Overview
The Keilton+autani system provides intelligent control of commercial lighting through advanced Bluetooth Low Energy Mesh protocols (versions 4.2 and 5.0). Developed in the USA by LiteTrace, this system delivers industry-leading performance, security, and energy efficiency with wireless communication up to 100 feet or more between devices.
This article introduces the system's capabilities, explains key concepts, and identifies the main components you'll work with.
System Capabilities
With the Keilton+autani system, you can:
- Commission wirelessly — Set up your entire lighting network directly from a mobile device without requiring internet access or gateways
- Control flexibly — Manage individual fixtures or create customized lighting groups
- Create scenes — Design preset lighting configurations for different activities and environments
- Automate operations — Set schedules based on time, occupancy, and ambient light
- Monitor energy — Track usage and optimize efficiency across your facility
Understanding LLLC
Luminaire-Level Lighting Control (LLLC) is the foundation of this system. LLLC means each individual light fixture is equipped with its own control device or integrated control system, allowing for independent control and management of each fixture.
LLLC Capabilities
Each LLLC luminaire can:
- Detect human movement using integrated motion sensors
- Measure ambient light levels using photosensors
- Automatically respond by turning on, off, or dimming based on conditions
- Operate independently without requiring a central controller
This approach maximizes energy efficiency because each fixture responds to its immediate environment rather than operating on a fixed schedule.
System Components
The Keilton+autani system consists of four main component types:
1. Networked Controllers and Sensors
Controllers connect to lighting fixtures while sensors detect occupancy and ambient light. Together, they create an intelligent lighting environment that responds automatically to changing conditions.
2. Wall Switches
Wireless controls that can be programmed to manage individual lights, groups, or activate custom scenes. These switches do not require complex wiring for installation.
3. The Keilton+autani Mobile App
The central interface for commissioning, configuring, and controlling all system components. Key features include:
- Works without gateways or internet access
- Uses data encryption for mesh network security
- Stores configuration in encrypted QR codes
- Available for iOS and Android devices
4. QR Codes
Encrypted codes that control access to each network device. QR codes enable secure sharing of zone access with authorized users while maintaining system security.
Bluetooth Mesh Networking
The system uses Bluetooth mesh networking, where each device can relay signals to other devices. This provides several advantages:
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Extended range | Signals hop between devices, reaching far beyond single Bluetooth range |
| Self-healing | If one device goes offline, the mesh routes around it automatically |
| Resilient connectivity | The network maintains operation even with device failures |
| No central hub required | Devices communicate directly without a gateway |
Certifications & Compliance
LiteTrace certifications ensure the Keilton+autani system meets the highest industry standards:
- UL 1376 Verification — First Chinese manufacturer to receive security capabilities verification
- Full-Stack R&D — First to achieve in-house development for networked sensors and controllers
- DLC NLC5 Listed — One of the first systems listed to DLC's Networked Lighting Controls standard
Data Persistence
All settings—including sensor parameters, group configurations, scene definitions, and schedules—are saved directly on individual luminaire controllers. This means:
- The system continues operating correctly after power outages
- No network connection is required for normal operation
- Settings persist without cloud dependency
Before You Begin
For the best experience with the Keilton+autani system, ensure:
- Your mobile device has Bluetooth 4.2 or later
- Camera access is enabled for QR code scanning
- Lighting fixtures are installed and powered
- You plan to use a single device during commissioning

System Capacity Limits
Quick Reference
This page consolidates all platform capacity limits for the Keilton+autani NLC system in one place. Individual limits are also noted in their respective topic articles throughout this guide.
Overview
The Keilton+autani platform enforces specific capacity limits to ensure reliable wireless communication and system performance. Understanding these limits is essential when planning your installation, especially for larger facilities that may require multiple zones.
Capacity Limits Reference
| Category | Limit | What Happens If Exceeded |
|---|---|---|
| Online Nodes | Up to 100 online nodes per zone | Divide into additional zones |
| Luminaire / Group | A light can belong to up to 20 groups | Adding a 21st group removes the light from the first group automatically |
| Scenes (per light) | Up to 32 scenes per light | Adding a 33rd scene removes the first scene from that light |
| Scenes (per zone) | Up to 66 scenes per zone | Includes Quick Create Scenes and scenes from template creation |
| Schedules | Up to 32 schedules per zone | Additional schedules cannot be created |
| Switches | Up to 32 switches per zone | Area sensors count toward this limit (see details below) |
| Zones | Unlimited zones per app on a mobile phone | No restriction |
| Data Persistence | All settings saved on individual luminaire controllers | System continues operating after power outages or without network connection |
Online Node Details
Online nodes include the following device types:
- LLLC sensors — IFS108, EFS106, EFS104, etc.
- Controllers — PPA102S, PPA104S, FA102, WF20R, PPA109, etc.
- Area sensors — CS107S, CS107D, etc.
- Sensor switches — IWS102, etc.
- Dongles and gateways — CR01, CR02, CR04, BG01, etc.
Exclusions from the 100-Node Limit
Wall switches and battery-powered BCS107 sensors are not counted toward the 100 online node limit. However, they do count toward other limits (see Switch details below).
Zone Sizing Guidelines
When dividing a site into zones, follow these physical constraints to maintain reliable wireless coverage:
| Guideline | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Maximum radius | 150 feet |
| Maximum area | 9,000 square feet |
| Signal obstructions | Avoid concrete walls or large metal objects within a zone |
| Node count | No more than 100 online nodes per zone |
Switch Limit Details
The 32-switch limit per zone is calculated separately from the 100-node light limit. Adding switches to a zone does not reduce the available online node count.
Devices that count toward the 32-switch limit:
- Battery-powered switches — WP1013, WP1018, WP1025, etc.
- Line voltage switches — WP1013S, WP1017S, WP1018S
- Area sensors — CS107D, CS107S, BCS107
Tip
Because some area sensors count toward the switch limit (32), plan your sensor placement with both limits in mind.
Planning with Capacity Limits
Control Intent Narrative (CIN) and Sequences of Operations (SOO)
Before purchasing and installing an NLC system, facility managers should define owner requirements and control system goals in a design document called the Control Intent Narrative (CIN) and Sequences of Operations (SOO). Two industry standards that can assist in creating these documents are:
- 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
At a minimum, the CIN and SOO should contain:
- A floor plan and the functions of each zone
- Each light's model number, quantity, and position
- Zone definitions based on lighting functions, observing the 100-node and physical size limits above
- Group number, group name, scene number, scene name, and approximate scene design for each zone
- Switch type and number, as well as the function of buttons for each zone

Understanding the Commissioning Process
Overview
Commissioning is the process of setting up and configuring your lighting network. This transforms individual lighting fixtures into an intelligent, coordinated system. This article explains the recommended workflow, best practices, and critical rules for successful commissioning.
What Happens During Commissioning
During the commissioning process, you will:
- Create zones to organize your installation
- Add lights to each zone
- Organize lights into groups
- Create scenes for different activities
- Configure sensor parameters
- Assign switches to control lights
- Set up schedules for automated operation
All settings are saved directly to each luminaire controller, ensuring the system continues operating correctly after power outages or without network connection.
Recommended Workflow
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:
- Create zones and generate QR codes
- Connect lights to the app
- Organize lights into groups
- Create scene settings
- Add and configure switch controls
- Set timers and schedules
Phase 3: Sensor Configuration
Fine-tune automatic behavior:
- Set sensor parameters (time delays, sensitivity, dim levels)
- Configure light linkage levels between grouped fixtures
- Set auto light levels using calibration or manual settings
Phase 4: Project Delivery
Complete the handoff:
- Verify all configurations are working correctly
- Sync all data to the cloud
- Share QR codes with the building owner or facility manager
- 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:
- Turn off WiFi or enable airplane mode on your device
- Complete all commissioning work offline
- When finished, connect to a reliable internet connection
- 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)
Access Level Comparison
| Feature | Admin | User |
|---|---|---|
| Turn lights on/off | ✓ | ✓ |
| Dim lights | ✓ | ✓ |
| Adjust color temperature | ✓ | ✓ |
| Activate scenes | ✓ | ✓ |
| Control groups | ✓ | ✓ |
| Add/delete lights | ✓ | ✗ |
| Create/edit groups | ✓ | ✗ |
| Configure scenes | ✓ | ✗ |
| Adjust sensor settings | ✓ | ✗ |
| Create/edit schedules | ✓ | ✗ |
| Modify trim settings | ✓ | ✗ |
| Share Admin QR code | ✓ | ✗ |
| Share User QR code | ✓ | ✗ |
Recommended Access by Role
| Role | Recommended Access |
|---|---|
| Installer / Commissioning Agent | Admin |
| Facility Manager | Admin |
| Building Owner | Admin |
| IT Administrator | Admin |
| Office Manager | User or Admin (based on needs) |
| Building Occupants | User |

| Security Personnel | User |
Scanning a QR Code
To access a zone using a QR code:
- Open the app and navigate to More → My Zones.
- Tap Scan or Select QR code at the top of the list.
- Your camera will activate. Center the QR code within the frame on your screen.
- The app automatically scans and processes the code.
- 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:
- Navigate to More → My Zones.
- Tap Scan or Select QR code.
- Tap the Album button.
- Navigate to and select the saved QR code image.
- 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.

Naming Lights and Setting Rated Power
Overview
After adding lights to your network, you should give them meaningful names and set their rated power for accurate energy monitoring. Descriptive names make it easy to identify specific fixtures when creating groups, scenes, or troubleshooting issues.
Why Naming Matters
Clear, descriptive names help you:
- Quickly identify specific fixtures in the app
- Create logical groups and scenes
- Troubleshoot issues efficiently
- Document your installation for future maintenance
- Hand off projects to facility managers
Example: Instead of "Light 001," use names like "Conference Room A - North" or "Hallway Light 3."
Renaming a Light
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Tap a light's icon to turn it on or off—this helps you identify the physical fixture.
- Long press (press and hold) on the light's icon to open the Light Dimming settings page.
- Tap the light's name in the upper left corner of the screen.
- Enter the new name in the dialog box that appears.
- Tap OK to save.
The light now displays with its updated name on the Lights page.
Using Suggested Names
When entering names, the app may suggest names based on your previous entries. Tap a suggestion to use it quickly—this speeds up naming when you have many similar lights.
Naming Best Practices
| Approach | Example Names |
|---|---|
| Location-based | "Conf Room A - North", "Hallway 3 - East" |
| Numbered sequence | "Open Office 01", "Open Office 02" |
| Function-based | "Reception Desk", "Server Room Main" |
| Grid reference | "Bay A-3", "Row 2 Column 5" |
Tips for Effective Naming
- Use a consistent naming convention across your installation
- Include location identifiers (building, floor, room)
- Keep names concise but descriptive
- Consider how names will appear in groups and scenes
- Document your naming scheme for future reference
Setting Rated Power
Rated power (wattage) enables accurate energy monitoring across your installation. The system uses this value to calculate and report actual energy consumption.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Long press on a light's icon to open the Light Dimming settings page.
- Locate the wattage field on this page.
- Enter the rated wattage of the fixture.
- The setting saves automatically.
Important: Post-Trim Wattage
If you have set a high-end trim, enter the wattage after trim is applied, not the full fixture wattage.
| Scenario | What to Enter |
|---|---|
| No trim applied | Full fixture wattage |
| 80% high-end trim on 30W fixture | 24W (30 × 0.80) |
| 90% high-end trim on 40W fixture | 36W (40 × 0.90) |
| 70% high-end trim on 50W fixture | 35W (50 × 0.70) |
Where to Find Fixture Wattage
- Check the fixture label
- Refer to the product specification sheet
- Consult installation documentation
Quick Reference
| Task | Steps |
|---|---|
| Rename a light | Long press → Tap name → Enter new name → OK |
| Set rated power | Long press → Enter wattage value |
| Identify light first | Tap icon to flash fixture |
Common Mistakes to Avoid
| Mistake | Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using generic names | Use descriptive, location-based names |
| Entering pre-trim wattage | Enter wattage after high-end trim is applied |
| Inconsistent naming | Follow a consistent naming convention |
| Not documenting names | Keep a record of your naming scheme |

Quick Dimming and Color Tuning
Overview
The Keilton+autani app provides quick gesture controls for adjusting lights directly from the Lights page—no menus required. This article explains how to use tap and swipe gestures for fast lighting control.
Quick On/Off Control
The fastest way to control a light is a simple tap.
How to Toggle On/Off
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Tap once on any light's icon.
- The light toggles between on and off.
The icon updates immediately to show the light's current state. This works for any light in your zone.
Quick Brightness Adjustment
Adjust brightness using a horizontal swipe gesture.
How to Adjust Brightness
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Place your finger on a light's icon.
- Slide left to dim the light down.
- Slide right to brighten the light up.
The light responds in real-time as you slide, allowing you to find the perfect brightness level.
Tips for Success
- Use a light touch—pressing too hard may register as a tap instead
- Keep the gesture smooth and horizontal
- Watch the fixture respond as you slide
Quick Color Temperature Adjustment
For tunable white fixtures, adjust color temperature using a vertical swipe gesture.
How to Adjust Color Temperature
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Place your finger on a tunable white light's icon.
- Slide up to shift toward cooler (bluer) tones.
- Slide down to shift toward warmer (more yellow) tones.
The fixture adjusts in real-time so you can see the effect immediately.
Color Temperature Reference
| Direction | Result | Typical CCT Range |
|---|---|---|
| Swipe Up | Cooler/Blue | 5000K – 6500K |
| Swipe Down | Warmer/Yellow | 2700K – 3500K |
Note
Vertical swipe only works on tunable white or CCT-capable fixtures. Standard dimmable lights will not respond to vertical swipes.
Gesture Summary
| Gesture | Direction | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Tap | Single quick tap | Toggle on/off |
| Horizontal swipe | Left | Dim down |
| Horizontal swipe | Right | Brighten up |
| Vertical swipe | Up | Cooler color temperature |
| Vertical swipe | Down | Warmer color temperature |
Supported Features by Fixture Type
Not all fixtures support all gestures. The table below shows which controls work with each fixture type:
| Fixture Type | Tap (On/Off) | Horizontal (Brightness) | Vertical (CCT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mono-dimmable | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ |
| Tunable white | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| RGB | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ (color) |
| Non-dimmable | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ |
Important Considerations
Auto Mode Override
Manual adjustments using these gestures may temporarily override automatic sensor settings. The light will return to auto mode after the configured sensor delays expire.
Gesture Direction Matters
- Horizontal controls brightness
- Vertical controls color temperature
Mixing up directions may result in unexpected adjustments.
For More Precise Control
If you need finer control than gestures allow, use the advanced dimming settings page (long press on a light icon). This provides slider controls for precise adjustments.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Tap registers as swipe | Use a quicker, lighter tap |
| Swipe registers as tap | Keep finger moving in a smooth motion |
| Vertical swipe has no effect | Fixture may not be tunable white—check fixture type |
| Light doesn't respond | Verify light is online and within mesh range |

Advanced Dimming Settings
Overview
While quick gestures are convenient for fast adjustments, the Light Dimming settings page provides precise slider controls for fine-tuning individual fixtures. This article explains how to access advanced dimming controls and use them effectively.
Accessing the Dimming Page
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Long press (press and hold) on any light's icon.
- The Light Dimming settings page opens.
The controls displayed depend on the type of fixture you've selected. The app automatically detects your fixture type and shows the appropriate interface.
Dimming Interfaces by Fixture Type
Different fixture types display different control options:
Mono-Dimmable Fixtures
Available controls: Single brightness slider
Drag the slider left to dim, right to brighten. This is the simplest interface for standard dimmable fixtures.
Tunable White Fixtures
Available controls: Brightness slider + Color temperature slider
- Brightness slider: Adjusts light output level
- CCT slider: Adjusts color temperature from warm white (2700K) to cool white (6500K)
RGB Fixtures
Available controls: Brightness slider + Color selection
Select specific colors or use sliders to mix your desired hue.
RGBW Fixtures
Available controls: Brightness + Color + White channel
Independent control over RGB color mixing and dedicated white channel.
Two-Channel / Direct-Indirect Fixtures
Available controls: Separate slider for each channel
Independently control uplight and downlight (or two separate channels). This allows precise balancing between direct and indirect illumination.
Using Slider Controls
Adjusting Brightness
- Locate the brightness slider on the dimming page.
- Drag the slider slowly for precise control.
- Watch the fixture respond in real-time.
- Release when you reach the desired level.
Adjusting Color Temperature
For tunable white fixtures:
- Locate the CCT (color temperature) slider.
- Drag toward the warm end for relaxed, yellow-toned light.
- Drag toward the cool end for energizing, blue-toned light.
- The fixture adjusts immediately as you move the slider.
Reading Level Values
Current levels display as percentages, helping you set consistent levels across multiple fixtures. Note these values if you want to replicate settings on other lights.
Color Temperature Guide
| CCT Range | Description | Best Applications |

Deleting Lights from the Network
Overview
Sometimes you need to remove lights from your network—whether for reconfiguration, troubleshooting, or decommissioning. This article explains how to delete lights through the app and what happens to the fixtures afterward.
Before You Delete
Understand the following before deleting lights:
- Deletion resets fixtures: Deleted lights return to factory settings with all configurations erased
- Lights must be online: Only lights currently connected to the mesh can be deleted through the app
- Offline lights need power reset: If a light shows as offline, you must use the power reset sequence instead
Deleting Lights
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Tap the minus (-) button in the upper right corner to enter deletion mode.
- Each light now displays a checkbox.
- Tap the checkbox on each light you want to delete.
- The count of selected lights appears at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap the Delete button in the lower right corner.
- A confirmation dialog appears—tap Delete to confirm.
- The app sends the reset command to each selected light.
- Lights blink slowly three times to indicate successful reset.
- Deleted lights are removed from your zone list.
Selecting Multiple Lights
- Tap individual checkboxes to select specific lights
- Tap All to select all lights at once (useful when decommissioning an entire zone)
- The selection count at the bottom shows how many lights are selected
What Deletion Resets
When you delete a light, all of the following are erased:
| Setting | After Deletion |
|---|---|
| Zone membership | Removed |
| Light name | Reset to default |
| Group memberships | Cleared |
| Scene configurations | Cleared |
| Sensor parameters | Reset to defaults |
| Switch associations | Cleared |
| Schedule assignments | Cleared |
| Trim settings | Reset to 100% |
| Auto calibration | Cleared |
The light returns to its factory state and can be added to any zone as if it were new.
After Deletion
Once deleted, the light:
- Blinks slowly three times to confirm reset
- Returns to factory settings
- Appears in the "Not Added" list when scanning for new lights
- Can be recommissioned with new settings
- Can be added to a different zone
When Deletion Won't Work
Lights must be online and connected to receive deletion commands through the app. Deletion will not work if:
- The light is offline (not powered or out of range)
- The light is not connected to the mesh network
- The light is unpaired from the zone
For Offline Lights: Use Power Reset
If a light shows as offline, you must use the power reset sequence:
- Confirm all lights are off
- Turn on lights for 8 seconds, then off for 10 seconds
- Turn on briefly and off, wait 10 seconds—repeat 3 times
- Turn on for 8 seconds, off for 10 seconds—repeat 2 times
- Turn lights back on—blinking indicates successful reset
For detailed power reset instructions, see Restoring Factory Settings.
Flash Indications
| Pattern | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Slow flash 3× | Successfully deleted / factory reset |
| No response | Light may be offline—try power reset |
Deletion vs Power Reset
| Method | When to Use |
|---|---|
| App deletion | Light is online and responding to mesh commands |
| Power reset | Light is offline, unpaired, or unresponsive |
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Light doesn't appear in deletion list | Verify light is in current zone |
| Delete button doesn't respond | Ensure at least one light is selected |
| Light doesn't blink after deletion | Light may be offline—use power reset |
| Light still appears after deletion | Refresh the Lights page; if still present, retry deletion |
Important Considerations
- Deletion is permanent: All settings are erased—back up configurations if needed
- Update documentation: After deletion, update any records of groups, scenes, or configurations
- Deleted lights can be reused: Fixtures return to factory state and can be recommissioned
Quick Reference
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Enter deletion mode | Tap minus (-) button in upper right |
| 2. Select lights | Tap checkbox on each light, or tap "All" |
| 3. Confirm | Tap Delete → Confirm in dialog |
| 4. Verify | Watch for three slow blinks on fixture |

04 Sensor Configuration
Default Sensor Settings by Product
What this article covers
This article lists the factory default sensor parameter values that fixtures and controllers ship with, organized by product family. Use it as a baseline reference before adjusting settings for your space. For an explanation of what each parameter does and recommended values by space type, see Understanding Sensor Settings.
Overview
Every sensor-equipped device in the Keilton+autani system ships with a set of out-of-the-box default values. These defaults differ by product family—an integrated indoor sensor, a sensor-ready controller, a wet-location sensor, and a line-voltage ceiling sensor each start from a different baseline.
Knowing the defaults helps you:
- Understand how a device behaves before any configuration.
- Identify which parameters you've changed during commissioning.
- Predict device behavior after a factory reset.
Integrated & Sensor-Ready Devices
The table below covers integrated sensor fixtures, sensor-ready controllers, wet-location integrated sensors, and the PPA102S.
| Parameter | Integrated Sensors (IFS108, IFS105, EFS106, EFS104, IFS101) |
Sensor-Ready Controllers (FA102, WPPA102, PPA104S, WF20R) |
Integrated Sensors – Wet Location (EFS106-BH4-W, EFS106-Z10-W, EFS106-AUX-W) |
PPA102S |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Motion | ON | OFF | ON | OFF |
| Daylight harvesting | ON *¹ | OFF | N/A | N/A |
| T1 | 20 min | 20 min | 20 min | 20 min |
| T2 | 1 min | 1 min | Infinite | 1 min |
| Manual off override | Infinite | Infinite | Infinite | Infinite |
| Dim Level | 50% | 50% | 50% | 50% |
| Sensitivity | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
| Occupancy / Vacancy | Occupancy | Occupancy | Occupancy | Occupancy |
| Linkage | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF |
| Linkage level | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
| Photocell | N/A | N/A | ON | N/A |
| Photocell ON threshold | N/A | N/A | 5 FC (50 Lux) | N/A |
| Photocell OFF threshold | N/A | N/A | 55 FC (550 Lux) | N/A |
| High trim | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
| 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.
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Long press on a sensor-equipped light to open the Light Dimming page.
- Tap the Sensor Settings icon in the lower right corner.
- Adjust the parameters as needed.
- 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
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Long press on a sensor-equipped light to open the Light Dimming page.
- 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
Recommended Settings by Space Type
| Space | T1 | T2 | Dim Level | Mode |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open office | 20 min | 1 min | 50% | Occupancy |
| Meeting room | 20 min | 1 min | 80% | Occupancy |
| Classroom | 30-40 min | 5 min | 80% | Occupancy |
| Storage room | 10 min | 1 min | 30% | Occupancy |
| Corridor | 10 min | 1 min - Infinite | 30% | Occupancy |
| Restroom | 15 min | 1 min | 50% | Occupancy |
Linkage Light Level
What it does: When no movement is detected during T1, but other lights in the same group detect movement (with linkage enabled), lights dim to the linkage light level instead of following normal T2 behavior.
How it works: - Linkage level is a percentage of the working light level - Linkage can override T2 behavior - Useful for maintaining some light in adjacent areas
Quick Reference
| Parameter | Function | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | Full brightness hold time | 10-40 minutes |
| T2 | Dimmed warning phase | 1-5 min or Infinite |
| Dim Level | T2 brightness | 30-80% |
| Sensitivity | Motion detection range | Low to 100% |
| Mode | Auto-on behavior | Occupancy or Vacancy |
| Linkage Level | Brightness when group motion detected | 50-100% |

Configuring Motion Sensors
Overview
After understanding sensor parameters, you need to configure them for your specific installation. This article walks through enabling motion sensors, adjusting sensitivity, setting hold times, and using the local motion disable feature.
Accessing Motion Sensor Settings
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Long press on a sensor-equipped light.
- Tap the Sensor Settings icon in the lower right corner.
The sensor settings panel opens with all motion sensor controls.
Enabling and Disabling Motion Sensors
To Enable Motion Sensors
- Locate the Motion sensor toggle in the settings panel.
- Toggle it ON.
- The fixture now responds to detected motion according to your T1, T2, and dim level settings.
To Disable Motion Sensors
- Toggle the Motion sensor switch OFF.
- The fixture ignores motion entirely.
Use cases for disabling: - Fixtures where you want manual control only - Areas with persistent false triggers that cannot be resolved - Fixtures controlled exclusively via schedule or scene
Disabling Local Motion Only
In some situations, you want a fixture to participate in group linkage but not respond to its own sensor.
When to Use This Feature
- Near HVAC units that cause false triggers
- Near ceiling fans with moving air
- Where local sensor placement causes unreliable detection
- When the fixture should only respond to other sensors in its group
How to Configure
- In sensor settings, enable Motion sensors.
- Find the Disable local motion trigger option.
- Enable this setting.
- 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
- Locate the Sensitivity slider in sensor settings.
- Drag to adjust:
- 100% = Maximum detection range and responsiveness
- Lower values = Requires more deliberate motion to trigger
- 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)
- Locate the T1 setting.
- Adjust based on typical activity duration:
- Conference room: 20-30 minutes
- Storage room: 10 minutes
- Office: 20 minutes
- Tap Save.
Setting T2 (Warning Phase)
- Locate the T2 setting.
- Set the dimmed warning duration:
- 1 minute is typical for most spaces
- 5 minutes for spaces with longer activity
- 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:
- Tap the Save button in the upper right corner.
- 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

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
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Long press on a sensor-equipped light.
- Tap the Sensor Settings icon.
- Locate the Manual OFF Override time setting.
- Select the desired duration.
- 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
Recommended Settings by Application
| 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
- Photosensors in the fixture measure ambient light levels continuously
- As natural light increases, the fixture dims down
- As natural light decreases, the fixture brightens up
- The goal is maintaining a consistent light level on the work surface
Energy Savings
Spaces with good natural light can achieve 30-60% energy reduction during daylight hours. Savings depend on window orientation, time of year, and weather conditions.
Enabling Daylight Harvesting
Prerequisites
- Fixture must have a photosensor installed or connected
- Do NOT enable on fixtures without photosensors (causes erratic dimming)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Long press on a photosensor-equipped light.
- Tap the Sensor Settings icon.
- Locate the Daylight harvesting toggle and enable it.

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:
- Navigate to More → Auto Calibration
- Select the group to calibrate
- 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 |
Quick Reference
| Strategy | Response | Min Dim | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soft | Slow | 50% | Private offices, reception |
| Mild | Medium | 30% | Open offices, classrooms |
| Aggressive | Quick | Low-end trim | Utility, warehouse |
| Custom | Variable | Variable | Special requirements |

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
- Access photocell settings for the fixture.
- Select a preset ON threshold: 5 fc, 50 fc, or 100 fc.
- Lights cycle on and off to calculate OFF threshold.
- Wait for calibration to complete.
- Success message or rapid flash indicates result.
Using Custom Values
- Enter a custom ON threshold value.
- Tap Cal to calculate OFF threshold.
- Wait for calibration to complete.
Manual Setting
If auto-calibration fails or you prefer direct control:
- Enter desired ON threshold.
- Enter desired OFF threshold (at least 15 fc higher).
- 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 |
Quick Reference
| Action | Steps |
|---|---|
| Auto-calibrate (preset) | Select 5fc/50fc/100fc button |
| Auto-calibrate (custom) | Enter ON value → Tap Cal |
| Manual set | Enter ON → Enter OFF → Tap Send |

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
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Long press on the sensor-ready controller.
- Tap the Sensor Settings icon.
- Enable Motion sensors toggle.
- Configure sensor parameters:
- T1 (first time delay)
- T2 (second time delay)
- Dim level
- Sensitivity
- If photosensor is connected, enable Daylight harvesting.
- 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
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Long press on the sensor-ready controller.
- Tap the Sensor Settings icon.
- Enable Motion sensors toggle.
- Disable Daylight harvesting (important—no photosensor connected).
- Configure T1, T2, and dim level as desired.
- Tap Save.
- Add the controller to a group with sensor-equipped fixtures (see Groups documentation).
- 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
- Power off the fixture.
- Locate the sensor connector on the controller.
- Connect the Eco-Sensor cable.
- Secure the connection.
- Power on the fixture.
After Connection
- Add the fixture to your zone (if not already added).
- Enable sensor features in the app.

- 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 |

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
- Navigate to the Groups page.
- Tap the + button in the top left corner.
- Enter a descriptive name for your group (e.g., "Conference Room A" or "East Corridor").
- Tap OK to create the group.
- Select which lights belong to this group by tapping the checkbox on each light.
- Use the filter buttons to find lights:
- All: Shows every light in the zone
- Member: Shows lights already in this group
- Ungrouped: Shows lights not assigned to any group
- 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
- Navigate to the Groups page.
- Tap on the group you want to rename.
- Tap on the group name at the top of the screen.
- Enter the new name.
- Tap OK to save.
The group is renamed throughout the app immediately.
Deleting a Group
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Navigate to the Groups page.
- Find the group you want to delete.
- Swipe from right to left across the group's row.
- Tap the red Delete button.
- 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.

- Tap the checkbox to deselect them (checkmark disappears).
- 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 |

Multiple Group Linkage
Overview
Linkage allows lights within a group to communicate with each other. When one sensor detects motion, other linked lights in the group can respond—typically at a reduced brightness level. This creates intelligent, coordinated lighting that follows occupants through a space while saving energy.
What Is Linkage?
Linkage enables lights in the same group to share motion status:
- When one light's sensor detects motion, that light turns on at 100%
- Other linked lights in the group turn on at the linkage light level (a reduced percentage)
- This provides ambient light in adjacent areas without full brightness
Example
In an open office: 1. Person walks near Light A, triggering its sensor 2. Light A turns to 100% 3. Lights B, C, and D (linked in the same group) turn to 50% (linkage level) 4. As the person moves to Light B, it goes to 100%, and Light A eventually dims
Linkage and T2 Override
Linkage can override normal T2 behavior:
| Scenario | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Normal T2 | After T1 expires, light dims to T2 dim level |
| With linkage | If another light in group detects motion during T1, light dims to linkage level instead |
This means linkage level takes precedence over T2 dim level when group activity is detected.
Enabling Linkage
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Navigate to the Groups page.
- Select the group you want to configure.
- Tap the Linkage button.
- Toggle linkage ON for this group.
- 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
- Access the linkage settings for your group.
- Locate the linkage brightness slider.
- Drag to set the desired level:
- 100% = Linked lights turn fully on
- 50% = Linked lights dim to half brightness
- 30% = Linked lights provide low ambient level
- Tap Save Linkage Brightness to apply to all members.
Recommended Linkage Levels
| 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
- Add the "boundary" light to both Group A and Group B
- Enable linkage for both groups
- The light responds to motion detected in either group
- Ensure the light is in a logical physical position (typically at the boundary)
Caution
- Don't overuse multiple membership—it can create confusion
- Document which lights belong to multiple groups
- Test thoroughly to ensure expected behavior
Enabling Linkage: Complete Checklist
- Create group with appropriate member lights
- Enable motion sensors on all members (even those without physical sensors)
- Enable linkage for the group
- Set appropriate linkage level
- Tap Save Linkage Brightness
- Test by triggering one sensor and observing linked lights
Linkage Behavior Summary
| Event | Light A (motion detected) | Other Linked Lights |
|---|---|---|
| Motion at Light A | 100% working level | Linkage level |
| T1 expires, no motion | Enters T2 | May dim to linkage or T2 |
| Motion at Light B | Linkage level | Light B at 100% |
| No motion in group | T2 → Off sequence | T2 → Off sequence |
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Linkage not working | Motion not enabled | Enable motion sensors on all members |
| Some lights don't respond | Not in group | Add lights to group |
| Linkage level wrong | Settings not saved | Save linkage brightness again |
| Unexpected behavior | Multiple group conflict | Review group memberships |
Quick Reference
| Action | Steps |
|---|---|
| Enable linkage | Groups → Select group → Linkage → Toggle ON |
| Set linkage level | Linkage settings → Adjust slider → Save |
| Multiple groups | Add light to both groups → Enable linkage on both |

Activating Auto Mode for Groups
Overview
Auto mode puts your lights under sensor control—responding automatically to motion and ambient light conditions. This article explains how to enable Auto mode for groups, configure group-level daylight harvesting, and understand when to use automatic vs. manual control.
What Is Auto Mode?
When lights are in Auto mode:
- Motion sensors turn lights on when people are present
- Motion sensors turn lights off when T1/T2 timers expire
- Daylight harvesting adjusts brightness based on natural light (if enabled)
- Light levels are determined by sensors, not manual settings
Auto Mode Indicator
Lights in Auto mode display an "A" on their icon. This tells you at a glance that the light level is being automatically controlled.
Auto Mode vs. Manual Control
| Aspect | Auto Mode | Manual Control |
|---|---|---|
| Light level | Sensor-determined | User-specified |
| Responds to motion | Yes | Returns to Auto after timers |
| Daylight harvesting | Active (if enabled) | Suspended |
| Energy savings | Maximum | Varies |
| Best for | Daily operation | Special events, presentations |
When you manually adjust a light (via app, switch, or scene), it temporarily leaves Auto mode. It returns to Auto mode after the sensor timers expire or when you explicitly set it back to Auto.
Enabling Auto Mode for a Group
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Navigate to the Groups page.
- Find the group you want to configure.
- Tap the Auto button next to the group name.
- All lights in the group switch to Auto mode.
- 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
- Navigate to the Groups page.
- Tap the Dimming button on your group.
- Tap the sensor icon in the bottom right corner.
- Enable Daylight harvesting.
- Select a strategy (Soft, Mild, Aggressive, or Custom).
- 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
- Run auto calibration: Improves daylight harvesting accuracy
- Set appropriate timers: Match T1/T2 to space usage patterns
- Use linkage: Provides ambient light in adjacent areas
- Review periodically: Adjust settings as usage patterns change
- 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) |

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
- Navigate to the Discover page, then tap Switches.
- Tap on the switch you want to configure.
- Tap the Settings button in the upper right corner.
- Select Lights to view available lights.
- All lights in your zone are displayed.
- Tap on the light you want to associate.
- 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.):
- Open the switch settings
- Review the associations
- Save the switch settings again
This ensures the switch has current information about the light.
Association Guidelines
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Control one fixture | Associate single light |
| Control multiple fixtures | Use groups; bind the group to the switch via Associating Scenes and Groups to Switches |
| Different levels for fixtures | Use scenes; associate scenes to the switch as needed |
| Area-based control | Associate groups |
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light doesn't respond | Not associated | Complete association process |
| Wrong light responds | Wrong selection | Re-associate correct light |
| Dimming not working | Button function | Check button configuration |
| Intermittent response | Range/mesh issues | Check mesh connectivity |
Quick Reference
| Action | Steps |
|---|---|
| Associate light | Discover → Switches → Tap switch → Settings → Lights → Select light |
| Test association | Press switch buttons, verify response |
| Update | Re-save switch settings after light changes |

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
- Create a template with your desired settings
- Save the template locally on your device
- Apply the template to groups that need those settings
- The app sends all parameters to each light in the group
- 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
Quick Reference
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| What | Reusable configuration sets |
| Contains | Sensor parameters, DLH, photocell, scenes, schedules |
| Storage | Local on mobile device |
| Sharing | Export/import as files |
| Application | Applied to groups |

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:
- In the template editor, tap Add Scene.
- Configure the scene name and settings.
- Define light levels for the scene.
- 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:
- In the template editor, tap Add Schedule.
- Configure schedule name, timing, and actions.
- Define what happens when the schedule triggers.
- Save the schedule.
When the template is applied, these schedules are created for the group.
Updating an Existing Template
Step-by-Step Instructions
- On the template management page, tap the template you want to edit.
- The template opens for editing.
- Modify any parameters as needed.
- Add or remove scenes and schedules.
- Update the name if appropriate.
- 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
- On the template management page, locate the template to delete.
- Swipe left on the template row.
- Tap the Delete button.
- 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
- Test before rollout: Apply template to one group first, verify settings, then deploy widely.
- Document your templates: Keep a record of what each template contains and where it's applied.
- Use Skip strategically: Only configure settings you want to standardize.
- Version your templates: When updating, consider creating a new version rather than overwriting.
- Export regularly: Back up important templates by exporting them.

| Completion message | Process finished |
Handling Failures
If some lights fail to receive settings:
- Note which lights failed in the log
- Tap Apply settings again to retry
- If failures persist, check mesh connectivity
- Move closer to failed lights and retry
- 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
- Navigate to the Lights page.
- Long press on a light from the group.
- Tap the Sensor Settings icon.
- Confirm T1, T2, dim level, and other parameters match the template.

- 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 | Brightness during T2 |
| Daylight Harvesting | Automatic dimming based on ambient light |
| Manual OFF Override | Override behavior after manual off |
These settings work similarly to integrated fixture sensors.
Choosing Trigger/Hold Modes
PIR Only
- Use when: Air movement causes false triggers
- Behavior: Only body heat activates/maintains lights
- Trade-off: May miss small seated movements
Ultrasonic Only
- Use when: Detecting small movements is critical
- Behavior: Sound wave detection activates/maintains lights
- Trade-off: More sensitive to HVAC air movement
PIR + Ultrasonic (Both Required)
- Use when: False triggers are a major problem
- Behavior: Both technologies must detect motion
- Trade-off: May be slow to respond
PIR or Ultrasonic (Either Works)
- Use when: Maximum coverage is needed
- Behavior: Either technology activates/maintains lights
- Trade-off: More potential for false triggers
After Configuration
After binding the sensor to a group:
- Navigate to the Groups page.
- Enable Linkage for the associated group.
- If linkage was already enabled, disable and re-enable it.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| False triggers | Ultrasonic too sensitive | Switch to PIR only or reduce sensitivity |
| Missing small movements | PIR only mode | Add ultrasonic to trigger/hold |
| Slow response | Both required mode | Switch to "PIR or Ultrasonic" |
| No response | Sensitivity too low | Increase sensitivity |

12 Auto Mode
Auto Mode Calibration
Overview
Auto mode lets sensors control your light levels automatically. For optimal performance, calibration teaches the system how to maintain comfortable light levels while accounting for daylight. This article covers both auto calibration and manual setting methods.
Why Calibrate?
When daylight enters a space, the photosensor sees ambient light plus fixture light combined. Without calibration, the sensor cannot distinguish between them, leading to incorrect dimming decisions.
Benefits of Calibration
- Removes ambient light interference
- Provides precise daylight harvesting
- Maintains desired light level on work surfaces
- Maximizes energy savings
Working Light Level
The Working Light Level is the brightness your lights maintain when: - Auto mode is active - Motion is detected - Calibration determines this level
Calibration Methods
| Method | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Auto Calibration | Self-learning process with light cycling | Standard installations |
| Manual Setting | Direct level configuration | Problem situations, night-only setup |
Auto Calibration
Auto calibration is the recommended method. The system runs a self-learning process where lights cycle on and off to measure the environment.
Running Auto Calibration
- Navigate to More → Auto Calibration.
- Select a group to calibrate.
- Adjust calibration parameters as desired.
- Tap Start.
- Lights will cycle on/off 4-8 times.
- Do not interfere with lights during this process.
- 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 |

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
- Navigate to More page.
- Tap Trim Settings.
- Select Lights or Groups tab.
- Choose specific lights or groups to adjust.
Setting High-End Trim
Step-by-Step Instructions

|---|---|
| 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
- Select the light or group.
- Adjust the low-end trim slider.
- Tap Send to apply.
Recommended Values
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
- Select the light or group.
- Adjust the daylight min dim slider.
- 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 |

When to Reset
| Scenario | Reason |
|---|---|
| Recommissioning | Moving fixture to different zone |
| Troubleshooting | Clearing persistent issues |
| Control transfer | New system taking over |
| Configuration errors | Starting fresh |
| Decommissioning | Removing from service |
What Gets Cleared
| Setting | Cleared |
|---|---|
| Sensor parameters | ✓ |
| Group memberships | ✓ |
| Scene associations | ✓ |
| Schedule assignments | ✓ |
| Network connection | ✓ |
| Trim settings | ✓ |
| Auto calibration | ✓ |
| Switch bindings | ✓ |
Method 1: Delete from App
Use when: Lights are connected to the app
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Navigate to Lights page.
- Tap the minus (-) button in upper right.
- Select lights to reset by tapping checkboxes.
- (Optional) Tap All to select all lights.
- Tap Delete in lower right corner.
- Confirm by tapping Delete in dialog.
- 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
- Set FL30 to strobe mode
- Point at fixture photosensor
- Hold for 6 seconds
- Light flashes to confirm reset
See Flashlight Reset Configuration for details.
After Reset
Once reset is complete:
- Fixture is in factory default state
- Ready for fresh commissioning
- Will appear as "factory setting" in Nearby Lights
- All previous configurations cleared
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No flash after delete | Light offline | Use power reset |
| Power reset not working | Timing incorrect | Use longer OFF intervals |
| Can't delete from app | Light not connected | Use power reset |
| Reset didn't clear settings | Incomplete sequence | Repeat power reset |
Quick Reference
| Method | Steps |
|---|---|
| Delete from app | Lights → - → Select → Delete → Confirm |
| Power reset | ON 8s, OFF 10s, (ON/OFF 10s)×3, (ON 8s/OFF 10s)×2, ON |
| FL30 reset | Strobe mode → Point at sensor → 6 seconds |
