Linked Widget
The Linked Widget allows control of a group based on an event on another Widget (the “Control” widget).
The Linked Widget uses a “Linked Event” on the Control Widget to trigger a “Linked Action” on its own group.

Example Use Case: Fan Run-On Timer
On a 1-key Key Unit in a Toilet, the key is set up with a Lighting Widget with “Toggle” Key Function to control the light. A Linked Widget can be set up to also turn on the fan when then light is turned on, and a second Linked Widget can be set up to start a timer to turn the fan off after 5 minutes, when the light is turned off.
