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.
