4Drivers Password Control

A Navigator button with a numeric keypad: only after the correct password does the user see and control the devices chosen by the installer — lights, advanced lighting scenes, macros, relays and shades.

Overview

Opening the button shows the keypad. The password (2 to 8 digits) is set by the installer in the properties and is never shown on the screen.
With the correct password, the control page opens with the chosen devices, grouped by room or by type, with a type filter.
The page returns to the keypad on its own after the idle time set in Auto Lock (seconds), when the user leaves the screen, or when Lock is tapped.
Unlocking applies only to the screen where the password was entered: other screens and phones stay locked.
After several wrong passwords in a row, the keypad is blocked for a while on every screen.

Screens

Controls on the screen

Type	Controls
Lights	Tap the card to turn on/off. Dimmers show a level bar (%). The state follows the light in real time.
Advanced lighting scenes	According to the Scene Button property: Activate only, Toggle only (turns the scene on/off) or Activate and Off.
Macros	Run.
Relays	The driver reads how each relay is configured in the project: a relay in Toggle mode shows On (closes the contact) and Off (opens the contact); a relay in Pulse mode shows only Pulse, using the pulse time set in the project. When it cannot be identified, all three buttons are shown. The card shows the current state (On/Off), following the relay; if the relay does not report its state, the screen shows the last command it sent.
Shades	Open, Stop, Close and, when the shade reports its position, a position bar (%).

Installation

Add the driver to the project and include the button in the desired rooms.
Set the password in Password (numbers only, 2 to 8 digits). An invalid password is rejected and the previous one remains.
Choose the devices in List Lights, List Relays and List Blinds (multiple selection from the project tree).
For scenes and macros, use Add or Remove Lighting Scene and Add or Remove Macro: each choice in the list adds or removes the item ([X] = already on the screen). The result is shown in List Advanced Lighting and List Macros, in the order they were added.
If scenes or macros are created later, use the Refresh Scenes and Macros action (the lists also refresh on their own every 5 minutes).

Changing the password immediately locks every screen that was unlocked. If Password is left empty, the screen stays locked until a password is set.
