When you select the Tmall Genie app as the interaction interface, the platform provides a quick control button service that lets you configure quick control buttons for your device.
Introduction to quick control buttons
Quick control buttons enable rapid control of products based on Boolean properties defined in the Thing Specification Language (TSL) model. For example, clicking a quick control button can directly turn a product on or off.
Quick control buttons also support enumeration-type TSL model properties, allowing you to switch between fixed states—such as 'On', 'Speed 1', 'Speed 2', and 'Off'—with a single click.
To determine whether to configure quick control buttons, consider the product's usage scenarios, control logic, and whether the buttons should appear on the device interface.
Consider the usage scenario. This feature is designed to let consumers conveniently use a single button for two-state or multi-state control, such as switching a device on and off.
After configuration, the quick control button appears on the product card in the device list. See the following figure for the display style on the device. This is the official style and cannot be changed.
