Lift Status Indicators

Floor Indicators

FloorIndicator[nostalgic]

The widget FloorIndicator[nostalgic] displays the current floor as a nostalgic analogue indicator on the display. The layout can be configured in various ways, for instance font type and size, background color or image, hands, frame color and much more.

The floor name is obtained from the field alias in the house editor. If a picture is configured for a floor, it will be displayed.

The values for this widget are given in grid sizes to allow an accurate alignment with other widgets, such as call buttons for a particular floor.

To take account of blind floors, floors are skipped for which no alias has been entered in the house editor.
