New functionality

  • Mobile app supports commissioning with and without gateway (also known as PRF and Interact Pro - Advanced)

  • Supports the upgrade to connected features by adding gateway(s) to a project without gateway(s).

    • Adding a gateway automatically updates the gateway to the latest firmware version.

  • Supports luminaires without built-in sensors but also with built-in sensors.

  • Allows to commission second generation of lights via Bluetooth.

    • Allows the use of an IR remote control (pointing device) to directly group lights (for lights having an IR receiver).

  • Supports new Switch on/off behaviors (automated light control) for groups with built-in sensors named:

    • Light Auto On Auto Off

    • Light Auto On Auto Off with DDR

  • Supports manual demand response and OpenADR with dedicated gateway (North America only).

  • Supports handling of occupancy on group level when using a multi-sensor for daylight regulation (for luminaires without built-in sensor)

Bug fixes

  • Fixes an issue that caused inconsistent dimming behavior across different functions and devices (logarithmic versus linear dimming curves).
