Control Sets

---

Control Sets are dynamic, filter-based collections of controls. Instead of manually selecting the same controls in every chart or dashboard, you define filter criteria once and reuse the set. When new devices or controls are added that match your filters, they are automatically included.

Navigation

Open Inventory → Control Sets to view, create, and manage your control sets.

Creating a Control Set

The creation dialog has a split layout: configuration on the left, live preview on the right.

1. Enter a name (required, max 100 characters) and an optional description (max 200 characters)

2. Select element scope — Choose which structure element the set belongs to. This controls access and visibility within the workspace hierarchy.

3. Select control type — Choose the type of control (e.g., temperature sensors, switches, dimmers). Available types are derived from your connected devices.

4. Configure filter rules — Optionally narrow down which controls match using filter criteria:

   Field	Description
   Miniserver	Filter by device name, Miniserver name, or serial number
   Room	Filter by room name assigned in Loxone Config
   Category	Filter by category name assigned in Loxone Config

   Each field supports operators: equals, not equals, in list, not in list, contains, and not contains. Combine multiple rules with AND / OR logic groups.

5. Review the preview — The right panel shows matching controls in real-time as you configure filters. The preview includes control name, device, category, and room.

6. Click "Save"

Shared and Read-only Behavior

Control Sets belong to a structure element and follow the workspace's permission hierarchy:

• If you have edit permission on the owning element, you can modify the set
• If you only have view access (e.g., via structure sharing), the set is visible and usable but cannot be edited or deleted
• The Create, Edit, Duplicate, and Delete actions are hidden when you lack edit permissions
