==Simulation LED Template component==
Base for creating simulation LEDs and other on/off visual indicators. Choose a 'Target Object' that will change colour when the pin changes; if multiple objects must change color, group them, and target the group. When 'Auto off color" is selected, changing the 'on color' will automatically choose an off color by reducing the intensity of the on color.

Simulation LED Template component

Base for creating simulation LEDs and other on/off visual indicators. Choose a 'Target Object' that will change colour when the pin changes; if multiple objects must change color, group them, and target the group. When 'Auto off color" is selected, changing the 'on color' will automatically choose an off color by reducing the intensity of the on color.
