function/latch

  • The LATCH unary function holds the state forever after the child event becomes . It then can be reset by external action.
  • When an child event of a LATCH function becomes , the latch function also becomes . Then, it stays in true state, no matter what is happening to the latched child event.
  • The latched event can be unlatched in the following ways:
  • The Latch function is placed in an AND operator, and the AND operator becomes due to some other child of this AND operator.
  • The scenes service restart.
  • hub.scenes.block.status.reset API command with the block identifier is received.
  • The resetLatch action pointing to that function is called.
  • If a Latch is unlatched, the function Latch becomes , but its child event stays in its present condition.

Here, the stands for any valid when block, like a final event or a logical operator. But, the only child can be passed.
