This column contains buttons to control your zones and partitions. To rename a zone or partition, click on the blue link in the "Name" column. These can be renamed to whatever you like, so "Zone 1" can be renamed to "Front Door". The "Name" column shows the names of Partitions and Zones. The plugin displays all messages so that you know what the detailed status of the panel is.
