Generic Command Options

Across the SmartZone controllers there are some command options that have the same or similar functionality.

To avoid repetition and to keep the command syntax looking less complex, generic command options are being introduced here. These options will appear under the ? on the controllers for many commands in various modes. Consult this page for an explanation of the functionality.

The following table describes the generic command options.
