Cautions & Safety

Overview

Please review these cautions before commissioning or servicing a Keilton+autani system.

Electrical Safety

  • Only qualified electricians should install or modify electrical connections.
  • Disconnect power before installing or servicing devices.
  • Follow all local electrical codes and regulations.

1. Use only one mobile device during commissioning

Do not use more than one mobile device during the commissioning process. Using multiple devices at once may cause unexpected results such as data corruption or duplicate light addresses.

2. Sync commissioning data before sharing a QR code

Zone access is shared by sharing its QR code — but only after the commissioning data has synced to the cloud.

  • The app syncs automatically in the background whenever a zone is updated (this requires an internet connection via Wi-Fi or cellular data).
  • If you had a good connection during commissioning, you can share the QR code as soon as commissioning is complete.
  • If your connection was poor or offline, you'll see an error prompt on the More page. You can keep commissioning, but you must Force Sync (More page) once you have a good connection.

Do not share before syncing

Do not share a zone's QR code with others until the data has successfully synced to the cloud — otherwise they may receive incomplete or outdated commissioning data. Tip: on a poor connection, turn off Wi-Fi (or use Airplane Mode) to commission, then sync later when a good connection is available.

3. Keep firmware up to date

Continuous product improvements may require a firmware update to keep devices compatible with others in a zone. If you experience connectivity or feature issues, use the Spiral Engineering app (iOS) to check for and apply firmware updates.

See Spiral Engineering — Firmware Upgrade.

Getting Started & System Overview

Video Tutorial

Watch the companion video Chapter 1: Getting Started and App Navigation for a visual walkthrough of these steps.

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 — Security capabilities verification, an industry benchmark for secure connected lighting
  • 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

Planning & Sequences of Operations

Overview

Before purchasing and installing a networked lighting control (NLC) system, facility managers and designers should define the owner's requirements and control goals in two design documents: a Control Intent Narrative (CIN) and Sequences of Operations (SOO).

These capture facility and space purposes, operating schedules, applicable codes and standards, integrations, project goals, and preferred vendors. They can start high-level and be refined over time.

Industry standards

Two ANSI/IES standards help structure the CIN and SOO:

  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.

Minimum contents

At a minimum, the CIN and SOO should include:

  • A floor plan and the function of each zone.
  • Each light's model number, quantity, parameters, and position.

  • Zone definitions. Divide the site into zones by lighting function. Keep each zone to:

    • No more than 100 devices.
    • A radius of less than ~150 feet, ideally under 9,000 sq ft.
    • Line-of-sight where possible — avoid concrete walls or large metal objects that block wireless signals.

  • Groups and scenes — group number/name, scene number/name, and an approximate scene design per zone.

  • Switches — switch type and quantity, plus the function of each button, per zone.

Start from typical settings

Once zones are defined, see Recommended Settings by Space Type for typical starting-point parameters, then tune to your SOO.

Compliance & Certifications

The Keilton+autani platform is built to meet industry standards for safety, performance, and interoperability. Our networked lighting controls achieved UL 1376 security certification, an industry benchmark for secure connected lighting, and Keilton was among the first systems listed to DLC's Networked Lighting Controls (NLC5).

Certifications: UL Security Capabilities Verified (Gold) · DLC Listed (NLC5) · cULus Listed · Bluetooth® · LT24 Compliant · RoHS Compliant · FCC · TAA Compliant

TAA compliance supports U.S. federal and government procurement requirements.

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.

Saving and Sharing QR Codes

Overview

Once you've created zones, you'll want to save and share the associated QR codes. This article covers how to save QR codes to your phone, share them with team members, restore zone access on a new device, and export commission reports.

Saving QR Codes to Your Photo Library

Saving QR codes to your phone ensures you have a backup and makes sharing easier.

Prerequisites

Before saving QR codes, ensure the app has permission to access your photos: - iOS: Settings → Keilton → Photos → Allow access - Android: Settings → Apps → Keilton → Permissions → Storage/Photos

Steps to Save

  1. Navigate to More → My Zones.
  2. Select the zone whose QR code you want to save.
  3. Tap the Save button located beneath the zone name.
  4. The QR code saves automatically to a folder called MyQRCode in your photo album.

You can save both Admin and User QR codes. Repeat the process for each code type you need to save.

Tip: Save both Admin and User codes for each zone as a backup. Consider emailing copies to yourself for additional security.

Sharing QR Codes

There are two primary methods for sharing QR codes with others.

Method 1: Direct Scanning

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
(EFS106-BH4-W, EFS106-Z10-W, EFS106-AUX-W)		 PPA102S
Motion ON OFF ON OFF

Low end trim 1% or 10% (depends on product) 1% or 10% (depends on product) 1% or 10% (depends on product) 1% or 10% (depends on product)
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)
PIR sensitivity High High High
Ultrasonic sensitivity Middle Middle N/A
Occupancy / Vacancy N/A N/A Occupancy
Triggered by PIR PIR or Ultrasonic N/A
Hold on by Ultrasonic PIR or Ultrasonic N/A
Hold time 30 min N/A N/A
Photocell ON (100 lux) N/A N/A
T1 N/A 20 min 20 min
T2 N/A 1 min 1 min
Manual off override N/A Infinite Infinite
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%

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.

Two Ways to Daylight Harvest a Room

There are two distinct ways to daylight harvest a single room. Use one approach or the other — do not run both in the same group, or the sensors will conflict and produce erratic dimming.

Option 1 — Per-Fixture (LLLC Sensors)

Each fixture that has its own integrated LLLC (luminaire-level lighting control) photosensor measures the light at its own location and dims itself individually. Fixtures near a window dim more than those deeper in the room, giving the finest-grained response.

  • Use when: your fixtures have integrated photosensors and you want each light to react to the daylight at its own position.
  • How: enable daylight harvesting on each photosensor-equipped fixture (see Enabling Daylight Harvesting below).

Option 2 — Group-Wide (Area Sensor)

A single ceiling/area sensor — CS107S, CS107D, or BCS107 — measures the ambient light for the room and performs daylight harvesting for every light in the group mapped to that sensor. The entire group dims together from one reading.

  • Use when: your fixtures do not have their own photosensors, or you want one uniform dimming response across the whole room.
  • Required: When you use an area sensor for group daylight harvesting, you must disable daylight harvesting on every other device in the group — leave only the single area sensor performing daylight harvesting. If more than one device in the group has daylight harvesting enabled, they will fight each other and dimming will be erratic.

Note

Daylight-harvesting support on area sensors is version-specific — see the device's own help article (CS107S, CS107D, BCS107) to confirm the model you have supports it.

Enabling Daylight Harvesting — Per-Fixture (LLLC Sensors)

This is the setup path for Option 1 above — each fixture harvests daylight individually using its own integrated photosensor.

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.

Repeat for each photosensor-equipped fixture in the space.

Enabling Daylight Harvesting — Group-Wide (Area Sensor)

This is the setup path for Option 2 above — a single area sensor harvests daylight for the whole group.

Configure daylight harvesting on the area sensor itself (not on each light), then bind the sensor to the light group. See the device's own help article for the full procedure:

Required: Disable daylight harvesting on every other device in the group — leave only the single area sensor performing it. Multiple daylight-harvesting sensors in one group conflict and cause erratic dimming.

The three pre-defined strategies (and the Custom option) described below apply to both setup paths.

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.

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
Erratic dimming Daylight harvesting enabled without photosensor Disable daylight harvesting
No response to motion Motion sensors not enabled Enable motion sensors toggle
Linkage not working Not added to group Add to group; enable linkage
Settings lost Factory reset performed Re-enable and reconfigure
Sensor not detected Poor connection Check physical connection

Quick Reference

Configuration Steps
With Eco-Sensor Connect sensor → Enable motion → Configure parameters → Save
Group linkage only Enable motion → Disable daylight harvesting → Add to group → Enable linkage

Recommended Settings by Space Type

Use these as starting points when configuring sensors, dimming, and controls for common commercial spaces, then fine-tune to the project's requirements.

Starting points, not a substitute for design

These values are typical recommendations. Always follow the project's Control Intent Narrative and Sequence of Operations and the applicable local energy code (e.g., ASHRAE 90.1, Title 24).

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.

Adding and Removing Lights in Groups

Overview

As your installation evolves, you'll need to adjust group membership—adding new lights or removing ones that no longer belong. This article explains how to view, add, and remove lights from groups.

Viewing Group Membership

From the Groups Page

  1. Navigate to the Groups page.
  2. The number of member lights is displayed below each group name.
  3. Tap on a group to see more details.
  4. Tap the arrow to expand and see member lights, or tap Members to access the membership editor.

Adding Lights to a Group

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Groups page.
  2. Tap on the group you want to modify.
  3. Tap the Members button.
  4. The selection screen shows all lights in your zone.
  5. Lights already in the group have checkmarks.
  6. Tap the checkbox on any light you want to add to the group.
  7. Use filters to find lights easily:
  8. All: Every light in the zone
  9. Member: Lights already in this group
  10. Ungrouped: Lights not in any group
  11. Tap Save when finished.

The new lights are now part of the group.

Removing Lights from a Group

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Groups page.
  2. Tap on the group you want to modify.
  3. Tap the Members button.
  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

Flash Indications

Action Light Behavior
Added to group Slow flash 3 times
Removed from group Slow flash 3 times

If you don't see the flash, the light may not have received the update. Try again or verify the light is online.

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

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
Return to Auto Groups page → Auto button (after manual control)

See Also

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

Adding a Switch

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Discover page.
  2. Tap Switches.
  3. Tap the + button in the upper left corner, or tap Click to add.
  4. The app begins searching for switches in pairing mode.
  5. Put your switch into pairing mode (see below).
  6. When the switch appears in the app, tap to add it.
  7. The switch is added to your zone.

Putting Switches in Pairing Mode — button combinations by model

Every switch is put into pairing mode with a two-button press-and-hold. The combination and the hold time differ by model, so use the table below rather than guessing.

The same combination usually factory-resets the switch

On most models this one combination does both jobs: it puts a new switch into pairing mode, and it clears the pairing on a switch that is already commissioned. Use it to add a switch, and use it again to recover a switch that was previously paired to another zone or app.

The combination follows the button layout, not the power source. Battery, photovoltaic, and line-voltage versions of the same switch use the same buttons and the same hold time — so find your switch's key count below and every variant in that row behaves identically.

Button layout Models Press and hold Hold for
3-key — ON/OFF, ▲, ▼ WP1013 · WP1013A · WP1013S ON/OFF + ▲ (Dim Up) 3 seconds
5-key — Auto, ▲, ▼, power, Scene WP1025 · WP1025A Auto + ▲ (Dim Up) 2 seconds
5-key scene controller — ▲, ▼, ON/OFF, Auto, Scene WP1015S Auto + ▲ 2 seconds
7-key — SCN1–SCN4, ▲, ▼, power WP1017S ▲ (Dim Up) + ▼ (Dim Down) 3 seconds
8-key — 1–4, DIM +, DIM −, ON, OFF WP1018 · WP1018A · WP1018E · WP1018S DIM + + ON 2 seconds

Identifying your model

Model Keys Power source
WP1013 3 CR2032 battery
WP1013A 3 2 × AAA battery
WP1013S 3 Line voltage, AC 120–277 V
WP1015S 5 Photovoltaic, with battery backup
WP1017S 7 Line voltage, AC 120–277 V
WP1018 8 CR2032 battery
WP1018A 8 2 × AAA battery
WP1018E 8 CR2032 battery — Euro design
WP1018S 8 Line voltage, AC 120–277 V
WP1025 5 CR2032 battery
WP1025A 5 2 × AAA battery

Notes

  • 7-key (WP1017S) — the two buttons are the ▲ / ▼ dimming pair directly beneath the four scene buttons (SCN1–SCN4), not the scene buttons themselves. Older documentation refers to these as "buttons 5 and 6."
  • WP1018 family — the combination is documented as entering pairing mode; on a commissioned switch it also clears the existing pairing.
  • WF20R — this is a plug load controller, not a wall switch. It resets with a single button held for 6 seconds, and the relay clicks to confirm. See Plug Load Controllers.

Pairing Indicators

  • Blue LED flashes: Switch is in pairing mode
  • Timeout: Pairing mode ends automatically after 30 seconds
  • Cancel: Pressing any button exits pairing mode early
  • Zone: A switch is added to the zone you are currently in, so make sure the correct zone is selected before you pair

Renaming a Switch

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

Associating Scenes and Groups to Switches

Overview

For the most powerful switch control, associate scenes and groups instead of individual lights. This allows users to control multiple lights with one button and activate preset configurations instantly.

Associating Groups to Switches

Associating a group allows one switch to control multiple lights together.

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 Groups to view available groups.
  5. All groups in your zone are displayed.
  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

Creating Scenes

Video Tutorial

Watch the companion video Chapter 6: How to Create Scenes for a visual walkthrough of these steps.

Overview

Scenes let you save preset lighting configurations that can be activated with a single tap. Whether it's a presentation mode, full brightness for cleaning, or a relaxed ambiance, scenes make it easy to switch between lighting setups instantly.

What Is a Scene?

A scene is a saved snapshot of light settings—brightness levels, color temperatures, and on/off states for selected lights or groups. When you activate a scene, all included lights immediately switch to their saved levels.

Default Scenes

The app provides three default scenes:

Scene Function
All Off Turns all lights off
Full Light Sets all lights to maximum brightness
Auto Light Returns lights to automatic sensor control

Custom Scenes

You can create custom scenes for any purpose: - Presentation: Dims front lights, brightens screen area - Meeting: Balanced lighting throughout room - Cleaning: Full brightness, cool white - After Hours: Minimal illumination for security

Creating a New Scene

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Scenes page.
  2. Tap the + button in the upper left corner.
  3. Enter a descriptive name for your scene (e.g., "Presentation Mode").
  4. Tap OK to create the scene.
  5. Select an icon to represent your scene.
  6. At the bottom of the editor, choose Lights, Groups, or CS107D/S sensors to include.
  7. Tap on lights or groups to select them for this scene.
  8. Long press on any light or group to set its level.
  9. Adjust brightness, color temperature, or other settings.
  10. Repeat for all lights/groups in the scene.
  11. Tap Save to store your scene.

Setting Light Levels in a Scene

Each light or group in a scene can have different settings:

08 Schedules

Creating Schedules

Video Tutorial

Watch the companion video Chapter 9: How to Add and Configure a Schedule for a visual walkthrough of these steps.

Overview

Schedules automate your lighting based on time. Turn lights on before staff arrive, dim during lunch hours, or ensure everything is off at night—all without manual intervention.

What Is a Schedule?

A schedule is a timed automation that triggers a lighting action at a specified time. The system automatically executes your command:

  • Turn lights on or off
  • Set a specific dim level
  • Activate a scene
  • Return to auto mode

Schedule Capacity

Each zone supports up to 32 schedules.

Setting Schedule Date, Time, and Repeat

Overview

After creating a schedule and associating it with lights, groups, or scenes, you need to configure when it runs. This article covers setting the time, creating one-time schedules, and configuring repeating schedules.

Accessing Time Settings

  1. On the schedule editing page, tap Set time.
  2. The time configuration page opens.

Setting the Time

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Use the time picker to select hours and minutes.
  2. Choose AM or PM.

Time Accuracy

For reliable schedule execution:

  • Install a CR01 or CR02-W dongle for real-time clock functionality — either one provides a battery-backed clock that keeps time through a power outage
  • Ensure the app syncs with the zone periodically
  • Without an RTC dongle, schedules depend on the mesh network's time reference

Which dongle?

All three carry a battery-backed real-time clock. Choose on the other capabilities:

  • CR01-ETC — Energy Monitoring and Real-Time Clock. Choose this if you also want energy reporting.
  • CR01-RTC — Real-Time Clock only. The lower-cost choice when you need accurate scheduling and nothing else.
  • CR02-W — Long-Range RTC, IP65 outdoor, and adds astronomical sunrise/sunset scheduling. Choose this for outdoor sites or solar-time schedules.

See Energy-Monitoring & RTC Dongles.

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

Min Dim Percentage or Skip Lowest DLH level
Delay Time Seconds or Skip Wait before dimming
Speed Value or Skip Dimming rate

Photocell Settings

Parameter Options Notes
ON Threshold FC value or Skip Turn-on light level
OFF Threshold FC value or Skip Turn-off light level

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.

Applying Templates to Lights

Overview

Templates are applied to groups, not individual lights. When you apply a template, all sensor parameters are sent to each light in the group, and any scenes or schedules defined in the template are created for that group.

Before You Begin

Ensure the following before applying a template:

  • Group has been created with member lights
  • Template has been created with desired settings
  • Lights in the group are online and connected

Applying a Template

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Groups page.
  2. Locate the group you want to configure.
  3. Tap the template button (document icon) on the group.
  4. A list of saved templates appears.
  5. Tap to select the template you want to apply.
  6. Tap Apply settings.
  7. Monitor the progress log as settings are sent.
  8. If any lights fail, tap Apply settings again to retry.

Understanding the Progress Log

When you apply a template, the app displays a progress log showing:

Indicator Meaning
Configuration being sent Each parameter being pushed
Success marker Light received settings
Failure marker Light did not receive settings
Completion message Process finished

Handling Failures

If some lights fail to receive settings:

  1. Note which lights failed in the log
  2. Tap Apply settings again to retry
  3. If failures persist, check mesh connectivity
  4. Move closer to failed lights and retry
  5. Verify lights are online

What Gets Applied

When you apply a template to a group:

Sensor Parameters

All sensor settings configured in the template are sent to each light in the group: - T1, T2, dim level, sensitivity - Occupancy/vacancy mode - Daylight harvesting settings - Photocell thresholds

Scenes

Any scenes defined in the template are created as new scenes for the group. These appear on the Scenes page.

Schedules

Any schedules defined in the template are created for the group. These appear in More → Schedule.

Parameter Application Behavior

Template Setting Result
Specific value Applied to all lights in group
Skip Setting left unchanged
Scene definition New scene created for group
Schedule definition New schedule created for group

Verifying Settings

After applying a template, verify that settings took effect:

Verify Sensor Settings

  1. Navigate to the Lights page.
  2. Long press on a light from the group.
  3. Tap the Sensor Settings icon.
  4. Confirm T1, T2, dim level, and other parameters match the template.
  5. Check multiple lights to ensure consistency.

Verify Scenes

  1. Navigate to the Scenes page.
  2. Confirm scenes defined in the template appear.
  3. Activate a scene to verify it works correctly.

Verify Schedules

  1. Navigate to More → Schedule.
  2. Confirm schedules defined in the template appear.
  3. Check schedule timing and actions.

After Updating a Template

If you update a template after applying it:

  • Existing applied settings are not automatically updated
  • You must reapply the template to push new settings
  • Consider documenting which groups received which template version

Capacity Considerations

Be aware of system limits when applying templates with scenes and schedules:

Item Limit
Scenes per zone 66
Schedules per zone 32
Scenes per light 32

If limits are exceeded, scene or schedule creation may fail.

Troubleshooting

Issue Solution
Some lights failed Tap "Apply settings" to retry
All lights failed Check mesh connectivity; move closer
Settings not visible Refresh app; verify light is in group
Scenes not created Check zone scene limit (66 max)

10 Ceiling Sensors

CS107S PIR Ceiling Sensor Configuration

Overview

The CS107S is a PIR (Passive Infrared) ceiling sensor that provides motion detection and photocell functionality. It can control a group of lights and includes a relay for direct load switching. This article covers adding, configuring, and associating the CS107S sensor.

CS107S Features

Feature Description
PIR Detection Detects occupancy via body heat
Photocell Measures ambient light levels
Relay Output Direct load control capability
Hold Time Configurable duration
Sensitivity Adjustable detection range

Where Ceiling Sensors Appear

Ceiling sensors appear under the Area Sensors tab within Discover in the app, not the Lights page. This is because they control lights rather than being lights themselves.

Adding a CS107S Sensor

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Discover page, then tap Area Sensors.
  2. Tap the + button in the upper left corner.
  3. The app begins searching for nearby sensors.
  4. Put the CS107S into pairing mode (per installation instructions).
  5. When the sensor appears, tap to select it.
  6. Add the sensor to your zone.

Configuring the CS107S

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. On the Discover page, tap Area Sensors, then tap on the CS107S sensor.
  2. Tap the Settings button in the upper right corner.
  3. Configure the following:

Basic Settings

Setting Action
Name Enter a descriptive name
Rated Wattage Set wattage for relay output load
Group Association Select which light group to control
  1. Tap Next Step to access sensor parameters.

Sensor Parameters

Parameter Description
Hold Time How long lights stay on after motion stops
Photocell Enable Turn ambient light sensing on/off
Photocell Threshold Light level below which sensor triggers
  1. Tap Save to apply settings.

Photocell Behavior

When the photocell is enabled:

  • The sensor measures ambient light levels
  • Lights will not turn on unless ambient light is below the threshold
  • Even if motion is detected, lights stay off if the area is bright enough

This prevents unnecessary energy use during daylight hours.

Daylight Harvesting

Important

The current CS107S versions (CS107S.A0 and CS107S.B1) do not support daylight harvesting. The CS107S provides the on/off photocell "Hold-OFF" described above — it can keep lights off while the space is bright, but it cannot dim lights to hold a target light level (it has no daylight-harvesting dimming function). Daylight harvesting is planned for future versions of the CS107S.

When a daylight-harvesting–capable version is used, the area sensor performs daylight harvesting for all lights in the group mapped to it. In that case, daylight harvesting must be disabled on every other device in the group — leave only the single area sensor performing it, or the sensors will conflict and cause erratic dimming. See Daylight Harvesting Strategies for the group-wide setup path.

Enabling Group Linkage

After binding the sensor to a group:

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

This ensures the group receives the correct configuration from the sensor.

Configuration Checklist

  • Add sensor from Area Sensors tab
  • Rename sensor descriptively
  • Set rated wattage for relay load
  • Associate to light group
  • Set hold time
  • Configure photocell (enable/threshold)
  • Save settings
  • Enable group linkage

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
Sensor not appearing Not in pairing mode Re-enter pairing mode
Lights not responding Not associated to group Check group association
Lights on in daylight Photocell disabled Enable photocell
Lights won't turn on Threshold too low Increase photocell threshold
Linkage not working Group not configured Enable/re-enable group linkage

CS107D Dual-Technology Sensor Configuration

Overview

The CS107D is a dual-technology ceiling sensor combining PIR (Passive Infrared) and ultrasonic detection. This provides higher accuracy and wider coverage than single-technology sensors, with approximately 600 square feet of room coverage.

Dual-Technology Sensing

PIR (Passive Infrared)

  • Detects body heat
  • Excellent for detecting people entering a space
  • 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
Daylight Harvesting No Yes (integrated)
Timer Control Simple hold time T1/T2 timers
Dim Level N/A Configurable
Best For Basic occupancy Advanced control with DLH

Important

Daylight harvesting is not supported on the CS107D.A0. The A0 provides an on/off photocell "Hold-OFF" only (it has no 0-10V dimming output), so it cannot dim lights to maintain a target light level. Daylight harvesting is available on the CS107D.B1 and later; future versions of the CS107D will support daylight harvesting.

Adding a CS107D Sensor

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Discover page, then tap Area Sensors.
  2. Tap the + button.
  3. Put the sensor into pairing mode.
  4. Select the sensor when it appears.
  5. Add to your zone.

Configuring the CS107D

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. On the Discover page, tap Area Sensors, then tap on the CS107D sensor.
  2. Tap the Settings button.
  3. Configure basic settings:
  4. Name: Enter descriptive name
  5. Rated Wattage: Set for relay output load
  6. Group Association: Select light group to control
  7. Tap Next Step for sensor parameters.

Sensitivity Settings

Setting Description
PIR Sensitivity Detection range for heat-based sensing (Low/Med/High)
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.

Daylight Harvesting Settings

Daylight harvesting automatically dims the group's lights based on the ambient light the sensor measures, holding a consistent light level and saving energy as available daylight increases. (Available on the CS107D.B1 and later — not the CS107D.A0.)

To configure daylight harvesting:

  1. In the sensor settings, enable Daylight Harvesting.
  2. Choose one of the three pre-defined strategies that best fits the application, or select Custom to fine-tune the parameters manually.
  3. Tap Send to save the daylight harvesting settings.
  4. Open the Light Dimming settings, set the desired dimming and tuning levels, then tap "A" to capture the current ambient brightness as the daylight-harvesting reference point (auto point).
Setting Description
Enable / Disable Turns daylight harvesting on or off
Strategy One of three pre-defined profiles, or Custom for manual tuning
Custom Parameters Fine-tune the dimming response when a pre-defined strategy doesn't fit the space
Auto Point ("A") Saves the current ambient brightness as the target light level to hold

Note

When the CS107D.B1 is used for daylight harvesting, it performs daylight harvesting for all lights in the associated group — the entire group dims together in response to the sensor's ambient light reading, rather than each fixture adjusting individually. Because the CS107D drives daylight harvesting for the whole group, daylight harvesting must be disabled on every other sensor in that group (including any integrated fixture sensors). Leaving multiple daylight-harvesting sensors active in the same group causes them to conflict and produce erratic dimming.

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

BCS107 Battery Sensor Configuration

Overview

The BCS107 is a battery-powered wireless ceiling sensor providing PIR occupancy/vacancy sensing and daylight harvesting. With up to 5 years of battery life and multiple mounting options, it offers flexible installation without wiring.

BCS107 Features

Feature Description
Power Battery (5-year life)
Sensing PIR occupancy/vacancy
Daylight Harvesting Yes (slower response than wired)
Mounting Multiple ceiling mount options
Wireless Bluetooth mesh connectivity

Physical Controls

Element Function
LED Indicator Flashes when receiving wireless packets
Calibrate/Pairing Button Short press = calibrate, Long press = pair

Pairing the BCS107

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Discover page, then tap Switches.
  2. Tap the + button to begin pairing.
  3. Long press the sensor button for 3 seconds.
  4. The LED will flash quickly indicating pairing mode.
  5. Pairing mode lasts 30 seconds.
  6. When the sensor appears in the app, select and add it.

Configuring the BCS107

Basic Configuration

  1. On the Discover page, tap Switches, then tap on the BCS107 sensor.
  2. Tap Settings.
  3. Configure name and association:
  4. Enter descriptive name
  5. Associate to group or individual lights
  6. Tap Save.

Important Note

If you add lights to a group after binding the BCS107, you must return to the BCS107 configuration page and save the settings again.

Calibrating Daylight Harvesting

To Calibrate

  1. Ensure the sensor lens is positioned toward the area to measure ambient light.
  2. Give a short press to the sensor's calibrate button.
  3. The sensor adjusts its baseline reading.

Calibration Tips

  • Calibrate during typical lighting conditions
  • Position lens toward the primary work area
  • Recalibrate if sensor is repositioned

Daylight Harvesting Response

Important

The BCS107's daylight harvesting responds slower than line-powered sensors. This is due to power conservation requirements for battery life.

  • Changes may take longer to take effect
  • Not suitable for spaces requiring instant response
  • Adequate for most general applications

Group Daylight Harvesting

All BCS107 versions support daylight harvesting. When the BCS107 is used for daylight harvesting, it performs daylight harvesting for all lights in the group mapped to the sensor — the entire group dims together from the sensor's single ambient light reading, rather than each fixture adjusting individually.

Required: When using the BCS107 for group daylight harvesting, daylight harvesting must be disabled on every other device in the group — leave only the BCS107 performing it. Multiple daylight-harvesting sensors in one group conflict and cause erratic dimming.

BCS107.C1 hardware switch: The BCS107.C1 has a physical switch to enable daylight harvesting. When this switch is enabled, disable daylight harvesting on all other devices in the group so the BCS107 is the only sensor harvesting daylight for the group.

See Daylight Harvesting Strategies for the group-wide setup path.

Vacancy Mode with Bi-Level Dimming

To provide vacancy sensing with bi-level dimming using the BCS107 with Keilton interior lights:

Setup Steps

Step Action
1 Commission the BCS107 and lights to a zone
2 Create a group and add the lights as members
3 Enable motion sensors on the group, select Vacancy mode
4 Disable daylight harvesting on the group
5 Set appropriate T1, T2, and dim level for the group
6 Dim the group to proper level and save as auto point
7 Bind the BCS107 to this group
8 Calibrate the BCS107

Notes

  • Enable motion on the group even though lights don't have physical sensors
  • This allows the firmware to respond to the BCS107's signals
  • Disabling DLH on the group prevents conflict with the BCS107's DLH

Button Functions Reference

Action Function
Short press Calibrate daylight harvesting sensor
Long press (3 seconds) Enter pairing mode (LED flashes quickly)

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
Sensor not pairing Not in pairing mode Hold button 3+ seconds
Lights not responding Not bound to group Check group association
DLH slow to respond Normal for battery sensor Expected behavior
Calibration not working Lens position Aim lens toward measurement area
New lights not controlled Settings not re-saved Re-save BCS107 configuration

Battery Life Considerations

  • 5-year expected battery life
  • Slower DLH response conserves power
  • LED flashes indicate activity (normal operation)

Quick Reference

Action Steps

Configure Discover → Switches → Tap sensor → Settings → Associate → Save
Calibrate DLH Short press sensor button
Vacancy setup Group → Enable motion (Vacancy) → Disable DLH → Save

Compatibility & Calibration Notes

Controller firmware

Controllers and devices in the zone must be on firmware 231210 or later to work with the BCS107.

Because the BCS107 is battery-powered, its daylight-harvesting sensor responds more slowly than AC/DC-powered sensors. When calibrating (a short press of the Calibrate button), make sure there is proper ambient light and the lens is facing the right direction and not blocked.

Plug Load Controllers

Overview

Plug load controllers are smart receptacles that connect to your Keilton+autani lighting mesh network. They allow you to manage outlet-powered devices—turning them on and off, including them in groups, and automating them with schedules.

Where Plug Load Controllers Appear

Unlike switches and sensors, plug load controllers appear on the Lights page alongside your fixtures. This is because they are controlled devices rather than controlling devices.

Common Use Cases

Application Benefit
Task lighting Desk lamps turn on/off with overhead lights
Coffee makers Scheduled on/off for break rooms
Space heaters Occupancy-based control for safety
Monitors/Equipment Auto-off after business hours
Decorative lighting Coordinated with main lighting
Signage Scheduled display hours

Adding a Plug Load Controller

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Lights page.
  2. Tap the + button to search for devices.
  3. Press and hold the button on the receptacle for 6 seconds.
  4. The controller enters pairing mode.
  5. When it appears in the app, select and add it.
  6. The controller now appears on your Lights page.

Controlling the Plug Load

Via App

  • Navigate to the Lights page
  • Tap the plug load icon to turn on/off

Via Physical Button

  • Press the button on the receptacle for manual on/off

Via Group Linkage

  1. Add the plug load to a group with lights
  2. Enable linkage for the group
  3. The receptacle turns on/off automatically with the group

Via Schedule

  1. Create a schedule (More → Schedule)
  2. Associate the plug load to the schedule
  3. Set times for on/off actions

Grouping with Lights

When grouped with lights and linkage is enabled:

  • Plug load turns on when group motion is detected
  • Plug load turns off when group timers expire
  • Provides automatic control for plug-connected devices

Example: Task Lamp at Workstation

  1. Add overhead light and plug load controller to same group
  2. Connect desk lamp to plug load controller
  3. Enable group linkage
  4. Desk lamp turns on/off with overhead light based on occupancy

Setting Rated Power (for energy reporting)

Energy figures are calculated from a wattage you enter, not measured at the outlet. If you leave the wattage blank, the plug load contributes nothing to your energy reports — so set it whenever energy monitoring matters.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. On the Lights page, press and hold the plug load controller's icon to open its settings page.
  2. Locate the wattage field.
  3. Enter the wattage of the connected appliance (see below).
  4. The setting saves automatically.

Enter the wattage of the plugged-in load — not the controller

The controller itself draws almost nothing. What you are describing to the system is the device plugged into it — the task lamp, monitor, space heater, or coffee maker. A 60 W desk lamp on a WF20R is entered as 60 W.

Enter the full appliance wattage. The receptacle switches its load fully on or fully off, so there is no partial-power adjustment to calculate.

Connected load Enter
60 W desk lamp 60
90 W monitor 90
1500 W space heater 1500
Nothing plugged in yet Leave blank until the load is known

Where to find the appliance wattage

  • The appliance's rating label or nameplate
  • Its power supply / brick, if external
  • The manufacturer's specification sheet

The estimate is only as good as the number you enter

If the appliance at that outlet is swapped — a lamp replaced with a heater — update the wattage, or the reports will keep using the old figure. For measured rather than estimated consumption, see the CR01 Energy-Monitoring Dongle, which logs actual data for the zone.

Factory Reset

To reset the plug load controller to factory settings:

  1. Press and hold the button on the receptacle for 6 seconds
  2. The relay clicks to confirm the reset has taken effect
  3. This is the same action as entering pairing mode — the controller is immediately ready to pair with the app again
  4. If already commissioned, it returns to factory defaults

Use this to reclaim a controller

If a plug load controller will not appear when you try to add it, it is probably still commissioned to another zone or app. The 6-second hold clears that binding — listen for the relay click, then search for it again.

Configuration Checklist

  • Add from Lights page
  • Name descriptively (e.g., "Desk 5 Task Lamp")
  • Set rated power to the connected appliance's wattage (required for energy reports)
  • Add to appropriate group (optional)
  • Enable linkage in group (if grouped)
  • Create schedules if needed
  • Test manual and automatic control

Limitations

Limitation Description
No dimming On/off control only
Load rating Follow device specifications for connected loads
No local sensor Relies on group sensors for occupancy

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
Not appearing Not in pairing mode Hold button 6+ seconds
Won't turn on Not added to zone Complete pairing process
Not responding to group Not linked Enable group linkage
Turns off unexpectedly Group timer expired Adjust T1/T2 settings

Quick Reference

Action Steps
Add controller Lights → + → Hold button 6 sec → Add
Control manually Tap icon on Lights page
Add to group Groups → Select group → Ungrouped tab → Select plug load → Save
Schedule More → Schedule → Create → Associate plug load
Set wattage Lights → press and hold controller → wattage field → enter appliance watts
Factory reset Hold button 6 seconds (relay clicks to confirm)

Automate a Plug Load with Sensors

A plug load controller (e.g. the WF20R) can respond automatically to occupancy by joining a group with sensors and enabling linkage:

  1. On the Lights page, press and hold the controller to open its dimming page, open sensor settings, and enable the Motion Sensor function for the controller. Set the parameters and Save.
  2. Create or open a group and add the controller together with the sensor-equipped fixtures.
  3. Set the group's sensor parameters, then enable Link for the group.

The controller now shows an "A" (auto mode): it turns ON when sensors in the group detect motion and OFF when they time out. You can still control it manually, or via switches, scenes, and schedules.

Energy-Monitoring & RTC Dongles (CR01 & CR02-W)

The Keilton+autani system offers two related USB dongles that each provide a battery-backed real-time clock (RTC) — so schedules run accurately even without internet — while serving different primary purposes:

  • CR01 — Energy-Monitoring & RTC dongle (indoor). Collects energy-consumption data for reporting, and synchronizes time across the zone.
  • CR02-W — Long-Range RTC dongle (outdoor). Adds astronomical sunrise/sunset scheduling and long-range coverage for outdoor sites.

Which dongle do I need?

CR01 CR02-W
Primary purpose Energy monitoring + zone time sync Long-range RTC + sunrise/sunset scheduling
Real-time clock (battery-backed) Yes Yes
Energy logging & reports Yes (microSD raw logs) No
Astronomical scheduling (sunrise/sunset) No Yes (up to 16 actions)
Long-range antenna No TX1 (1 dBi, included, ~860 ft); TX5 (5 dBi, optional, up to ~1,640 ft / 500 m)
Environment Indoor Outdoor, IP65
Power USB Type-A USB, a UTP device (e.g. PPA102S.A1), or the CR02-W-ENCL enclosure
Per zone One One typical (add more or signal boosters for coverage)

Both are added from the Devices view — not the Lights or Switches page. Only one CR01 is needed per zone.

Scheduling: what each dongle supports

Both dongles keep accurate time for regular time-of-day schedules (e.g. "on at 6:00 PM every day"), created in Creating Schedules. Only the CR02-W supports astronomical sunrise/sunset schedules — calculated from the coordinates you enter and configured in the CR02-W's own device settings (see below).

CR01 — Energy-Monitoring & RTC Dongle

The CR01 collects energy-consumption data for all lights and controllers in a zone and generates energy reports through the Keilton+autani iOS app. Its embedded RTC (with internal battery) keeps accurate time across the zone, including through power outages.

Features

Feature Detail
Power USB Type-A receptacle
Real-time clock Embedded RTC with internal battery — synchronizes time across all zone devices and holds time during outages
Energy logging Records raw consumption data for every device to a microSD card at 15-minute intervals
Per zone One CR01 covers one zone

microSD sizing

The CR01 writes one file per month named YYYYMM.txt. A 100-controller zone generates ~28 MB/month; for two years of retention use a card with ≥ 700 MB free, formatted FAT32, inserted before use.

Energy-monitoring workflow

  1. Add & commission lights — see Adding Lights.
  2. Enter rated power for each light (see below) — energy calculations depend on it.
  3. Add the CR01 to the zone (steps below).
  4. Collect the raw energy log periodically (monthly recommended) — import the microSD file into the app: More → Energy Monitoring → Import Raw Log, then select the log file. (Use a microSD reader, or copy the file to phone/iCloud first.)
  5. Export the energy report — Energy Monitoring → Export Energy Report, choose the zone, building type, and date range, then save (e.g. to iCloud).

Enter rated power

Rated power is post-trim

Enter the wattage after top-trim is applied — e.g. enter 24 W for a 30 W luminaire at 80% top-trim.

  • Set per light on the light's dimming page (tap the wattage value, upper right), or
  • Set for all lights in a group from the group dimming page (this sets each light's power, not the group total). See Naming Lights & Setting Rated Power.

Add the CR01 to a zone

  1. Plug the CR01 into a USB power source.
  2. Navigate to the Devices view (More → Device Info, or the Discover → Devices tab).
  3. Tap Click to Add — the app searches for the powered-on dongle.
  4. Check the CR01, tap Add, then confirm.
  5. The dongle now appears on the Device Info page.

Documentation

CR02-W — Long-Range RTC Dongle

The CR02-W is an outdoor, IP65-rated long-range dongle with an astronomical real-time clock. It calculates local sunrise/sunset times from the site's coordinates and drives scheduled ON/OFF actions accordingly, acting as the zone's time-synchronization hub. With the optional TX5 antenna it extends mesh range up to ~1,640 ft (500 m).

Features

Feature Detail
Astronomical clock Calculates sunrise/sunset from the device's latitude/longitude
Timekeeping Battery-backed RTC holds time through power interruptions
Long range TX1 (1 dBi) antenna included (~860 ft); TX5 (5 dBi) optional, up to ~1,640 ft / 500 m
Environment IP65-rated for outdoor use
Power USB, a UTP device (e.g. PPA102S.A1), or the CR02-W-ENCL enclosure

No automatic Daylight Saving Time

The CR02-W does not auto-adjust for DST. Once set to a time zone, the time stays fixed year-round — adjust manually for seasonal changes if required.

Adding the CR02-W to a zone

  1. Install the device with its antenna mounted per the specification, within range of other zone controllers, away from metal/concrete that blocks signal.
  2. In the Devices view, tap Click to Add, check the CR02-W when it appears, tap Add, and confirm.
  3. One CR02-W typically covers one zone — add another CR02-W or a signal booster if coverage is a concern, or use a higher-gain antenna.

Set location (longitude & latitude)

  1. On the Devices page, press and hold the CR02-W icon to open its configuration; tap the name to rename (optional).
  2. Tap Get to auto-detect and fill your coordinates, or enter latitude/longitude manually.
  3. Tap Set to send the location to the CR02-W. Accurate coordinates are required for correct sunrise/sunset calculation.

Create scheduled actions

Each CR02-W holds up to 16 actions (install two for up to 32).

  1. Select Add an action; name it and toggle it on.
  2. Choose Scheduled, then select whether to turn ON/OFF specific lights, groups, or scenes.
  3. Set time — a fixed time of day, or relative to sunset/sunrise with an offset: negative = before, positive = after (range −120 to +120 minutes).
  4. Set recurrence — run once or repeat on chosen days.
  5. Set fade time for a smooth transition.
  6. To remove an action, swipe left and select Delete.

Typical application — outdoor parking lot

Goal: all lights off during the day; perimeter 100% at night; interior lights 100% on motion / 30% without motion at night.

  1. Create a zone; add all lights and the CR02-W.
  2. Group G-Out (perimeter): disable motion & photocell sensors, set 100%.
  3. Group G-Mid (interior): enable motion, disable photocell, set T1/T2 delays with a 30% inactive level.
  4. On the CR02-W: enter coordinates, then create two actions — ON all groups 30 min before sunset, and OFF 30 min after sunrise, both repeating daily with a 5-minute fade.

RP0 Signal Booster

The RP0 extends mesh network coverage in challenging environments where wireless signals may not reach all fixtures reliably.

When to Use

  • Large spaces with distant fixtures
  • Areas with signal-blocking obstacles
  • Installations with weak mesh connectivity
  • Spaces with concrete or metal barriers

Adding the RP0

  1. Plug the RP0 into a USB port.
  2. Navigate to the Discover page (bottom navigation bar).
  3. Tap Devices in the top selector.
  4. Tap the + button.
  5. Select and add to your zone.

Critical: Zone Association

Important

The RP0 must be added to the zone being commissioned.

When moving to commission a different zone: 1. Delete the RP0 from the current zone 2. Add it to the next zone

The RP0 extends coverage only for the zone it's associated with.

Placement

Position the RP0 strategically between: - The main mesh network (well-connected fixtures) - Distant or poorly-connected fixtures

Resetting the RP0

Reset the RP0 when moving it between zones or troubleshooting connectivity. Three methods:

  1. Device Info — on the Devices page, tap the − button, select the RP0, and Delete (removing it from the zone resets it).
  2. Nearby Lights — More → Nearby Lights, swipe left on the RP0, and tap Reset (the zone must show Connected first).
  3. Reset button — press and hold the RP0's reset button for 3 seconds (fastest for resetting several units without the app).

Using the RP0 while commissioning, configuring, or updating

  • Commissioning distant/high fixtures: reset the RP0 to factory settings, keep it within ~3 ft of your phone, and leave it powered — it relays between your phone and far fixtures.
  • Configuring (groups, scenes, schedules, switches): add the RP0 to the zone you're configuring and keep it near your phone so commands reach every fixture.
  • Mesh OTA firmware: update one strong-signal fixture first (it becomes the distributor), stay near it, and keep the RP0 powered — in factory settings for pre-commission updates, or added to the zone for in-service updates.

Adding Devices Summary

All these devices are added via:

  1. Discover page (bottom navigation bar)
  2. Devices tab (top selector)
  3. Tap the + button

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

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

Circadian Rhythm Settings

Overview

Circadian rhythm lighting automatically adjusts color temperature throughout the day, mimicking natural daylight patterns. This supports occupant wellbeing by aligning artificial lighting with human biological rhythms.

What Is Circadian Lighting?

Natural daylight shifts color temperature throughout the day:

Time Natural Light Effect on Body
Sunrise Warm (2700K) Wake-up, gentle start
Midday Cool (5000K+) Alertness, productivity
Sunset Warm (2700K) Relaxation, wind-down

Circadian lighting recreates these patterns indoors to support natural body rhythms.

Requirements

Requirement Details
Fixture type Tunable white capable
Operating mode Must be in Auto mode
Scope Zone-wide application

Note

Standard dimmable fixtures without color tuning cannot participate in circadian rhythm.

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).

Resetting a switch or a plug load controller? Use a different method.

This page covers fixtures. Wall switches are reset from the switch itself with a two-button press-and-hold that varies by model — see Adding Switches → pairing/reset combinations. A WF20R plug load controller resets by holding its receptacle button for 6 seconds — see Plug Load Controllers.

When to Reset

Scenario Reason
Recommissioning Moving fixture to different zone
Troubleshooting Clearing persistent issues

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

16 Pro-Exclusive Features

Pro-Exclusive Features

Overview

Some features are available only in the Keilton+autani Pro app. This section documents those capabilities and the hardware they require, so installers know what the Pro app adds over the standard app.

Do I have the Pro app?

These features do not appear in the standard Keilton+autani app. If you don't see them, confirm you are running Keilton+autani Pro and that you have the required accessories for the feature.

Features in this section

  • Quick Commission — rapidly commission, name, and group large numbers of photo-sensor fixtures using FlashNet with the RP1 remote and FL30 flashlight.

More Pro-exclusive features will be added here over time.

Quick Commission

Keilton+autani Pro only

Quick Commission is available only in the Keilton+autani Pro app (iPad). It is not available in the standard Keilton+autani app, and it requires the RP1 commissioning tool and the FL30 flashlight.

Video Tutorial

Watch the companion video Mobile App vs. iPad App Commissioning for a visual walkthrough. Quick Commission is demonstrated in the second half (Method 2) of the video.

Overview

Quick Commission uses FlashNet technology to commission and group large numbers of sensor-equipped fixtures quickly. Instead of adding fixtures one at a time, you point the FL30 flashlight at each light's sensor and the app automatically adds it to the group you're building — greatly reducing commissioning time on large projects such as warehouses.

Compared to standard commissioning with the mobile app, this method delivers faster commissioning, fewer errors, and a more streamlined workflow.

Requirements

Quick Commission works only when all of the following are true:

Requirement Detail
App Keilton+autani Pro (iPad)
Hardware RP1 commissioning tool and FL30 flashlight
Sensor type Sensors with a photo sensor (Daylight Harvesting or Photocell models)
Firmware Sensor firmware 240819 or later

Why a photo sensor is required

FlashNet works by having the sensor detect the FL30's flashing light through its photocell. Fixtures without a photo sensor cannot be quick-commissioned.

Tools at a glance

  • RP1 — commissioning tool with multiple Bluetooth modules; during Quick Commission it acts as a signal booster that the app connects to automatically. Module one also includes a Disable Bluetooth button (see Step 4).
  • FL30 — rechargeable flashlight with a flashing (strobe) mode; aiming it at a sensor enables that light's radio so the app can add it.

See the RP1 and FL30 product instructions for full hardware details.

Before You Begin

  • Create your zone for the project.
  • Confirm target fixtures are on firmware 240819 or later.
  • Have the RP1 and a charged FL30 on hand.

Quick Commission Workflow

1. Open Quick Commission

In the Keilton+autani Pro app, tap the Quick Commission icon.

2. Add your groups

On the Quick Commission page, tap Add a new group and create one group per area. (Example: a warehouse with three aisles → three groups, such as A1, A2, and A3.)

3. Start discovery

Tap Start. The app begins discovering devices and automatically finds and connects to the RP1's signal booster.

4. Disable factory-setting radios

So the app only adds the lights you deliberately activate with the FL30, disable the Bluetooth radios of any sensors still in factory settings. You can do this two ways:

  • In the app — tap the Disable BLE button inside Quick Commissioning (available after you tap Start).
  • With the RP1 — press the Disable Bluetooth button on module one.

5. Select a group and begin commissioning

  1. Tap Select group and choose the group you want to add lights to (e.g., A1).
  2. Tap Start commission.

6. Add lights with the FL30

  1. Put the FL30 in flashing mode by clicking its power button twice in quick succession.
  2. Point it at the sensor of each light you want in the current group.
  3. The app automatically adds that light to the group. Repeat for every light in the area.

If a light won't add

If the app fails to add a light after several tries, point the FL30 (in flashing mode) at that sensor for about 6 seconds to reset it to factory settings, then let the app try again.

7. Stop and move to the next group

Tap Stop commission when the group's lights are all added. Move to the next area, select the next group, and repeat Steps 5–6 until every group is complete.

8. Apply templates

Once all lights in all areas are added, go to the Groups page and tap the template icon for each group to apply a preset template of sensor settings, scenes, and schedules to that group.

17 Spiral Engineering

Spiral Engineering — Overview

iOS only · admin access required

Spiral Engineering is available only on iOS and requires admin (management) privilege, granted by scanning a zone QR code (see below).

What it is

Spiral Engineering is the LiteTrace engineering / service app. It shares several core functions with the standard Keilton+autani app — My Zones, Light Info, Nearby Lights, and Force Sync (which work the same way; see the main guide) — and adds two engineering capabilities:

  • Light Upgrade — perform over-the-air (OTA) firmware upgrades on lights, individually or across a whole firmware group (mesh upgrade). Use it when new features are released or bugs are fixed.
  • Parameter Setting — professional tuning of Top Trim, Low-end Trim, PWM Frequency, Bottom Trim, and Transition time.

The app does not collect personal data. Grant network, Bluetooth, and other permissions when prompted.

18 QRCommander

QRCommander — Overview

QRCommander is a web-based platform for managing networked-lighting projects across the supply chain. It lets OEMs, distributors, and installers organize projects, zones, and user access in one place, and issue QR-code credentials that the Keilton+autani app scans to give the right people on-site access to the right projects and zones.

Access the platform at the QRCommander web portal: qrcommander.autani.net. (OEMs may operate the portal under their own branded domain — use the address provided with your administrator account.)

Purpose

On larger deployments many parties touch a project — the OEM brand, its distributors, the installers doing on-site commissioning, and ultimately the building owner. QRCommander coordinates them by letting you:

  • Organize work into projects → sub-projects → zones.
  • Manage organizations and user accounts for each party.
  • Grant, transfer, and revoke access rights using QR codes — a user scans their QR code in the Keilton+autani app to load exactly the projects and zones they're assigned.

The account hierarchy

Level Who Set up by
OEM Client The brand owner / OEM administrator LiteTrace provisions the OEM admin account
Distributor Sales/agency organization + operators The OEM administrator
Installer On-site commissioning organization + users The distributor's operator
Customer Building-owner organization + users The distributor's operator

Account types

  • Operator — can log in to the QRCommander web portal to manage organizations, users, and projects.
  • User — does not log in to the portal; instead receives a QR code to scan in the Keilton+autani app for on-site commissioning or ongoing control.

Requesting an account

QRCommander has no self-registration. There is no "sign up" or "create account" option on the portal — every account is created for you by the level above you in the hierarchy. Where you send your request depends on who you are:

If you are… Request access from
A distributor, installer, or building-owner user Your OEM administrator (or, for installer and customer accounts, the distributor's operator) — they create accounts directly in QRCommander
A new OEM / brand partner needing your first administrator account LiteTrace — email QRCLogin@autani.com, or contact your LiteTrace business-development representative
An existing operator who has lost portal access QRCLogin@autani.com

Requests sent to QRCLogin@autani.com open a ticket with Autani Support and are tracked to completion; you will receive your portal credentials by reply once the account is provisioned.

Users vs. operators

Only operators need portal login credentials. If you only need to commission or control lighting on site, you do not need a portal account at all — your operator issues you a QR code to scan in the Keilton+autani app.

How it works with the app

Each user has a QR code. Scanning it in the Keilton+autani app (More → My Zones → Scan) loads that user's assigned projects and zones. Changing a user's password in QRCommander invalidates their old QR code — this is how access is revoked or reset.

In this section

QRCommander — OEMs: Administrator Tasks

  3. Open the customer user, right-click their QR code, and send it to the customer.
  4. On the project, click Update: cancel the installer's Admin right and assign the customer the User right, then Confirm. The customer now holds access to the project.

QRCommander & the Keilton+autani App

Overview

QRCommander issues each user a QR code; the Keilton+autani app uses it to load that user's assigned projects and zones for on-site work.

Scan your QR code in the app

  1. In the app, go to More → My Zones and tap the Scan button at the top.
  2. Allow camera access and scan your QR code — or select the QR-code picture from your photo album.
  3. Your assigned projects and zones appear in a hierarchy. Fold/unfold projects to find the zones (or use the Search QR Code name box to filter). The full project path of the current zone is shown at the top.
  4. Tap a zone to switch to it. A Switch Zones prompt confirms the change ("Change control to another zone…"); tap Confirm. You can switch back at any time using the QR code associated with the current zone.

Add a new zone on the jobsite

  1. If you need a new zone while on site, tap the + on the project where the zone belongs.
  2. Tap Confirm, enter the zone name, and tap OK. The new zone also appears back on the QRCommander portal.

Revoke or reset access

If a user loses their QR code — or access needs to be revoked — the operator changes that user's password in QRCommander:

  1. Open the user, click Update, enter a new password, and Confirm. This invalidates the previous QR code and generates a new one.
  2. On next launch, the app warns that the old QR code is no longer valid, and the previously assigned projects and zones disappear. The user must scan the new QR code to regain access.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which app do I need?

Most users want the standard Keilton+autani app (iOS or Android). Professional installers on iPad may prefer Keilton+autani Pro (adds Quick Commission), and engineers use Spiral Engineering (iOS) for firmware and parameter tuning. See Download the App.

Do I need internet or a gateway?

No gateway is required — devices form a local Bluetooth mesh. An internet connection is only needed to sync data to the cloud (so QR-code access can be shared) and for some cloud features. You can commission fully offline and sync later.

How many devices can a zone have?

Up to about 100 devices, ideally within a ~150 ft radius / under 9,000 sq ft, avoiding concrete or metal barriers. See System Capacity Limits and Planning & Sequences of Operations.

Why can't someone else access my zone after I share the QR code?

Zone data must be synced to the cloud first. If you commissioned with a poor/absent connection, run Force Sync (More page) once you have internet, then share. See Cautions & Safety.

What's the difference between a Group and a Scene?

A Group is a set of lights controlled together; a Scene is a saved preset of levels/colors you activate with one tap. Groups define what is controlled; scenes define how it looks.

How do I add a switch, sensor, or other device?

Use the Discover page (bottom navigation), then choose Switches, Area Sensors, or Devices from the top selector. See Navigating the App.

Why only one mobile device during commissioning?

Using multiple devices at once can cause data corruption or duplicate addresses. Commission with a single device. See Cautions & Safety.

How do I update device firmware?

Use the Spiral Engineering app (iOS) to check for and apply firmware updates over the air. See Spiral Engineering — Firmware Upgrade.

What is Quick Commission and who can use it?

Quick Commission rapidly commissions large numbers of photo-sensor fixtures using FlashNet (RP1 + FL30). It's available only in Keilton+autani Pro (iPad). See Quick Commission.

I lost access to my system — how do I get back in?

Re-scan the zone's QR code to restore access (Admin or User depending on the code). Keep QR codes saved and backed up. See Working with QR Codes.
