First let me apologize since probably somewhere int he vastness of thousands of postings these questions probably have been answered, although in skimming through them I haven't identified which needle in the haystack it might be. So I will ask either for a pointer or if somebody could take a moment and see if my understanding is correct. (I did ask Customer Service but they explained (in somewhat different language) that a lack of a manual doesn't mean I can use them as a manual and that they didn't have time to read this.)
Again, I'm perfectly happy to answer these by reading if I can just find where they are documented...
Is my understanding about these event triggers precisely correct?
The device changes and becomes…
This event will only be triggered once, when the value of the device changes, and ONLY if the new value is the specified value. If the previous value was 50 and it is set to 50 then the event will not trigger.
Had its value set to…
This event will be triggered anytime the value is set to the specified value, even if the device previously had this same value. Do if it was 50 and gets set to 50 then it will be triggered again. The value does not need to actually change to be triggered to it can trigger at 50 and again at 50 and again at 50....
Just had its value set or changed…
This event is triggered every time the device's value is set. The "or changed" wording is entirely superfluous and unnecessary, since it cannot change without being set. That is, it will trigger every time the device is set, even if it is set to the same as the previous value.
Has a value that just changed…
This will only trigger of the old value is different from the new value. If it is set to the same value, it will not trigger the event.
