Item sets

Item sets allow you to group Items together. These sets can be used to filter results in Item Editor, Live Presences App and Web API, but it's even possible to synchronize them to Smartspot devices, so that these devices can perform local actions (Smartspot Sense&Control) once one or multiple Items are in range. A few examples of these local actions are:

• Turn a light or indicator on or off,
• open or close doors or tourniquets,
• Enable a siren.
