A SMARTlighting Zone is an area within the Floorplan that defines the behaviour of one or more lighting outputs.
Key Points About SMARTlighting Zones
- Several rooms may form part of the same SMARTlighting Zone.
- A SMARTlighting Zone is defined via the Channel Setup Wizard.
- The Auto Discover wizard leads on to the Channel Setup Wizard, meaning that a SMARTlighting Zone can be set up at the same time that a device is being detected and configured.
Once created, a SMARTlighting Zone's settings can be viewed and controlled on the Lighting Layer. Basic settings can be viewed and altered in the Info Panel, which is shown in the bottom-left corner of the Lighting Layer.
Below is a guide to the components that make up the Lighting Layer's Info Panel.
