.

Impulse – the duration of an impulse in milliseconds or seconds.

Restore after power off – the logical and physical initial state of the output when the device starts. The “+ Impulse” option means that the firmware generates a single impulse to control an external device.

Change to state after interval – the firmware can automatically change the ON/OFF logical state of a Zigbee endpoint to a selected state after some interval when the impulse ends. When the firmware changes a logical state, it does not generate an impulse, but sends a report with the new logical state to the coordinator.

Linked input – this option changes the behavior of the output with a linked click button.

  • Restart impulse timer – any click of a linked button restart the impulse timer. Therefore, if the impulse is active, the signal prolongs this impulse. Otherwise, it starts an impulse.
  • Stop or Start impulse – if an impulse is active, the click immediately stops the impulse. Otherwise, it starts an impulse.
  • Stop and Start impulse – if an impulse is active, the click immediately stops the impulse. In any case, it starts an impulse.
