Deploy settings
Before deploying settings, make sure that all steps to set up the group are completed. This includes:
-
Adding all lights, sensors and switches to the group
-
Configuring the desired group behavior (high end trim, light behavior)
-
Creating scenes and assigning them to switches if required
The only exception is that Daylight sensor calibration should be done after you deploy settings to the group. If the wireless network will not have a gateway assigned, then deployment is done from the Interact Pro app directly to the lights using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The app establishes a BLE connection with a single device that acts as a BLE to Zigbee gateway, allowing the group behavior to be deployed through this device to all devices in the target group. For best results when deploying to groups:
-
Go to the group location first with your mobile phone before you deploy. This will minimize the amount of Zigbee hops (delay) required for the phone to reach the target lights. It is possible to deploy settings to any group in a wireless network so long as the phone is in BLE range of any light in that network, but being as close as possible to the target group is recommended.
-
While you are deploying group settings, do not walk away or let the app go to the background. The phone must maintain the BLE connection with the gateway device until the group settings are completely deployed.
If the wireless network will have a gateway assigned, it is not a requirement to deploy group settings before adding your gateways. Running a project update after your gateways are added will do this automatically for all groups in wireless networks with gateways, as part of updating the project settings. You don’t have to be on-site or keep the app active once the update is started for this to happen. Not deploying before you add your gateway(s) will save you approximately one minute of time per light.
1 Navigate to the appropriate Group, then tap Controls.
2 Tap Deploy settings. Deployment begins.

3 The app shows you the progress of the deployment.

4 On successful completion of deployment, a green tick mark with a message Deployed is seen. Once the deployment is successful, the lights will begin to operate as per the configured light behavior.
