Quick Start Guide - Foundation

Interact Pro - Foundation only works with Bluetooth-enabled lights (luminaires and lamps).

Using Bluetooth-enabled lights without a gateway only allows for local configuration and control via Bluetooth.
To remotely modify and control the lights, see Interact Pro - Advanced.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites are expected before starting:

  • The lights are physically installed and powered

Get started with the app

The Interact Pro app is the tool to configure a lighting system after installation.

Download the Interact Pro app from either Apple’s App Store (for iOS) or Google’s Play Store.

Self-registration with the app doesn’t automatically assign this role.

Manage the system

After configuring the system, ensure that the project can be accessed by the end user by creating an owner account.

  1. Tap the User icon tab.

  2. Tap Invite owner and enter the owner’s email address.
    Tap Next.
