+In the devices tab a number of devices can be configured. The following devices are currently supported.
+ * PGM - Configures a PGM switch device.
+ * X10 devices - Normally will become a switch, unless 'X10 dimmable' for the device is checked as well.
+ * Keypads (1-way or 2-way) - Will be automatically added if present, but have no function at this point.
+ * Sirens - The siren will show if a siren is active or not. A siren can only be turned off by disarming the partition. Note that sirens currently only work with [http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Release_Notes beta firmware] from MCV.

+In Powerlink Mode with Auto-config on, the configuration of devices is done automatically and the information cannot be edited. Whether an X10 device is dimmable or not can always be adjusted.
