Controls the brightness levels of Touch Pure Flex and Touch Slim Flex Air and Tree.
Values for display and backlight brightness are calculated based on Presence (P) and whether the room is illuminated by daylight or artificial lighting (L). The display lights up when CBrB is not 0 or when inputs P or Don are active.
A room is considered dark if neither daylight nor artificial lighting (L) is active or current brightness is below threshold. Artificial lighting (L) is prioritized over daylight when calculating the brightness (CBrB).
Daylight is considered active when the current room brightness exceeds the Brightness threshold (Brt), and no artificial light sources (L) are on.
When the API output is connected to the Lighting Controller, it provides the values for artificial lighting (L), Presence (P), Room brightness (Br) and Brightness threshold (Brt), muting the inputs of the Touch Flex Controller.
The default values for the brightness parameters are configured based on the room type when the block is created, or when the first Touch Pure Flex or Touch Slim Flex is connected.
The Touch Slim Flex has no display and no status LEDs. If only Touch Slim Flex devices are connected, the inputs Don and Txt and the output BrD are hidden.

Inputs↑
| Abbreviation | Summary | Description | Unit | Value Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P | Presence | Presence is active. Activates the display of the Touch Pure Flex. | - | 0/1 |
| DnD | Do not Disturb | Display and backlight stay off when the device is idle. | - | 0/1 |
| LbT | Light by Touch | If checked, the first touch activates the light of the device but does not execute a command. | - | 0/1 |
| L | Lighting active | The room is illuminated by artificial lighting. This input is not used when a Lighting Controller is connected via the API Connector. | - | 0/1 |
| Br | Room brightness | Current room brightness. This input is not used when a Lighting Controller is connected via the API Connector. | lux | ∞ |
| Set | Set Brightness | Individual display brightness. The value will remain active until changes in presence, room brightness or artificial lighting are detected. | % | ∞ |
| Off | Off | Locks the block. Dominating input. | - | 0/1 |
| Don | Display On | Activate display. Display Brightness BrD will be used. Input is overruled by DnD. Not available on the Touch Slim Flex. This input is only visible in certain configurations. | - | 0/1 |
| Bl | Backlight On | Activate backlight. If current brightness CBrB is 0, default brightness BrDef will be used. Input is overruled by DnD | - | 0/1 |
| Txt | Display Text | Set custom display text. Display Brightness BrD will be used. Input is overruled by DnD. Not available on the Touch Slim Flex. This input is only visible in certain configurations. | - | - |
Parameters↑
| Abbreviation | Summary | Description | Unit | Value Range | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BrDP | Dark and Presence Brightness | Brightness for rooms with presence, without daylight or artificial lighting. | % | 0...100 | 30 |
| BrDnP | Dark and no Presence Brightness | Brightness for rooms without presence, without daylight or artificial lighting. | % | 0...100 | 0 |
| BrLP | Lighting and Presence Brightness | Brightness for rooms with presence and artificial lighting but actual room brightness below the threshold Brt. | % | 0...100 | 50 |
| BrLnP | Lighting and no Presence Brightness | Brightness for rooms without presence with artificial lighting but actual room brightness below the threshold Brt. | % | 0...100 | 0 |
| BrBP | Bright and Presence Brightness | Brightness for rooms with presence and room brightness above the threshold Brt. | % | 0...100 | 80 |
| BrBnP | Bright and no Presence Brightness | Brightness for rooms without presence and room brightness above the threshold Brt. | % | 0...100 | 0 |
| BrDef | Default Brightness | Default brightness used as a fallback for the backlight CBrB, and for the display BrD on the Touch Pure Flex, if the calculated brightness CBrB is 0. | % | 0...100 | 70 |
| Brt | Brightness threshold | If the room brightness exceeds the maximum value, the daylight settings are activated. This parameter is not used when a Lighting Controller is connected via the API Connector. | lux | 0...∞ | 30 |
Outputs↑
| Abbreviation | Summary | Description | Unit | Value Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CBrB | Current Brightness Backlight | Current Backlight brightness for connected devices. When Backlight Bl is active, BrDef is used as fallback if the value is 0. | - | ∞ |
| P | Presence | Presence is active. | - | 0/1 |
| L | Lighting Active | Lighting is active. | - | 0/1 |
| B | Bright | Active when room brightness is above the threshold. | - | 0/1 |
| Br | Room brightness | Current room brightness. | lux | ∞ |
| BrD | Brightness Display & status LEDs | Brightness used for the display when the display is active, and for the status LEDs when any LED is active. Brightness equals CBrB. If CBrB is 0, BrDef is used. Ensures the display and LEDs remain visible even when the backlight is inactive. Not available on the Touch Slim Flex. This output is only visible in certain configurations. | - | ∞ |
| API | API Connector | Intelligent API based connector. Can link several functions between devices and blocks. API Commands | - | - |

Touch Flex Controller integration with Lighting Controller↑
If a Lighting Controller is connected via the API Connector, the inputs L, Br and the parameter Brt of the Touch Flex Controller are not used.
Dark, Lighting or Daylight↑
Timing Diagram↑
When the brightness is set to 0% through a block parameter and the input LbT is active, the brightness defined in the device properties will be used when the display is touched.
