fake

The fake switch model is a model for testing switch functionality without physical hardware. It simulates a multi-position switch which you can control programmatically.

        "position_count": <number>,

      }

  ]
}

Attributes

The following attributes are available for the fake switch model:

NameTypeRequired?Description
position_countintRequiredThe number of positions that the switch can be in. Default: 2
labelsarrayOptionalAn array of labels corresponding to the positions. Default: numeric values for the number of positions, starting with 0.

Troubleshooting

If your fake switch is not working as expected:

  1. Check your machine logs on the LOGS tab to check for errors.
  2. Make sure the position_count matches the number of labels if both are specified.
  3. Verify that position values used with SetPosition are within the valid range (0 to position_count - 1).
  4. Click on the TEST panel on the CONFIGURE or CONTROL tab and test if you can use the switch there.
