After doing the optional off-site preparation, the system is ready for localizing the Interact ready luminaires and devices and deploying the behavior configurations. This is done by using the mobile app on-site.

Mains powered Interact ready luminaires and devices are added to groups or zones on-site using the mobile app and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to communicate. To ensure this process proceeds efficiently, follow these recommendations:

1 Ensure your mobile phone is fully charged and Bluetooth is enabled.

2 Set a long screen timeout of 10 minutes or more on your mobile phone. Eventually dim the screen brightness to save battery. The app must stay active while deploying behavior settings to groups. If the phone goes to sleep during deployment, deployment will have to be repeated.

3 Before attempting to add any mains powered luminaires or devices, power cycle them if they have been energized for more than 24 hours. After 24 hours, luminaires or devices at factory default settings may not be discoverable by the app.

4 Do not walk away with the mobile phone while adding luminaires and devices, or while deploying behavior settings to groups. The mobile app requires a stable BLE connection to each target device it adds to the wireless network. For behavior deployment to a group, the phone 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 group/network. In both cases, avoid breaking this connection by walking out of BLE range while the app is still adding or deploying.

5 Zigbee Green Power (ZGP) devices (battery-powered sensors and battery-powered or kinetic switches) require at least one mains powered device to be added to the group first. ZGP devices are transmit only devices, so a mains powered device is required to “hear” these devices to add them to the group. It is recommended to add all mains powered luminaires and devices to the groups in a wireless network first, then add the ZGP devices after.
