Door Controller

Controller for a Door, Hatch or Hinge. Signals can be sent to the door to OPEN/CLOSE, Lock separately or Lock as a Group.

An Override input is available. When Override is ON all Lock and Group Lock signals will be bypassed and it will allow the doors to be OPEN/CLOSED.

There is an optional set of properties available on the Controller that allow you to specify that the door will auto close after a period of time. There is a Toggle Property for AUTO CLOSE (ON/OFF) and then a Property Number Box for specifying the number of seconds to pass before the door will auto close.

NOTE: When a door goes in to a Lock state it will automatically close. The OPEN request to a door is dependant upon the state of the signal going in to Controller and the Lock state. The Controller does not modify or hold the OPEN/CLOSE signal. Therefore, if you have an active OPEN signal (i.e. a toggle button is ON) and the door goes back to UNLOCK it will then OPEN. Something to keep in mind when you're door is underwater, you tried to open it previously and you just signalled Override.
