Add lights

The term Lights in the app refers to any mains powered luminaire with a built-in sensor, transceiver or wireless driver. It also refers to other mains powered devices such as Smart T-LEDs, switch relays, and SR bridges or DALI extenders connected to a wireless sensor or transceiver. Lights can be added to either a group or a zone.

1 Go to the physical location of the group/zone where you would like to add lights and ensure that the lights are energized.

  • Luminaires with wireless drivers, Smart T-LEDs, non-Interact luminaires connected to SR Bridges, switch relays or DALI extenders should be on at full brightness.

  • Luminaires with built in sensors should be on at full brightness and each sensor’s LED indicator should turn from yellow to red when it detects motion and from red to yellow after motion is no longer detected.

2 Open and log in to the app, navigate to the project Setup page, tap the appropriate wireless network, then tap the group where the lights to be added. If the lights are to be added to a zone in the group, tap on the appropriate zone.

3 Tap Add lights.

4 Wait approximately 10 seconds for the lights to populate on your screen. During this time, the app is scanning for lights in BLE range of the mobile phone that have not been added to a wireless network yet.

5 You will see the list of lights within BLE range of the mobile phone on the app screen. The list is in order of BLE signal strength (strongest at the top of the list). In general, the lights at the top of the list are usually the closest physical lights to the phone.

6 Some lights are equipped with infrared (IR) receivers (luminaires with built-in sensors or transceivers, and Smart T-LEDs). If the IR receivers are visible (hyperlink to system guide), you can optionally use an IRT9090/01 or IRT9015/00 IR remote control to trigger add them. This enables you to add lights in a controlled order instead of blinking them in the scan list first to determine if they belong in the group. To use the IR remote:

  • Stand directly under the light.

  • Point the IR remote control straight up, directly at the IR receiver and press add (for IRT9090/01) or + (for IRT9015/00). The light will blink several times in response to the IR remote and the corresponding light in the app will move to the top of the scan list. When accidentally pressing - the device does add to the program, but is immediately reset. Resulting in a non-operational device. In that case, delete the device from the app and assign it again.

=== Do not walk away while lights are adding. Be patient and allow the light to finish adding before moving to the next light. You will see a green checkmark beside the light and the mobile phone will emit an audible beep when the light adds successfully. ===

  • If the light does not appear as assigned, try linking it again or power cycle the light.

7 For lights without IR receivers (luminaires with wireless drivers, switch relays), or if the IR remote cannot see the light’s IR receiver, or if you simply prefer to add lights using the blinking method instead of using the IR remote: (hyperlink to system guide)

  • Tap a light icon in the scan list. The corresponding light will blink several times. If the light that blinks is physically located in the group or zone that you would like to add it to, tap Add beside the light. If the light does not belong in the group, move to the next light in the list and repeat this process.

  • If the light does not appear as assigned, try linking it again or power cycle the light.

8 Tap Test at any time when adding lights. This brings up a screen with an on/off toggle button. Tap the button to turn off/on all of the lights in the group to ensure that the lights respond and to check if you have added the correct lights to the group.

9 Tap Done when all the lights are added to the group/zone.
