Quick Config ​

The "Quick Config" tab offers a simplified way to create frequently needed links between devices – without going through a full automation.

Quick Configs are stored internally as special automations, but do not appear in the automation overview.

Available sections ​

Depending on the device type, up to three sections are shown:

Triggers ​

When a specific event occurs on the device (e.g. a button press), the configured actions are executed.

  • Select the triggering event (e.g. "Button 1 short press").
  • Add one or more actions (e.g. "Turn on lamp", "Activate scene").

Actions ​

When the device changes a value, that value is forwarded to other devices or actions.

  • Example: the current brightness of a dimmer should be transferred to another lamp.
  • Choose the property whose value should be forwarded and the target device.

Synchronization ​

A bidirectional link between two devices: changes on one side are automatically mirrored to the other.

  • Typical use case: two switches should reflect the same state.
  • Choose the property to synchronize and the partner device.

Loop (playlist / favorite) ​

For music players, the Triggers area contains the rows Play Playlist Loop and Play Favorite Loop. They take 2 to 4 values to switch between:

  • The input fields are listed under the name of the row.
  • + below the fields adds another field (4 at most).
  • From the third field on, the × button next to it removes the field again.

Saving ​

All changes in Quick Config are applied via the "Save" button in the bar at the top of the page.

INFO

Note: If no Quick Config templates are available for a device, the message "There is no Quick Config for this device." is shown instead. More complex logic can be created via the Automations in that case.
