Connect a Footswitch
|
||
====================
|
||
|
||
When working, it is always better to have your two hands available.
|
||
Using Odoo’s *IoT Box* and a footswitch will allow it.
|
||
|
||
In fact, you will be able to go from one screen to another and perform
|
||
actions by using your foot and the footswitch. Really convenient, it
|
||
can be configured in a few steps.
|
||
|
||
Connection
|
||
==========
|
||
|
||
Connecting the footswitch to the *IoT Box* is easy, you just have to
|
||
connect the two by cable.
|
||
|
||
If your footswitch is a `supported
|
||
one <https://www.odoo.com/page/iot-hardware>`__, there is no need to
|
||
set up anything since it will be automatically detected when connected.

Link a Footswitch to a Workcenter
|
||
=================================
|
||
|
||
To link the footswitch to an action, it needs to be configured on a
|
||
workcenter. Go to the workcenter you want to use the footswitch in and
|
||
add the device in the *IoT Triggers* tab. Then, you can link it to an
|
||
action and also add a key to trigger it.

|
||
Note that the one that is first in the list will be chosen. So, the
|
||
order matters! In the picture above, using the footswitch will, for
|
||
example, automatically skip the current part of the process you work on.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
When you are on the work order screen, a status button indicates if you
|
||
are correctly connected to the footswitch. |
