Overview

The Keilton+autani system provides intelligent control of commercial lighting through advanced Bluetooth Low Energy Mesh protocols (versions 4.2 and 5.0). Developed in the USA by LiteTrace, this system delivers industry-leading performance, security, and energy efficiency with wireless communication up to 100 feet or more between devices.

This article introduces the system's capabilities, explains key concepts, and identifies the main components you'll work with.

System Capabilities

With the Keilton+autani system, you can:

  • Commission wirelessly — Set up your entire lighting network directly from a mobile device without requiring internet access or gateways
  • Control flexibly — Manage individual fixtures or create customized lighting groups
  • Create scenes — Design preset lighting configurations for different activities and environments
  • Automate operations — Set schedules based on time, occupancy, and ambient light
  • Monitor energy — Track usage and optimize efficiency across your facility

Understanding LLLC

Luminaire-Level Lighting Control (LLLC) is the foundation of this system. LLLC means each individual light fixture is equipped with its own control device or integrated control system, allowing for independent control and management of each fixture.

LLLC Capabilities

Each LLLC luminaire can:

  • Detect human movement using integrated motion sensors
  • Measure ambient light levels using photosensors
  • Automatically respond by turning on, off, or dimming based on conditions
  • Operate independently without requiring a central controller

This approach maximizes energy efficiency because each fixture responds to its immediate environment rather than operating on a fixed schedule.

System Components

The Keilton+autani system consists of four main component types:

1. Networked Controllers and Sensors

Controllers connect to lighting fixtures while sensors detect occupancy and ambient light. Together, they create an intelligent lighting environment that responds automatically to changing conditions.

2. Wall Switches

Wireless controls that can be programmed to manage individual lights, groups, or activate custom scenes. These switches do not require complex wiring for installation.

3. The Keilton+autani Mobile App

The central interface for commissioning, configuring, and controlling all system components. Key features include:

  • Works without gateways or internet access
  • Uses data encryption for mesh network security
  • Stores configuration in encrypted QR codes
  • Available for iOS and Android devices

4. QR Codes

Encrypted codes that control access to each network device. QR codes enable secure sharing of zone access with authorized users while maintaining system security.

Bluetooth Mesh Networking

The system uses Bluetooth mesh networking, where each device can relay signals to other devices. This provides several advantages:

Benefit Description
Extended range Signals hop between devices, reaching far beyond single Bluetooth range
Self-healing If one device goes offline, the mesh routes around it automatically
Resilient connectivity The network maintains operation even with device failures
No central hub required Devices communicate directly without a gateway

Certifications & Compliance

LiteTrace certifications ensure the Keilton+autani system meets the highest industry standards:

  • UL 1376 Verification — First Chinese manufacturer to receive security capabilities verification
  • Full-Stack R&D — First to achieve in-house development for networked sensors and controllers
  • DLC NLC5 Listed — One of the first systems listed to DLC's Networked Lighting Controls standard

Data Persistence

All settings—including sensor parameters, group configurations, scene definitions, and schedules—are saved directly on individual luminaire controllers. This means:

  • The system continues operating correctly after power outages
  • No network connection is required for normal operation
  • Settings persist without cloud dependency

Before You Begin

For the best experience with the Keilton+autani system, ensure:

  • Your mobile device has Bluetooth 4.2 or later
  • Camera access is enabled for QR code scanning
  • Lighting fixtures are installed and powered
  • You plan to use a single device during commissioning

System Capacity Limits

Quick Reference

This page consolidates all platform capacity limits for the Keilton+autani NLC system in one place. Individual limits are also noted in their respective topic articles throughout this guide.

Overview

The Keilton+autani platform enforces specific capacity limits to ensure reliable wireless communication and system performance. Understanding these limits is essential when planning your installation, especially for larger facilities that may require multiple zones.

Capacity Limits Reference

Category Limit What Happens If Exceeded
Online Nodes Up to 100 online nodes per zone Divide into additional zones
Luminaire / Group A light can belong to up to 20 groups Adding a 21st group removes the light from the first group automatically
Scenes (per light) Up to 32 scenes per light Adding a 33rd scene removes the first scene from that light
Scenes (per zone) Up to 66 scenes per zone Includes Quick Create Scenes and scenes from template creation
Schedules Up to 32 schedules per zone Additional schedules cannot be created
Switches Up to 32 switches per zone Area sensors count toward this limit (see details below)
Zones Unlimited zones per app on a mobile phone No restriction
Data Persistence All settings saved on individual luminaire controllers System continues operating after power outages or without network connection

Online Node Details

Online nodes include the following device types:

  • LLLC sensors — IFS108, EFS106, EFS104, etc.
  • Controllers — PPA102S, PPA104S, FA102, WF20R, PPA109, etc.
  • Area sensors — CS107S, CS107D, etc.
  • Sensor switches — IWS102, etc.
  • Dongles and gateways — CR01, CR02, CR04, BG01, etc.

Exclusions from the 100-Node Limit

Wall switches and battery-powered BCS107 sensors are not counted toward the 100 online node limit. However, they do count toward other limits (see Switch details below).

Zone Sizing Guidelines

When dividing a site into zones, follow these physical constraints to maintain reliable wireless coverage:

Guideline Recommendation
Maximum radius 150 feet
Maximum area 9,000 square feet
Signal obstructions Avoid concrete walls or large metal objects within a zone
Node count No more than 100 online nodes per zone

Switch Limit Details

The 32-switch limit per zone is calculated separately from the 100-node light limit. Adding switches to a zone does not reduce the available online node count.

Devices that count toward the 32-switch limit:

  • Battery-powered switches — WP1013, WP1018, WP1025, etc.
  • Line voltage switches — WP1013S, WP1017S, WP1018S
  • Area sensors — CS107D, CS107S, BCS107

Tip

Because some area sensors count toward the switch limit (32), plan your sensor placement with both limits in mind.

Planning with Capacity Limits

Control Intent Narrative (CIN) and Sequences of Operations (SOO)

Before purchasing and installing an NLC system, facility managers should define owner requirements and control system goals in a design document called the Control Intent Narrative (CIN) and Sequences of Operations (SOO). Two industry standards that can assist in creating these documents are:

  1. ANSI/IES LP-6-20, Lighting Control Systems: Properties, Selection, and Specification
  2. ANSI/IES LP-16-22, Documenting Control Intent Narratives and Sequences of Operations

At a minimum, the CIN and SOO should contain:

  • A floor plan and the functions of each zone
  • Each light's model number, quantity, and position
  • Zone definitions based on lighting functions, observing the 100-node and physical size limits above
  • Group number, group name, scene number, scene name, and approximate scene design for each zone
  • Switch type and number, as well as the function of buttons for each zone

Understanding the Commissioning Process

Overview

Commissioning is the process of setting up and configuring your lighting network. This transforms individual lighting fixtures into an intelligent, coordinated system. This article explains the recommended workflow, best practices, and critical rules for successful commissioning.

What Happens During Commissioning

During the commissioning process, you will:

  • Create zones to organize your installation
  • Add lights to each zone
  • Organize lights into groups
  • Create scenes for different activities
  • Configure sensor parameters
  • Assign switches to control lights
  • Set up schedules for automated operation

All settings are saved directly to each luminaire controller, ensuring the system continues operating correctly after power outages or without network connection.

Follow this four-phase approach for efficient commissioning:

Phase 1: Preparation

Complete these tasks before arriving on site:

  • Define the Control Intent Narrative (CIN) and Sequence of Operations (SOO)
  • Document zone functions, light positions, and quantities
  • Pre-define group names, scene names, and switch assignments
  • Verify all lights are installed
  • Test power for each fixture

Phase 2: Lights, Groups, and Scenes

Configure the basic structure of your lighting network:

  1. Create zones and generate QR codes
  2. Connect lights to the app
  3. Organize lights into groups
  4. Create scene settings
  5. Add and configure switch controls
  6. Set timers and schedules

Phase 3: Sensor Configuration

Fine-tune automatic behavior:

  1. Set sensor parameters (time delays, sensitivity, dim levels)
  2. Configure light linkage levels between grouped fixtures
  3. Set auto light levels using calibration or manual settings

Phase 4: Project Delivery

Complete the handoff:

  1. Verify all configurations are working correctly
  2. Sync all data to the cloud
  3. Share QR codes with the building owner or facility manager
  4. Provide both Admin and User level access as appropriate

Critical Best Practices

Use Only One Device

Never use more than one mobile device during commissioning. Using multiple devices simultaneously can cause:

  • Data corruption
  • Duplicate light addresses
  • Unexpected system behavior

Designate one device as the commissioning tool and use it exclusively throughout the process.

Limit Powered Lights

Do not power more than 100 factory-setting lights at once. Having too many lights broadcasting signals can:

  • Deteriorate commissioning performance
  • Cause wireless communication interference
  • Result in failed connections

Power off lights that are not in your current zone before continuing.

Sync Before Sharing

Always sync your data before sharing QR codes. The app saves commissioning data to the cloud in the background, but you should verify synchronization:

  • A red dot next to the zone name indicates unsynced data
  • Navigate to More → Force Sync to manually sync
  • Never share QR codes while the red dot is displayed

Pre-Plan Your Installation

Creating zones, groups, and scenes before arriving on site significantly reduces commissioning time. Your Control Intent Narrative should include:

Element Details to Document
Floor plan Zone boundaries and functions
Lights Model numbers, quantities, positions
Zone definitions Max 100 nodes, < 150 ft radius, < 9,000 sq ft
Groups Names and member lights
Scenes Names and light level designs
Switches Types, quantities, button assignments

Handling Poor Connectivity

If you have poor internet connectivity on site, you can still complete commissioning:

  1. Turn off WiFi or enable airplane mode on your device
  2. Complete all commissioning work offline
  3. When finished, connect to a reliable internet connection
  4. Navigate to More → Force Sync to upload your data

Important

Do not share QR codes until after you have successfully synced.

Industry Standards Reference

Two industry standards can assist in creating your Control Intent Narrative and Sequence of Operations:

  • ANSI/IES LP-6-20: Lighting Control Systems: Properties, Selection, and Specification
  • ANSI/IES LP-16-22: Documenting Control Intent Narratives and Sequences of Operations

Common Issues and Solutions

Issue Solution
Lights not appearing in scan Verify power, reduce total powered lights, move closer
Red dot won't clear Check internet connection, try Force Sync again
Data conflicts between users Ensure only one device is used for commissioning
Slow commissioning performance Power off lights not in current zone
Can't add lights to zone Verify zone has fewer than 100 nodes

Quick Reference: Commissioning Phases

Phase Key Activities
1. Preparation Define CIN/SOO, verify installations, pre-plan
2. Lights/Groups/Scenes Create zones, add lights, organize, configure
3. Sensor Configuration Set parameters, configure linkage, calibrate
4. Project Delivery Verify, sync, share QR codes

02 Zones & QR Codes

Creating and Managing Zones

Video Tutorial

Watch the companion video Chapter 2: Zones and QR Codes for a visual walkthrough of these steps.

Overview

Zones are the foundation of your Keilton+autani lighting network. A zone is a defined area containing lights, switches, sensors, and other devices that are managed together. Each zone operates independently with its own settings and QR codes.

Before you can add lights or configure your system, you must first create at least one zone.

Zone Capacity and Planning

Each zone supports up to 100 online nodes, including: - LLLC sensors (IFS108, EFS106, EFS104, etc.) - Controllers (PPA102S, PPA104S, FA102, WF20R, etc.) - Area sensors (CS107S, CS107D, etc.) - Dongles and gateways (CR01, CR02, CR04, BG01, etc.)

Note

Wall switches and battery-powered sensors (BCS107) do not count toward the 100-node limit.

Working with QR Codes (Admin vs User)

Overview

QR codes are the key to accessing and controlling your Keilton+autani lighting zones. Every zone you create automatically generates two QR codes—one for Admin access and one for User access. These codes contain encrypted configuration data that controls access to all devices in the zone.

Think of QR codes as encrypted keys: without the correct code, no one can access or control your lighting network. This provides security without requiring passwords or user accounts.

Admin vs User Access Levels

The two QR codes provide different levels of access to your lighting system.

Admin Access

The Admin QR code provides full control over the zone. With Admin access, you can:

  • Add and delete lights, switches, and sensors
  • Create, modify, and delete groups
  • Configure scenes and schedules
  • Adjust all sensor settings and parameters
  • Change trim settings and advanced configurations
  • Share both Admin and User QR codes with others

User Access

The User QR code provides operational control only. With User access, you can:

  • Turn lights on and off
  • Dim lights and adjust brightness
  • Adjust color temperature (on supported fixtures)
  • Activate scenes
  • Control lights within groups

With User access, you cannot:

  • Add, delete, or reconfigure any devices
  • Create or modify groups, scenes, or schedules
  • Change sensor settings or parameters
  • Share Admin access (only Admin code holders can do this)

Scanning a QR Code

To access a zone using a QR code:

  1. Open the app and navigate to More → My Zones.
  2. Tap Scan or Select QR code at the top of the list.
  3. Your camera will activate. Center the QR code within the frame on your screen.
  4. The app automatically scans and processes the code.
  5. Once scanned, the zone appears in your My Zones list with the corresponding access level.

Scanning from a Saved Image

If you have a QR code saved as an image on your device:

  1. Navigate to More → My Zones.
  2. Tap Scan or Select QR code.
  3. Tap the Album button.
  4. Navigate to and select the saved QR code image.
  5. The app reads the code and adds the zone to your list.

Important Considerations

  • Protect Admin codes: Anyone with the Admin QR code has full system access. Only share Admin codes with trusted personnel.

  • Access cannot be revoked: Once someone has scanned an Admin code, you cannot revoke their access without resetting the entire zone.

  • One zone per code: Each QR code is tied to a specific zone. You need separate codes for each zone.

  • User limitations protect your system: Users cannot accidentally (or intentionally) reconfigure your lighting system.

03 Lights (Basic)

Adding Lights to Your Network

Video Tutorial

Watch the companion video Chapter 3: Adding Lights for a visual walkthrough of these steps.

Overview

With your zone created, you can begin adding lights to your network. This article covers how to search for available lights, select the ones you want, add them to your zone, and verify successful connections.

Before You Begin

Ensure the following before adding lights:

  • Lights are powered on
  • You are in the correct zone (check zone name at top of Lights page)
  • No more than 100 factory-setting lights are powered simultaneously
  • Lights not in the current zone are powered off to prevent interference

Note

The total number of lights currently in your zone is displayed below the zone name on the Lights page.

Searching for Lights

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Lights page.
  2. Tap the + button in the upper left corner.
  3. The app checks your current zone status:

Naming Lights and Setting Rated Power

Overview

After adding lights to your network, you should give them meaningful names and set their rated power for accurate energy monitoring. Descriptive names make it easy to identify specific fixtures when creating groups, scenes, or troubleshooting issues.

Why Naming Matters

Clear, descriptive names help you:

  • Quickly identify specific fixtures in the app
  • Create logical groups and scenes
  • Troubleshoot issues efficiently
  • Document your installation for future maintenance
  • Hand off projects to facility managers

Example: Instead of "Light 001," use names like "Conference Room A - North" or "Hallway Light 3."

Renaming a Light

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Lights page.
  2. Tap a light's icon to turn it on or off—this helps you identify the physical fixture.
  3. Long press (press and hold) on the light's icon to open the Light Dimming settings page.
  4. Tap the light's name in the upper left corner of the screen.
  5. Enter the new name in the dialog box that appears.
  6. Tap OK to save.

The light now displays with its updated name on the Lights page.

Using Suggested Names

When entering names, the app may suggest names based on your previous entries. Tap a suggestion to use it quickly—this speeds up naming when you have many similar lights.

Naming Best Practices

Approach Example Names
Location-based "Conf Room A - North", "Hallway 3 - East"
Numbered sequence "Open Office 01", "Open Office 02"
Function-based "Reception Desk", "Server Room Main"
Grid reference "Bay A-3", "Row 2 Column 5"

Tips for Effective Naming

  • Use a consistent naming convention across your installation
  • Include location identifiers (building, floor, room)
  • Keep names concise but descriptive
  • Consider how names will appear in groups and scenes
  • Document your naming scheme for future reference

Setting Rated Power

Rated power (wattage) enables accurate energy monitoring across your installation. The system uses this value to calculate and report actual energy consumption.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Long press on a light's icon to open the Light Dimming settings page.
  2. Locate the wattage field on this page.
  3. Enter the rated wattage of the fixture.

04 Sensor Configuration

Default Sensor Settings by Product

What this article covers

This article lists the factory default sensor parameter values that fixtures and controllers ship with, organized by product family. Use it as a baseline reference before adjusting settings for your space. For an explanation of what each parameter does and recommended values by space type, see Understanding Sensor Settings.

Overview

Every sensor-equipped device in the Keilton+autani system ships with a set of out-of-the-box default values. These defaults differ by product family—an integrated indoor sensor, a sensor-ready controller, a wet-location sensor, and a line-voltage ceiling sensor each start from a different baseline.

Knowing the defaults helps you:

  • Understand how a device behaves before any configuration.
  • Identify which parameters you've changed during commissioning.
  • Predict device behavior after a factory reset.

Integrated & Sensor-Ready Devices

The table below covers integrated sensor fixtures, sensor-ready controllers, wet-location integrated sensors, and the PPA102S.

Parameter Integrated Sensors
(IFS108, IFS105, EFS106, EFS104, IFS101)		 Sensor-Ready Controllers
(FA102, WPPA102, PPA104S, WF20R)		 Integrated Sensors – Wet Location

Daylight min dim = Low end trim = Low end trim = Low end trim = Low end trim

Footnotes

¹ Daylight harvesting is enabled by default, but the task level is not set by default. Sensors will not begin dimming for daylight harvesting until they are commissioned and configured.

When a photocell is enabled, the sensor ignores the T1/T2 timer settings and responds to ambient light levels instead.

Line-Voltage Ceiling Sensors

These defaults apply to the CS107D and CS107S line-voltage occupancy sensors.

Parameter Dual Mode
(CS107D.A0)		 Dual Mode
(CS107D.B1)		 Single Mode
(CS107S)

Daylight harvesting N/A ON *¹ ON *¹

Footnote

¹ Daylight harvesting is enabled by default, but the task level is not set by default. Sensors will not begin dimming for daylight harvesting until they are commissioned and configured.

How to Change These Defaults

Defaults are starting points—you'll typically adjust them during commissioning to suit each space.

  1. Navigate to the Lights page.
  2. Long press on a sensor-equipped light to open the Light Dimming page.
  3. Tap the Sensor Settings icon in the lower right corner.
  4. Adjust the parameters as needed.
  5. Tap Save.

For parameter explanations and recommended values by space type, see Understanding Sensor Settings.

Behavior After a Factory Reset

Restoring a device to factory settings returns every parameter above to its default value. On sensor-ready controllers, sensor features (including motion) revert to OFF and must be re-enabled and reconfigured. See Restoring Factory Settings.

Understanding Sensor Settings

Video Tutorial

Watch the companion video Chapter 4: How to Configure Lights and Sensors for a visual walkthrough of these steps.

Overview

Sensor settings control how your lights respond to occupancy and ambient light. Understanding these parameters is essential for balancing comfort, safety, and energy savings. This article explains the key sensor parameters you'll configure in the Keilton+autani system.

Accessing Sensor Settings

  1. Navigate to the Lights page.
  2. Long press on a sensor-equipped light to open the Light Dimming page.
  3. Tap the Sensor Settings icon in the lower right corner.

The sensor settings panel displays all configurable parameters for the selected fixture.

T1: First Time Delay

What it does: T1 defines how long lights stay at full working level after detecting motion.

How it works: - When motion is detected, the light turns on and T1 starts counting - Continuous motion resets T1 - When motion stops, T1 counts down - At the end of T1, the light enters the T2 phase

Typical values:

Space Type Recommended T1
Storage room 10 minutes
Corridor 10 minutes
Open office 20 minutes
Meeting room 20 minutes
Classroom 30-40 minutes

T2: Second Time Delay

What it does: T2 is a warning phase before lights turn off. During T2, lights dim to a reduced level.

How it works: - After T1 expires, T2 begins - Lights dim to the configured Dim Level - This visual cue warns occupants lights will soon turn off - Movement during T2 returns lights to full brightness and resets T1

Typical values: 1-5 minutes

Special option: Set T2 to "Infinite" if lights should never turn completely off—useful for corridors, stairwells, and safety areas.

Dim Level

What it does: Dim Level sets the brightness during the T2 warning phase, expressed as a percentage of the working light level.

How it works: - A 50% dim level means lights reduce to half brightness during T2 - Lower values (30%) save more energy but provide less visibility - Higher values (80%) maintain more light but save less energy

Recommendations by space:

Space Type Dim Level
Storage room 30%
Corridor 30%
Open office 50%
Meeting room 80%
Classroom 80%

Sensitivity

What it does: Sensitivity controls how responsive the motion sensor is to movement.

Settings: - High sensitivity (100%): Detects small movements from greater distances - Low sensitivity: Requires more deliberate motion to trigger

Guidelines: - Use high sensitivity in large open areas - Reduce sensitivity near HVAC vents, ceiling fans, or other sources of air movement - Reduce sensitivity if experiencing false triggers

Occupancy vs Vacancy Mode

The system offers two operating modes:

Occupancy Mode (Auto On / Auto Off)

  • Lights turn ON automatically when motion is detected
  • Lights turn OFF automatically when T1/T2 timers expire
  • Fully automatic operation

Vacancy Mode (Manual On / Auto Off)

  • Lights must be turned ON manually via switch or app
  • Lights turn OFF automatically when T1/T2 timers expire
  • Saves energy in spaces where lights aren't always needed
Space T1 T2 Dim Level Mode
Open office 20 min 1 min 50% Occupancy
Meeting room 20 min 1 min 80% Occupancy
Classroom 30-40 min 5 min 80% Occupancy
Storage room 10 min 1 min 30% Occupancy
Corridor 10 min 1 min - Infinite 30% Occupancy
Restroom 15 min 1 min 50% Occupancy

Linkage Light Level

What it does: When no movement is detected during T1, but other lights in the same group detect movement (with linkage enabled), lights dim to the linkage light level instead of following normal T2 behavior.

How it works: - Linkage level is a percentage of the working light level - Linkage can override T2 behavior - Useful for maintaining some light in adjacent areas

Quick Reference

Parameter Function Typical Range
T1 Full brightness hold time 10-40 minutes
T2 Dimmed warning phase 1-5 min or Infinite
Dim Level T2 brightness 30-80%
Sensitivity Motion detection range Low to 100%
Mode Auto-on behavior Occupancy or Vacancy
Linkage Level Brightness when group motion detected 50-100%

Configuring Motion Sensors

Overview

After understanding sensor parameters, you need to configure them for your specific installation. This article walks through enabling motion sensors, adjusting sensitivity, setting hold times, and using the local motion disable feature.

Accessing Motion Sensor Settings

  1. Navigate to the Lights page.
  2. Long press on a sensor-equipped light.
  3. Tap the Sensor Settings icon in the lower right corner.

The sensor settings panel opens with all motion sensor controls.

Enabling and Disabling Motion Sensors

To Enable Motion Sensors

  1. Locate the Motion sensor toggle in the settings panel.
  2. Toggle it ON.
  3. The fixture now responds to detected motion according to your T1, T2, and dim level settings.

To Disable Motion Sensors

  1. Toggle the Motion sensor switch OFF.
  2. The fixture ignores motion entirely.

Use cases for disabling: - Fixtures where you want manual control only - Areas with persistent false triggers that cannot be resolved - Fixtures controlled exclusively via schedule or scene

Disabling Local Motion Only

In some situations, you want a fixture to participate in group linkage but not respond to its own sensor.

When to Use This Feature

  • Near HVAC units that cause false triggers
  • Near ceiling fans with moving air
  • Where local sensor placement causes unreliable detection
  • When the fixture should only respond to other sensors in its group

How to Configure

  1. In sensor settings, enable Motion sensors.
  2. Find the Disable local motion trigger option.
  3. Enable this setting.
  4. Tap Save.

The fixture now ignores motion detected by its own sensor but responds to linkage commands from other sensors in its group.

Adjusting Sensitivity

Sensitivity controls how responsive the motion sensor is to movement.

To Adjust Sensitivity

  1. Locate the Sensitivity slider in sensor settings.
  2. Drag to adjust:
  3. 100% = Maximum detection range and responsiveness
  4. Lower values = Requires more deliberate motion to trigger
  5. Tap Save to apply.

Sensitivity Guidelines

Environment Recommended Sensitivity
Large open areas High (80-100%)
Small enclosed rooms Medium (50-70%)
Near HVAC vents Reduced (30-50%)
Near ceiling fans Reduced (30-50%)
Areas with pets Reduced (40-60%)

Configuring Hold Times

Hold times determine how long lights stay on after motion stops.

Setting T1 (Primary Hold Time)

  1. Locate the T1 setting.
  2. Adjust based on typical activity duration:
  3. Conference room: 20-30 minutes
  4. Storage room: 10 minutes
  5. Office: 20 minutes
  6. Tap Save.

Setting T2 (Warning Phase)

  1. Locate the T2 setting.
  2. Set the dimmed warning duration:
  3. 1 minute is typical for most spaces
  4. 5 minutes for spaces with longer activity
  5. Infinite for areas where lights should never turn off

Infinite Time Delay

Both T1 and T2 can be set to "Infinite" for spaces where automatic shutoff is not desired:

  • Corridors and hallways
  • Stairwells
  • Safety-critical areas
  • 24/7 operation spaces

Saving Your Settings

After configuring all settings:

  1. Tap the Save button in the upper right corner.
  2. The fixture flashes once to confirm settings were received.

If you don't see a flash, the settings may not have been applied. Verify the light is online and try again.

Troubleshooting False Triggers

Cause Solution
HVAC air movement Disable local motion; use group linkage
Ceiling fans Reduce sensitivity or reposition sensor
Reflective surfaces (glass, mirrors) Adjust sensor angle; reduce sensitivity
Small animals or insects Reduce sensitivity
Moving objects (curtains, banners) Reduce sensitivity; adjust T1
Direct sunlight on sensor Reposition or shade sensor

Manual OFF Override Settings

Overview

Manual OFF Override prevents lights from automatically turning on after you've intentionally turned them off. This feature creates a window of time where lights ignore motion triggers, giving you control over when lights should stay dark.

What Is Manual OFF Override?

In occupancy mode, lights normally turn on automatically when motion is detected. However, there are situations where you want lights to stay off even if there's movement:

  • During a presentation when you've dimmed the room
  • After leaving for the day
  • In spaces where you need intentional darkness

Manual OFF Override solves this by temporarily disabling automatic turn-on after a manual off command.

How It Works

Event What Happens
Light turned off manually (app, switch, or schedule) Override timer starts
Motion detected during override Timer resets; light stays off
Override timer expires with no motion Light returns to normal auto-on behavior
Override timer expires after motion Light ready for next motion trigger
Light turned on manually Override canceled; normal operation resumes

Key point: Motion during the override period resets the timer. This extends the override as long as there's activity, keeping lights off for the duration of a meeting or presentation.

Configuring Override Duration

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Lights page.
  2. Long press on a sensor-equipped light.
  3. Tap the Sensor Settings icon.
  4. Locate the Manual OFF Override time setting.
  5. Select the desired duration.
  6. Tap Save.

Duration Options

  • Specific time: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours (options vary)
  • Infinite: Lights stay off until manually turned back on
Application Suggested Override Duration
Standard office 30 minutes - 1 hour
Conference room 2 hours
Classroom / Lecture hall 2 hours
Storage room 15-30 minutes
Photography / AV studio Infinite
Residential bedroom Infinite
Theater / Presentation space 2-4 hours
End-of-day shutdown 1 hour

Use Cases

Presentations and Meetings

Set override to match your longest expected meeting duration (typically 2 hours). When someone dims the lights for a presentation, they stay dimmed even as people move around the room.

End of Workday

When the last person leaves and turns off the lights, the override prevents motion from cleaning staff, security cameras, or other activity from turning lights back on immediately.

Intentional Darkness

Photography studios, AV rooms, sleep areas, and theater spaces benefit from longer override periods (or Infinite) to maintain darkness regardless of motion.

Energy Savings

Shorter override periods help ensure lights don't stay off too long after normal activity resumes, balancing energy savings with occupant convenience.

Infinite Override

Setting Manual OFF Override to Infinite provides complete manual control:

  • Lights stay off until explicitly turned back on
  • No automatic turn-on regardless of motion
  • Useful for spaces requiring full manual control

Note

With Infinite override, occupants must manually turn lights on every time they enter the space.

Default Setting

The default Manual OFF Override is typically set to Infinite (varies by firmware version). Adjust based on your specific application needs.

Important Considerations

  • Override only applies after manual off: Automatic shutoff (via timers) does not trigger the override
  • Any manual on cancels override: Turning lights on via app, switch, or scene ends the override period
  • Schedule commands count as manual: Scheduled off commands trigger the override
  • Works in occupancy mode: Has no effect in vacancy mode (lights don't auto-on anyway)

Quick Reference

Concept Description
Manual OFF Override Ignores motion after manual off command
Timer Reset Motion during override extends the timer
Infinite Lights stay off until manually turned on
Cancel Override Turn lights on manually

Daylight Harvesting Strategies

Video Tutorial

Watch the companion video Chapter 10: How to Configure Daylight Harvesting and Photocell Settings for a visual walkthrough of these steps.

Overview

Daylight harvesting automatically adjusts electric light output based on available natural light. When sunlight is plentiful, fixtures dim down. When it's darker, they brighten. This maintains consistent illumination while significantly reducing energy consumption—often by 30-60% during daylight hours.

How Daylight Harvesting Works

The Process

  1. Photosensors in the fixture measure ambient light levels continuously
  2. As natural light increases, the fixture dims down
  3. As natural light decreases, the fixture brightens up
  4. The goal is maintaining a consistent light level on the work surface

Energy Savings

Spaces with good natural light can achieve 30-60% energy reduction during daylight hours. Savings depend on window orientation, time of year, and weather conditions.

Enabling Daylight Harvesting

Prerequisites

  • Fixture must have a photosensor installed or connected
  • Do NOT enable on fixtures without photosensors (causes erratic dimming)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Lights page.
  2. Long press on a photosensor-equipped light.
  3. Tap the Sensor Settings icon.
  4. Locate the Daylight harvesting toggle and enable it.
  5. Tap the settings button beside the toggle to configure strategy.
  6. Select your preferred strategy.
  7. Tap Save.

Daylight Harvesting Strategies

The system offers three pre-defined strategies plus a custom option:

Soft Strategy

Parameter Setting
Response speed Slow
Minimum dim level 50%

Best for: Independent offices, parlors, reception areas, executive spaces

Characteristics: Gentle, subtle light adjustments that minimize occupant awareness of changes. Prioritizes visual comfort over maximum savings.

Mild Strategy

Parameter Setting
Response speed Medium
Minimum dim level 30%

Best for: Open offices, classrooms, meeting rooms, retail spaces

Characteristics: Balanced approach offering good energy savings while maintaining occupant comfort. Most commonly used strategy.

Aggressive Strategy

Parameter Setting
Response speed Quick
Minimum dim level = Low-end trim (1% or 10%)

Best for: Storage rooms, warehouses, utility areas, back-of-house spaces

Characteristics: Maximizes energy savings with rapid response to changing light conditions. May be noticeable to occupants but appropriate for utility spaces.

Custom Strategy

Allows fine-tuning of individual parameters for specialized applications.

Custom Strategy Parameters

Parameter Function Guidelines
DH Min Dim (%) Lowest dim level allowed Set higher (50%) for comfort; lower for savings
Delay Time (S) Seconds to wait before dimming down Longer delays (30-60s) prevent rapid changes
Speed (100ms) How quickly fixture dims Higher values = slower, smoother transitions

Minimum Dim Level

The minimum dim level (DH Min Dim) sets the lowest brightness daylight harvesting can reach.

Why It Matters

  • Prevents the "cave effect" if clouds suddenly block the sun
  • Ensures some electric light is always present
  • Provides a safety margin for sudden daylight changes

Relationship to Trim

If you set minimum dim level lower than low-end trim, the low-end trim value takes precedence as the actual minimum.

Strategy Selection Guide

Space Type Recommended Strategy
Executive office Soft
Private office Soft
Reception area Soft
Open office Mild
Classroom Mild
Meeting room Mild
Retail floor Mild
Storage room Aggressive
Warehouse Aggressive
Loading dock Aggressive
Utility area Aggressive

When to Disable Daylight Harvesting

Disable daylight harvesting in the following situations:

  • No photosensor: Fixtures without photosensors will dim erratically
  • Windowless spaces: No natural light to harvest
  • Consistent lighting required: Spaces where light level must not vary
  • Sensor-ready controllers without connected sensors: Will malfunction

Calibration

For best results, run auto calibration after enabling daylight harvesting:

  1. Navigate to More → Auto Calibration
  2. Select the group to calibrate
  3. Follow the calibration process

Calibration helps the system accurately measure ambient light and set appropriate working levels.

Troubleshooting

Issue Possible Cause Solution
Lights dim erratically No photosensor connected Disable daylight harvesting
Lights too dim in morning Min dim set too low Increase DH Min Dim
Lights don't dim in bright sun Not calibrated Run auto calibration
Rapid flickering Delay time too short Increase delay time
Noticeable stepping Speed too fast Increase speed value

Photocell Settings and Calibration

Video Tutorial

Watch the companion video Chapter 10: How to Configure Daylight Harvesting and Photocell Settings for a visual walkthrough of these steps.

Overview

Photocell sensors turn lights on and off based on ambient light levels, providing dusk-to-dawn operation. Proper threshold configuration ensures reliable operation without unwanted cycling.

Understanding Thresholds

ON Threshold

The light level below which the fixture turns on. - Typically set for dusk conditions - Default: 10 fc (100 lux)

OFF Threshold

The light level above which the fixture turns off. - Typically set for dawn conditions - Default: 60 fc (600 lux)

The Gap

The difference between ON and OFF thresholds: - Prevents rapid cycling during variable conditions - Minimum recommended: 15 fc (150 lux) - Larger gaps provide more stability

Default Settings

Parameter Default Value
ON threshold 10 fc (100 lux)
OFF threshold 60 fc (600 lux)

Auto-Calibration

Auto-calibration calculates the OFF threshold automatically based on your ON threshold.

Using Presets

  1. Access photocell settings for the fixture.
  2. Select a preset ON threshold: 5 fc, 50 fc, or 100 fc.
  3. Lights cycle on and off to calculate OFF threshold.
  4. Wait for calibration to complete.
  5. Success message or rapid flash indicates result.

Using Custom Values

  1. Enter a custom ON threshold value.
  2. Tap Cal to calculate OFF threshold.
  3. Wait for calibration to complete.

Manual Setting

If auto-calibration fails or you prefer direct control:

  1. Enter desired ON threshold.
  2. Enter desired OFF threshold (at least 15 fc higher).
  3. Tap Send to apply.

Threshold Recommendations

Application ON Threshold OFF Threshold
Security lighting 5-10 fc 50-60 fc
Parking lots 10-20 fc 60-80 fc
Walkways 10-15 fc 60-75 fc
Building facades 5-10 fc 50-60 fc
General outdoor 10 fc 60 fc

Calibration Failures

Indication

Lights flash rapidly several times.

Common Causes

Cause Solution
Sensor tilted Reposition to face sky/ambient
Daylight too bright Calibrate indoors or at twilight
Variable conditions Wait for stable lighting
Sensor reading fixture light Increase OFF threshold
Sensor blocked Clear obstructions

If Calibration Continues to Fail

  • Use manual threshold setting
  • Try calibrating at a different time
  • Check sensor installation and positioning

Installation Considerations

Scenario Adjustment
Sensor faces reflective wall Higher OFF threshold
Direct sunlight on sensor Reposition or shield
Heavy tree cover Lower ON threshold
Street lighting nearby Consider interference

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
Lights won't turn on at dusk ON threshold too low Increase ON threshold
Lights won't turn off at dawn OFF threshold too high Decrease OFF threshold
Lights cycling on/off Gap too small Increase gap between thresholds
Calibration fails repeatedly Environmental factors Use manual setting

Sensor-Ready Controller Setup

Overview

Sensor-ready controllers are fixtures equipped with sensor connectors but shipped with sensor features disabled by default. This article explains how to identify these controllers, enable sensor functionality, and configure them for your installation.

What Are Sensor-Ready Controllers?

Sensor-ready controllers have built-in connectors for external sensors but ship with sensor features turned off. This ensures they work properly out of the box without requiring sensor configuration.

Compatible Models

Model Description
FA102 Fixture-mount controller
WPPA102 Wall-pack controller
PPA104S Power pack controller
WF20R Wireless fixture controller

Configuration Options

You can configure sensor-ready controllers in two ways:

Option 1: With Connected Eco-Sensor

Connect a LiteTrace Eco-Sensor to convert the controller into a full sensor-equipped fixture with local motion detection and daylight harvesting capabilities.

Option 2: Group Linkage Only

Leave the controller without a sensor but enable motion features and group linkage. The fixture responds to sensors in other fixtures within its group.

Enabling Sensor Features (With Eco-Sensor)

If you've connected an Eco-Sensor to the controller:

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Lights page.
  2. Long press on the sensor-ready controller.
  3. Tap the Sensor Settings icon.
  4. Enable Motion sensors toggle.
  5. Configure sensor parameters:
  6. T1 (first time delay)
  7. T2 (second time delay)
  8. Dim level
  9. Sensitivity
  10. If photosensor is connected, enable Daylight harvesting.
  11. Tap Save.

The controller now responds to the connected Eco-Sensor and operates identically to fixtures with built-in sensors.

Configuring for Group Linkage Only

If no sensor is connected but you want the fixture to respond to other sensors in a group:

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Lights page.
  2. Long press on the sensor-ready controller.
  3. Tap the Sensor Settings icon.
  4. Enable Motion sensors toggle.
  5. Disable Daylight harvesting (important—no photosensor connected).
  6. Configure T1, T2, and dim level as desired.
  7. Tap Save.
  8. Add the controller to a group with sensor-equipped fixtures (see Groups documentation).
  9. Enable linkage for that group.

The controller now responds to motion detected by other sensors in its group.

Important Configuration Rules

Daylight Harvesting Without Photosensor

Never enable daylight harvesting on a controller without a photosensor. Without proper sensor input, the fixture dims erratically and unpredictably.

Motion Must Be Enabled for Linkage

Even without a physical sensor attached, you must enable the motion sensors toggle for group linkage to work. The setting enables the firmware to respond to linkage commands from other fixtures.

Factory Reset Behavior

Sensor features disable automatically if you reset the controller to factory settings. After any factory reset, you must re-enable and reconfigure all sensor features.

Default Settings

Parameter Default Value
Motion OFF
Daylight harvesting OFF
T1 20 minutes
T2 1 minute
Dim Level 50%
Sensitivity 100%
Occupancy/Vacancy Occupancy
Linkage OFF

Configuration Comparison

Feature With Eco-Sensor Group Linkage Only
Local motion detection Yes No
Daylight harvesting Can enable (if photosensor) Must disable
Independent operation Yes No
Responds to group sensors Yes (if in group) Yes
T1/T2 timers Local control Follows group

Connecting Eco-Sensors

Physical Connection

  1. Power off the fixture.
  2. Locate the sensor connector on the controller.
  3. Connect the Eco-Sensor cable.
  4. Secure the connection.
  5. Power on the fixture.

After Connection

  1. Add the fixture to your zone (if not already added).
  2. Enable sensor features in the app.
  3. Configure parameters.
  4. Test sensor operation.

05 Groups

Creating and Managing Groups

Video Tutorial

Watch the companion video Chapter 5: How to Create and Modify Groups for a visual walkthrough of these steps.

Overview

Groups let you control multiple lights together as a single unit. Instead of adjusting each fixture individually, you can dim, configure, or schedule an entire group at once. Groups typically represent physical areas—a conference room, a hallway section, or an open office zone.

What Is a Group?

A group is a collection of lights that you want to control together. Groups provide:

  • Unified control: Adjust all lights in the group simultaneously
  • Consistent settings: Apply sensor parameters to all members at once
  • Scene integration: Include groups in scenes for preset configurations
  • Schedule support: Apply schedules to entire groups

Default Group

The app automatically provides a default group called All Lights that includes every light in your zone. This provides quick control over your entire installation.

Creating a Group

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Groups page.
  2. Tap the + button in the top left corner.
  3. Enter a descriptive name for your group (e.g., "Conference Room A" or "East Corridor").
  4. Tap OK to create the group.
  5. Select which lights belong to this group by tapping the checkbox on each light.
  6. Use the filter buttons to find lights:
  7. All: Shows every light in the zone
  8. Member: Shows lights already in this group
  9. Ungrouped: Shows lights not assigned to any group
  10. Tap Save when you've selected all the lights.

Your group is now created and ready to use.

Renaming a Group

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Groups page.
  2. Tap on the group you want to rename.
  3. Tap on the group name at the top of the screen.
  4. Enter the new name.
  5. Tap OK to save.

The group is renamed throughout the app immediately.

Deleting a Group

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Groups page.
  2. Find the group you want to delete.
  3. Swipe from right to left across the group's row.
  4. Tap the red Delete button.
  5. Confirm by tapping Delete again.

Note

Deleting a group does not delete the lights—they remain in your zone and can be added to other groups.

Group Capacity Limits

Item Limit
Groups per light 20 maximum
Lights per group No specific limit
Groups per zone No specific limit

Important

If you add a light to a 21st group, it will automatically exit from its first group.

See Also

For a complete breakdown of all platform capacity limits, see System Capacity Limits.

Naming Best Practices

Choose names that clearly identify the group's location or purpose:

Approach Examples
Location-based "Conference Room A", "East Wing Corridor"
Function-based "Reception Area", "Server Room"
Floor/zone "2nd Floor Open Office", "Zone 3"
Numbered "Classroom 101", "Office 205"

Good naming makes it easy to identify groups when creating scenes, schedules, and switch configurations.

  4. Find the lights you want to remove.
  5. Tap the checkbox to deselect them (checkmark disappears).
  6. Tap Save to confirm.

The lights are removed from the group. They will flash slowly three times to confirm the update was received.

Note

Removed lights remain in your zone—they're just no longer part of this group.

Filter Options

Filter Shows
All Every light in the zone
Member Lights currently in this group
Ungrouped Lights not assigned to any group

The Ungrouped filter is particularly helpful when adding new fixtures to your installation.

After Changing Membership

When you add or remove lights from a group, you should also update related configurations:

Configuration Why Update
Scenes New members need scene settings pushed to them
Schedules New members need schedule triggers
Switches Switch bindings may need updating
Area sensors Sensor associations may need updating
Linkage settings New members need linkage configuration

Tip: After adding lights to a group, save the group's scenes and switch configurations again to ensure new members receive all settings.

Multiple Group Membership

A single light can belong to up to 20 groups simultaneously.

Benefits of Multiple Membership

  • Enables advanced linkage scenarios
  • Allows overlapping control zones
  • Supports lights at boundaries between areas

Limitations

  • Adding to a 21st group removes the light from its first group
  • Can create complexity—use thoughtfully
  • May cause confusion if overused

Multiple Group Linkage

Overview

Linkage allows lights within a group to communicate with each other. When one sensor detects motion, other linked lights in the group can respond—typically at a reduced brightness level. This creates intelligent, coordinated lighting that follows occupants through a space while saving energy.

What Is Linkage?

Linkage enables lights in the same group to share motion status:

  • When one light's sensor detects motion, that light turns on at 100%
  • Other linked lights in the group turn on at the linkage light level (a reduced percentage)
  • This provides ambient light in adjacent areas without full brightness

Example

In an open office: 1. Person walks near Light A, triggering its sensor 2. Light A turns to 100% 3. Lights B, C, and D (linked in the same group) turn to 50% (linkage level) 4. As the person moves to Light B, it goes to 100%, and Light A eventually dims

Linkage and T2 Override

Linkage can override normal T2 behavior:

Scenario Behavior
Normal T2 After T1 expires, light dims to T2 dim level
With linkage If another light in group detects motion during T1, light dims to linkage level instead

This means linkage level takes precedence over T2 dim level when group activity is detected.

Enabling Linkage

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Groups page.
  2. Select the group you want to configure.
  3. Tap the Linkage button.
  4. Toggle linkage ON for this group.
  5. All member lights will now communicate motion status.

Important Requirement

For a light to respond to linkage commands, its motion sensor function must be enabled—even if no physical sensor is connected. This enables the firmware to receive and respond to linkage signals from other fixtures.

Adjusting Linkage Level

The linkage brightness level determines how bright linked lights become when triggered by other sensors.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Access the linkage settings for your group.
  2. Locate the linkage brightness slider.
  3. Drag to set the desired level:
  4. 100% = Linked lights turn fully on
  5. 50% = Linked lights dim to half brightness
  6. 30% = Linked lights provide low ambient level
  7. Tap Save Linkage Brightness to apply to all members.
Space Type Linkage Level Rationale
Open office 50% Balanced visibility and energy savings
Corridor 30-50% Wayfinding with efficiency
Classroom 80% Consistent learning environment
Warehouse 30% Maximum savings with safety coverage
Meeting room 80% Comfort during meetings
Storage room 30% Energy priority

Multiple Group Membership

A single light can belong to up to 20 groups. This enables sophisticated linkage scenarios.

Use Cases

  • Boundary lights: A light at the edge of two areas can respond to motion from either area
  • Overlapping zones: Create natural transitions between spaces
  • Flexible control: Different groups for different purposes (e.g., one for linkage, one for scenes)

Implementation

  1. Add the "boundary" light to both Group A and Group B
  2. Enable linkage for both groups
  3. The light responds to motion detected in either group
  4. Ensure the light is in a logical physical position (typically at the boundary)

Caution

  • Don't overuse multiple membership—it can create confusion
  • Document which lights belong to multiple groups
  • Test thoroughly to ensure expected behavior

Enabling Linkage: Complete Checklist

  • Create group with appropriate member lights
  • Enable motion sensors on all members (even those without physical sensors)
  • Enable linkage for the group
  • Set appropriate linkage level
  • Tap Save Linkage Brightness
  • Test by triggering one sensor and observing linked lights

Linkage Behavior Summary

Event Light A (motion detected) Other Linked Lights
Motion at Light A 100% working level Linkage level
T1 expires, no motion Enters T2 May dim to linkage or T2
Motion at Light B Linkage level Light B at 100%
No motion in group T2 → Off sequence T2 → Off sequence

Troubleshooting

Issue Possible Cause Solution
Linkage not working Motion not enabled Enable motion sensors on all members
Some lights don't respond Not in group Add lights to group
Linkage level wrong Settings not saved Save linkage brightness again
Unexpected behavior Multiple group conflict Review group memberships

Quick Reference

Action Steps
Enable linkage Groups → Select group → Linkage → Toggle ON
Set linkage level Linkage settings → Adjust slider → Save
Multiple groups Add light to both groups → Enable linkage on both

Activating Auto Mode for Groups

Overview

Auto mode puts your lights under sensor control—responding automatically to motion and ambient light conditions. This article explains how to enable Auto mode for groups, configure group-level daylight harvesting, and understand when to use automatic vs. manual control.

What Is Auto Mode?

When lights are in Auto mode:

  • Motion sensors turn lights on when people are present
  • Motion sensors turn lights off when T1/T2 timers expire
  • Daylight harvesting adjusts brightness based on natural light (if enabled)
  • Light levels are determined by sensors, not manual settings

Auto Mode Indicator

Lights in Auto mode display an "A" on their icon. This tells you at a glance that the light level is being automatically controlled.

Auto Mode vs. Manual Control

Aspect Auto Mode Manual Control
Light level Sensor-determined User-specified
Responds to motion Yes Returns to Auto after timers
Daylight harvesting Active (if enabled) Suspended
Energy savings Maximum Varies
Best for Daily operation Special events, presentations

When you manually adjust a light (via app, switch, or scene), it temporarily leaves Auto mode. It returns to Auto mode after the sensor timers expire or when you explicitly set it back to Auto.

Enabling Auto Mode for a Group

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Groups page.
  2. Find the group you want to configure.
  3. Tap the Auto button next to the group name.
  4. All lights in the group switch to Auto mode.
  5. Lights now respond to their sensors according to configured parameters.

Verifying Auto Mode

After enabling: - Member lights should display the "A" icon - Lights will respond to motion - Lights will dim/brighten based on daylight (if DLH enabled)

Configuring Group-Level Daylight Harvesting

If your group contains lights with photosensors, you can configure daylight harvesting for the entire group.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Groups page.
  2. Tap the Dimming button on your group.
  3. Tap the sensor icon in the bottom right corner.
  4. Enable Daylight harvesting.
  5. Select a strategy (Soft, Mild, Aggressive, or Custom).
  6. Tap Save to push settings to all members.

All photosensor-equipped lights in the group now use these DLH settings.

When to Use Auto Mode

Use Auto Mode For:

Scenario Benefit
Daily operation Maximum energy savings
Unoccupied periods Lights turn off automatically
Variable daylight DLH adjusts levels appropriately
Normal business hours Hands-free operation

Use Manual Control For:

Scenario Benefit
Presentations Maintain dim lighting regardless of motion
Special events Specific light levels required
Photography/video Controlled, consistent lighting
Cleaning/maintenance Full brightness without timers

Auto Mode Requirements

For Auto mode to function properly, ensure:

  • Motion sensors are enabled on fixtures
  • Sensor parameters are configured (T1, T2, dim level)
  • Daylight harvesting is configured (if using photosensors)
  • Auto calibration has been performed (for best results)

Troubleshooting Auto Mode

Issue Possible Cause Solution
Lights don't turn on with motion Motion sensors disabled Enable motion in sensor settings
No "A" icon appearing Not in Auto mode Tap Auto button again
DLH not adjusting Not calibrated Run auto calibration
Lights too dim Min dim set too low Increase DLH min dim setting
Lights not turning off T1/T2 set to Infinite Adjust timer settings

Tips for Effective Auto Mode

  1. Run auto calibration: Improves daylight harvesting accuracy
  2. Set appropriate timers: Match T1/T2 to space usage patterns
  3. Use linkage: Provides ambient light in adjacent areas
  4. Review periodically: Adjust settings as usage patterns change
  5. Document settings: Record configurations for each space type

Quick Reference

Action Steps
Enable Auto Mode Groups page → Auto button on group
Configure DLH Dimming → Sensor icon → DLH settings → Save
Verify Auto Mode Look for "A" icon on light icons

Associating Lights to Switches

Overview

After adding and configuring switches, you need to associate them with lights so users can control their lighting. This article explains how to connect switches to individual lights and test the associations.

Understanding Light Association

When you associate a light to a switch:

  • Pressing the On button turns the light on
  • Pressing the Off button turns the light off
  • Dim buttons adjust brightness
  • Scene buttons activate associated scenes

Single Light vs Groups

The system allows one individual light association per switch. You cannot associate multiple individual lights to the same switch.

Approach When to Use
Single light Control one specific fixture
Groups Control multiple fixtures together (required for more than one fixture)

For multiple fixtures, add them to a group, then bind that group to the switch (see Associating Scenes and Groups to Switches).

Associating a Light to a Switch

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Discover page, then tap Switches.
  2. Tap on the switch you want to configure.
  3. Tap the Settings button in the upper right corner.
  4. Select Lights to view available lights.
  5. All lights in your zone are displayed.
  6. Tap on the light you want to associate.
  7. The light is now connected to this switch.

After Light Selection

After selecting a light, you may be prompted to:

  • Select scenes (up to 3 scenes per scene button)
  • Configure additional options
  • Save the configuration

Testing Switch Associations

After associating lights, always test the switch:

Test Checklist

  • On button: Light turns on
  • Off button: Light turns off
  • Dim Up: Light brightens
  • Dim Down: Light dims
  • Scene button: Scenes activate (if configured)

Test from Multiple Positions

Walk around the room to verify the switch works reliably from different distances and angles.

Updating Associations

When you change a light's settings (sensor parameters, group membership, etc.):

  1. Open the switch settings
  2. Review the associations
  3. Save the switch settings again

This ensures the switch has current information about the light.

Association Guidelines

Scenario Recommendation
Control one fixture Associate single light
Control multiple fixtures Use groups; bind the group to the switch via Associating Scenes and Groups to Switches
Different levels for fixtures Use scenes; associate scenes to the switch as needed
Area-based control Associate groups

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
Light doesn't respond Not associated Complete association process
Wrong light responds Wrong selection Re-associate correct light
Dimming not working Button function Check button configuration
Intermittent response Range/mesh issues Check mesh connectivity

Quick Reference

Action Steps
Associate light Discover → Switches → Tap switch → Settings → Lights → Select light
Test association Press switch buttons, verify response
Update Re-save switch settings after light changes

  6. Select one group to associate with this switch.
  7. Tap Next Step to continue to scene selection.

Guidelines

  • Select only one group per switch for clear control
  • The switch controls all lights within that group
  • On/Off/Dim buttons affect the entire group

Associating Scenes to Switches

After associating a light or group, you can add scenes to the switch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. After selecting a light or group, the scene selection appears.
  2. Select up to three scenes to associate.
  3. Tap Save to confirm.

Scene Cycling Behavior

Press Action
First press Activates Scene 1
Second press Activates Scene 2
Third press Activates Scene 3
Fourth press Returns to Scene 1

Choosing Scenes

Select scenes that make sense to cycle through: - Full Brightness → Meeting Mode → Presentation Mode - Normal → Energy Save → Off - Warm → Neutral → Cool (for tunable fixtures)

Multi-Function Switch Configuration

8-key switches allow comprehensive control from one device.

Example Configuration

Button Function
1 On (Auto mode)
2 Off
3 Dim Up
4 Dim Down
5 Scene cycle (3 scenes)
6 Off with 30-minute delay
7 100% On
8 Custom / Reserved

This gives users: - Immediate on/off control - Dimming capability - Preset scene access - Scheduled shutoff option

Keeping Switches Synchronized

09 Templates

Understanding Templates

Overview

Templates are reusable configuration sets that capture your preferred settings for a particular type of space. They save time and ensure consistency when configuring multiple similar spaces in your lighting installation.

What Are Templates?

Templates allow you to define a standard configuration once, then apply it to multiple groups throughout your facility. Instead of manually configuring each conference room, classroom, or office individually, you create one template and apply it everywhere that configuration is needed.

Template Contents

A template can include:

Component Examples
Motion sensor parameters T1, T2, dim level, sensitivity, occupancy/vacancy mode
Daylight harvesting settings Strategy, minimum dim level, delay time, speed
Photocell thresholds ON/OFF light level values
Scene definitions Preset lighting configurations
Schedule settings Automated timing events

Where Templates Are Stored

Templates are stored locally on your mobile device. They are not synced to the cloud automatically. To share templates with others or use them on another device, you must export and import them.

When to Use Templates

Templates are most valuable when you have multiple spaces with identical requirements.

Ideal Use Cases

Scenario Benefit
20 identical conference rooms Configure once, apply 20 times
Building full of open offices Consistent DLH and sensor settings
School with multiple classrooms Uniform T1/T2 and lecture scenes
Warehouse with storage zones Standardized aggressive DLH
Multi-floor corridors Identical infinite T2 and linkage

Not Ideal For

  • One-of-a-kind spaces with unique requirements
  • Spaces that require significant individual customization
  • Quick, single-light adjustments

Benefits of Using Templates

Time Savings

Configure settings once, apply many times. A configuration that might take hours of repetitive work becomes minutes with templates.

Consistency

Every similar space receives exactly the same settings. No variations due to manual entry errors or forgotten parameters.

Standardization

Templates enforce your organization's lighting standards across all installations and commissioning agents.

Portability

Export templates to share with team members or use across multiple projects. Onboard new technicians with your standard configurations.

How Templates Work

  1. Create a template with your desired settings
  2. Save the template locally on your device
  3. Apply the template to groups that need those settings
  4. The app sends all parameters to each light in the group
  5. Any scenes and schedules defined in the template are created

Important: "Skip" Option

Each parameter in a template can be set to a specific value or marked as "Skip." When set to Skip, that parameter is left unchanged when the template is applied. This allows you to standardize some settings while leaving others at their existing values.

Platform Availability

Template features are currently available on:

  • Keilton+autani iOS App
  • Keilton+autani Pro App

Check your app version if template options are not visible.

Sensor Parameter Compatibility

Not all parameters apply to all sensor types. When a template is applied:

  • Parameters are sent to all lights
  • Each sensor ignores parameters that don't apply to its type
  • Example: Photocell thresholds are ignored by lights without photocells
  • Example: Daylight harvesting settings are ignored by motion-only sensors

Understanding "Skip"

When a parameter is set to Skip, that setting is not changed when the template is applied. Use Skip to:

  • Preserve existing settings for certain parameters
  • Apply only specific settings while leaving others alone
  • Create focused templates for particular features

Adding Scenes to Templates

Templates can include pre-defined scenes:

  1. In the template editor, tap Add Scene.
  2. Configure the scene name and settings.
  3. Define light levels for the scene.
  4. Save the scene.

When the template is applied to a group, these scenes are created automatically for that group.

Adding Schedules to Templates

Templates can include automated schedules:

  1. In the template editor, tap Add Schedule.
  2. Configure schedule name, timing, and actions.
  3. Define what happens when the schedule triggers.
  4. Save the schedule.

When the template is applied, these schedules are created for the group.

Updating an Existing Template

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. On the template management page, tap the template you want to edit.
  2. The template opens for editing.
  3. Modify any parameters as needed.
  4. Add or remove scenes and schedules.
  5. Update the name if appropriate.
  6. Tap Save to store your changes.

Important Note

Updating a template does not automatically update devices that already had the template applied. To push new settings, you must reapply the template to each group.

Deleting a Template

  1. On the template management page, locate the template to delete.
  2. Swipe left on the template row.
  3. Tap the Delete button.
  4. Confirm deletion.

Deleted templates cannot be recovered. Consider exporting important templates as backup before deleting.

Naming Best Practices

Approach Example
Space type + key feature "Conference Room DLH Soft"
Function + timer "Classroom 30min T1"
Location standard "Building A Standard"
Version number "Open Office v2.1"

Good names help you quickly identify the right template and document what it contains.

Best Practices

  1. Test before rollout: Apply template to one group first, verify settings, then deploy widely.
  2. Document your templates: Keep a record of what each template contains and where it's applied.
  3. Use Skip strategically: Only configure settings you want to standardize.
  4. Version your templates: When updating, consider creating a new version rather than overwriting.
  5. Export regularly: Back up important templates by exporting them.

  • Less prone to false triggers from air movement
  • May miss small movements

Ultrasonic

  • Emits sound waves and detects motion
  • Detects small movements (typing, writing)
  • Wider coverage area
  • More sensitive to air movement

Combined Benefits

  • Reduced false triggers
  • Comprehensive coverage
  • Configurable trigger/hold logic

A0 vs B1 Series

The CS107D comes in two series with different capabilities:

Feature CS107D.A0 CS107D.B1
Voltage Low voltage 120-277VAC line voltage

Ultrasonic Sensitivity Detection range for motion-based sensing (Low/Med/High)

Trigger and Hold Settings

Configure how motion activates and maintains lights:

Option Triggered By Hold On By Best For
PIR PIR only PIR only Reducing false triggers from air
Ultrasonic Ultrasonic only Ultrasonic only Detecting small movements
PIR + Ultrasonic Both required Both required Maximum false trigger reduction
PIR or Ultrasonic Either Either Maximum coverage sensitivity
None Manual only N/A Vacancy mode operation
  1. Tap Save to apply settings.

B1 Series Additional Settings

The CS107D.B1 offers additional configuration:

Setting Description
T1 First time delay (full brightness)
T2 Second time delay (warning phase)
Dim Level Brightness during T2
Daylight Harvesting Automatic dimming based on ambient light
Manual OFF Override Override behavior after manual off

These settings work similarly to integrated fixture sensors.

Choosing Trigger/Hold Modes

PIR Only

  • Use when: Air movement causes false triggers
  • Behavior: Only body heat activates/maintains lights
  • Trade-off: May miss small seated movements

Ultrasonic Only

  • Use when: Detecting small movements is critical
  • Behavior: Sound wave detection activates/maintains lights
  • Trade-off: More sensitive to HVAC air movement

PIR + Ultrasonic (Both Required)

  • Use when: False triggers are a major problem
  • Behavior: Both technologies must detect motion
  • Trade-off: May be slow to respond

PIR or Ultrasonic (Either Works)

  • Use when: Maximum coverage is needed
  • Behavior: Either technology activates/maintains lights
  • Trade-off: More potential for false triggers

After Configuration

After binding the sensor to a group:

  1. Navigate to the Groups page.
  2. Enable Linkage for the associated group.
  3. If linkage was already enabled, disable and re-enable it.

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
False triggers Ultrasonic too sensitive Switch to PIR only or reduce sensitivity
Missing small movements PIR only mode Add ultrasonic to trigger/hold
Slow response Both required mode Switch to "PIR or Ultrasonic"
No response Sensitivity too low Increase sensitivity

12 Auto Mode

Auto Mode Calibration

Overview

Auto mode lets sensors control your light levels automatically. For optimal performance, calibration teaches the system how to maintain comfortable light levels while accounting for daylight. This article covers both auto calibration and manual setting methods.

Why Calibrate?

When daylight enters a space, the photosensor sees ambient light plus fixture light combined. Without calibration, the sensor cannot distinguish between them, leading to incorrect dimming decisions.

Benefits of Calibration

  • Removes ambient light interference
  • Provides precise daylight harvesting
  • Maintains desired light level on work surfaces
  • Maximizes energy savings

Working Light Level

The Working Light Level is the brightness your lights maintain when: - Auto mode is active - Motion is detected - Calibration determines this level

Calibration Methods

Method Description Best For
Auto Calibration Self-learning process with light cycling Standard installations
Manual Setting Direct level configuration Problem situations, night-only setup

Auto Calibration

Auto calibration is the recommended method. The system runs a self-learning process where lights cycle on and off to measure the environment.

Running Auto Calibration

  1. Navigate to More → Auto Calibration.
  2. Select a group to calibrate.
  3. Adjust calibration parameters as desired.
  4. Tap Start.
  5. Lights will cycle on/off 4-8 times.
  6. Do not interfere with lights during this process.
  7. Wait for completion prompt.

What Happens During Calibration

Phase Description
Start Calibration begins
Cycling Lights turn on/off 4-8 times
Measuring Sensors read environment
Learning System calculates baseline
Complete Returns to auto mode

Success and Failure

Outcome Indication
Success Lights return to auto mode, turn on normally
Failure Lights flash rapidly 10 times

Calibration Failure Causes

Cause Solution
Excessive daylight Calibrate at night or low-light
Changing ambient light Ensure stable conditions
Sensor installation issues Check sensor positioning
Sensor blocked Clear obstructions

Manual Setting

Use manual setting when auto calibration fails or isn't practical.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Exclude ambient light by:
  2. Configuring at night, OR
  3. Blocking all sunlight from the space
  4. Navigate to the Lights page.
  5. Long press on a sensor-equipped light.
  6. Adjust brightness and color temperature to desired working level.
  7. Tap the Auto button in lower right.
  8. Confirmation appears that auto mode level is updated.

Critical Requirement

For manual setting, you must exclude ambient light. Otherwise, the sensor reading includes daylight, leading to incorrect auto levels.

Auto vs Manual Comparison

Factor Auto Calibration Manual Setting
Accuracy Higher (self-learning) Depends on light exclusion
Convenience Requires cycling time Quick but needs darkness
Ambient light Accounts automatically Must exclude manually
Best for Standard installations Night-only setup, troubleshooting

Best Practices

Practice Benefit
Test with one fixture first Find optimal parameters
Calibrate similar spaces together Consistent results
Verify after calibration Confirm expected behavior
Recalibrate seasonally Account for changing daylight

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
Repeated failures Environmental conditions Try manual setting
Incorrect light levels Poor calibration Recalibrate under better conditions
Dimming too much Auto point set too low Increase target level
Not dimming enough Auto point set too high Decrease target level

Trim Settings (High and Low End)

Overview

Trim settings define the operating range of your lights. High-end trim limits maximum output, low-end trim sets the minimum dimming level, and daylight harvesting minimum dim controls how low sensors can automatically dim. Understanding how each setting behaves in the app is essential for effective configuration.

Understanding Trim Behavior

High-End Trim: The Invisible Ceiling

High-end trim operates as a hidden maximum cap that doesn't display in the UI once set.

What You Set What UI Shows Actual Output
High-end trim: 80% — —
Later set light to 100% 100% 80%
Later set light to 50% 50% 40%

Key behavior: Users believe they're at "full brightness" when requesting 100%, but the system silently caps output at the trim level. This is intentional—occupants maintain full control without feeling restricted, while the facility benefits from reduced energy consumption.

Benefits: - Reduces energy consumption without user awareness - Extends fixture and driver life - Matches light output to space requirements - Users retain sense of full control

Low-End Trim: The Visible Floor

Low-end trim actively enforces and displays the minimum level in the UI.

What You Set What User Requests What UI Shows Actual Output
Low-end trim: 10% — — —
— 7% 10% 10%
— 15% 15% 15%

Key behavior: The UI "snaps" to the low-end trim value when a user attempts to go below it, providing clear feedback that they've reached the minimum.

Benefits: - Prevents flickering at low levels - Maintains minimum safety lighting - Improves dimming quality on some drivers - Provides clear user feedback

Daylight Harvesting Min Dim

The lowest level daylight harvesting can dim to in auto mode.

Setting Effect
= Low trim Uses low-end trim value
20% Won't dim below 20% in auto mode
30% Won't dim below 30% in auto mode

Controller Voltage Behavior (0-10V Protocol)

For compatibility with control systems, the controller maintains a minimum voltage output:

User Request Controller Output UI Display
6% ~0.6V 6%
5% 0.6V (floor) 5%
3% 0.6V (floor) 3%
1% 0.6V (floor) 1%

What this means: Below 6%, the controller maintains a 0.6V minimum for hardware stability, but the UI continues to show the user's requested value. This creates a small discrepancy zone where displayed percentage doesn't match actual voltage output.

Trim Behavior Comparison

Characteristic High-End Trim Low-End Trim
Visibility in UI Hidden after setting Actively displayed
User awareness Users don't see the cap Users see the enforced floor
When 100% is requested Shows 100%, outputs trim value N/A
When below minimum requested N/A UI snaps to trim value
Primary purpose Silent energy savings Prevent accidental off/instability
Recommended setting Based on space needs (60-80% typical) and fixture output

Accessing Trim Settings

  1. Navigate to More page.
  2. Tap Trim Settings.
  3. Select Lights or Groups tab.
  4. Choose specific lights or groups to adjust.

Setting High-End Trim

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Select the light or group.
  2. Adjust the high-end trim slider.
  3. Tap Send to apply.
Application High-End Trim
Aggressive energy savings 60-70%
Standard energy savings 70-80%
Moderate savings 80-90%
No limitation 100%

Important: Update Wattage

Always set trim before entering the full fixture wattage. This will cause the app to recalculate effective maximum wattage based on the high-end trim derating.

Setting Low-End Trim

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Select the light or group.
  2. Adjust the low-end trim slider.
  3. Tap Send to apply.

If a fixture turns off when you dim below a certain threshold, set the minimum dim level above this level so that users don't turn the light off when they are trying to dim to the lowest value.

Scenario Low-End Trim
Smooth-dimming drivers (tested) 1% or Leave Unset
Standard installations 6%-10% based on fixture testing
Flicker prevention 15-20%
Safety minimum required 20%+

Setting DLH Minimum Dim

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Select the light or group.
  2. Adjust the daylight min dim slider.
  3. Tap Send to apply.

Important Notes

Note Details
High trim invisible Once set, high-end trim doesn't display—UI shows requested value, not actual output
Low trim visible UI actively shows and enforces low-end trim minimum
Display values Trim Settings page shows what you're sending, not current fixture values
Apply required Must tap "Send" for changes to take effect
Wattage update Update rated wattage after high-end trim for accurate energy data
11% recommended Use 11% low-end trim to prevent accidental off states

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
Lights turning off when dimming low Low-end trim at 10% Increase to 11%
Lights not dimming low enough Low-end trim too high Lower the low-end trim (test first)
Lights flickering at low levels Low-end trim too low for driver Increase low-end trim to 15-20%
Expecting brighter output High-end trim limiting output Check/adjust high-end trim
DLH not dimming as expected Min dim too high Lower DLH min dim
Energy data inaccurate Wattage not updated after high trim Update rated wattage

15 Troubleshooting

Restoring Factory Settings

Video Tutorial

Watch the companion video Chapter 11: How to Restore Factory Settings for a visual walkthrough of these steps.

Overview

Factory reset returns fixtures to their original out-of-box state, clearing all settings and network connections. There are two methods: deleting from the app (easiest) and power reset sequence (when app access unavailable).

When to Reset

Scenario Reason
Recommissioning Moving fixture to different zone
Troubleshooting Clearing persistent issues
Control transfer New system taking over
Configuration errors Starting fresh
Decommissioning Removing from service

What Gets Cleared

Setting Cleared
Sensor parameters ✓
Group memberships ✓
Scene associations ✓
Schedule assignments ✓
Network connection ✓
Trim settings ✓
Auto calibration ✓
Switch bindings ✓

Method 1: Delete from App

Use when: Lights are connected to the app

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to Lights page.
  2. Tap the minus (-) button in upper right.
  3. Select lights to reset by tapping checkboxes.
  4. (Optional) Tap All to select all lights.
  5. Tap Delete in lower right corner.
  6. Confirm by tapping Delete in dialog.
  7. Lights flash slowly 3 times to confirm reset.

Success Indication

Slow flash 3 times = Successful reset

Method 2: Power Reset Sequence

Use when: Lights not connected to app, or app unavailable

Prerequisites

  • Physical access to power circuit
  • Ability to control power on/off
  • Timer or watch for accurate timing

Reset Sequence

Follow these steps in order. The numbered substeps (1a, 1b, 2a–2c, etc.) replace the older 0/1/1/2 numbering so the full sequence is easier to follow.

Step Action Duration
— Confirm lights are OFF —
1a Turn ON 8 seconds
1b Turn OFF 10 seconds
2a Turn ON briefly, then OFF 10 seconds OFF (1st cycle)
2b Turn ON briefly, then OFF 10 seconds OFF (2nd cycle)
2c Turn ON briefly, then OFF 10 seconds OFF (3rd cycle)
3a Turn ON 8 seconds
3b Turn OFF 10 seconds
4a Turn ON 8 seconds
4b Turn OFF 10 seconds
Final Turn ON Leave on — reset completes

Success Indication

Lights blink after the final Turn ON = successful reset

Detailed Sequence

OFF (start)
→ ON 8s → OFF 10s
→ ON brief → OFF 10s (repeat 3x)
→ ON 8s → OFF 10s (repeat 2x)
→ ON (done - lights should blink)

Timing Considerations

Driver Type OFF Duration
Standard drivers 10 seconds
Fast power-off drivers 3 seconds minimum
Unknown Use 10 seconds (safe)

Why timing matters: The OFF duration ensures fixtures completely power down. Using too short a duration may cause the sequence to fail.

Method 3: FL30 Flashlight Reset

Use when: Feature is enabled and fixture has photosensor

  1. Set FL30 to strobe mode
  2. Point at fixture photosensor
  3. Hold for 6 seconds
  4. Light flashes to confirm reset

See Flashlight Reset Configuration for details.

After Reset

Once reset is complete:

  • Fixture is in factory default state
  • Ready for fresh commissioning
  • Will appear as "factory setting" in Nearby Lights
  • All previous configurations cleared

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
No flash after delete Light offline Use power reset
Power reset not working Timing incorrect Use longer OFF intervals
Can't delete from app Light not connected Use power reset
Reset didn't clear settings Incomplete sequence Repeat power reset

Quick Reference

Method Steps
Delete from app Lights → - → Select → Delete → Confirm
Power reset ON 8s, OFF 10s, (ON/OFF 10s)×3, (ON 8s/OFF 10s)×2, ON
FL30 reset Strobe mode → Point at sensor → 6 seconds
