1. What is an Action?

In Gravio HubKit, you can configure features called “Actions”. An Action is like a small computer program, composed of multiple “steps”. Actions can be created using the Action Editor.

2. Action Overview Display

When you click the Action Editor icon, a list of actions currently available in the HubKit will be displayed.

There are two tabs at the bottom of the screen:

1. HubKit - Actions installed in this HubKit
2. Local Folder - Actions that can be edited on your local computer (for deployment to other HubKits)

3. Creating a New Action

1. Click the “+” (plus) icon in the top right corner
2. A name input field will appear - enter the action name
3. Action files are saved with the .acs extension and can be shared
4. It is recommended to name actions based on what they do (result-based names rather than trigger-based names)

4. Action Management

Created actions will appear in the Action Overview screen and can be executed from triggers.

Each action has two buttons:

1. Export button - Exports the action as a file, allowing sharing on GitHub or with other users
2. Lock button - Locks the action to prevent accidental editing

Additionally, there is a button at the top of the screen to import .acs extension action files.

5. Local Folder Settings

The “Local Folder” tab allows you to set up a location for creating your own local actions without deploying them to Gravio HubKit.

When opening the Local Folder for the first time:

1. You need to set the folder location
2. Select a folder to save Gravio actions
3. After selecting the folder, click the “+” icon in the top right to create a local action
4. Double-click the action file to start editing

This allows you to develop actions in your local environment and deploy them to HubKit when ready.
