Unlink/Clear Command
When managing LED dimmer channels in the IHC Plugin, you may need to remove or reset channel assignments. The plugin provides two distinct commands for this purpose: Unlink and Clear. Although they may seem similar, they serve different functions and have different effects on the system.
Understanding the difference between these commands is important to avoid accidental loss of configuration or unexpected behavior.

Command |
What it does |
Result |
|---|---|---|
|
Unlink |
Removes the channel ID from both the IHC Plugin configuration and the physical LED dimmer. |
The dimmer channel will no longer respond to commands sent to its previous channel ID. Configuration data remains in the plugin. |
|
Clear |
Deletes all configuration data related to the dimmer channel from the IHC Plugin database. |
The channel is fully reset and removed from the system. All settings are erased. |
Use Unlink when you want to disconnect a dimmer channel but keep its configuration for reference or reuse.
Use Clear when you want to completely remove the channel and start fresh.
