- In System Browser, select Application View.
- Select Applications > Logics > Reactions.
- Open the Reaction Editor tab.
- Open the Triggers expander.
- Open the Values and States expander.
- In the System Browser, select the data point that displays the room state (for example, a limit switch on the wall).
- Drag the data point for the Closed state to the Values and States expander.
