6.4 Applications and Interworking

6.4.1 Applications
The more than hundred already defined E-Mode Channels support applications beyond
simple input/output commands. E-Mode Channels are available for the following
functions: control of lights and shutters and blinds, scenes, weather sensors, logical
gates, clocks, room temperature control, valve control and many other.

6.4.2 Runtime - and Configuration Interworking
The common Functional Block basis guarantees that at runtime S-Mode, Ctrl-Mode,
E-Mode and the Group Objects of LTE-Mode use the same group messages with
information encoded in the same way. However, at Configuration time the fundamentally
different strategies for linking in Ctrl-Mode, PB-Mode and LTE-Mode make that these
devices cannot be linked directly to one another. This can only be achieved by reading
out the E-Mode installation and re-using or modifying the Group Addresses. This
functionality is planned for ETS 4.
