A scene can make a room more suitable for different activities. For example, when giving a presentation in a conference room, you can turn off the lights in front of the screen so that it is more visible. You might dim or turn off the lights around the edges of the room, and set brighter lights above those who need to take notes. A maximum of six scenes can be created and saved as a scene template.
You can create new scenes to control the light levels for a group of fixtures. The following two programmed scenes are available:
- All On – Sets the light level to 100% or to the current value of "Max Light Level when on" for fixtures controlled by the switch. See Understanding Profile Basic Attributes for Max Light Level when on.
- All Off – Sets the light level to 0% (off) for all fixtures controlled by the switch.
Two programmed scenes can't be deleted or edited, so they are not listed in the Scene list under the Scene tab. To set the light level for fixtures, create additional scenes. All fixtures controlled by a switch will respond when you activate a scene.
Configure Scene
To access the New UI, toggle the New User Experience button. If you do not see the toggle button to switch between the New UI and Classic UI, please contact
Enlighted Support to enable the toggle button in your Manage application.
To configure a scene for a Switch Group in the New UI,
- Click Facilities in the left navigation pane and select a floor.
- Click on the Groups tab. The Switch, Motion, and Daylight Groups are displayed in the right pane. In addition, the floor map shows Switch, Motion, and Daylight groups identified and grouped by color on the floor map.
- Select the Switch Group in the right panel and click on the three ellipsis dots next to the Switch Group name.
- Click Configure scenes. The Configure Scene window appears.
- Click Create.
- Type a Scene Name for the new scene and click Create. This closes the popup, adding the new scene to the Scene dropdown list.
Setting the Fixture Light Levels for a Scene
After the scene has been created, the light level for the fixtures is saved from the profile or set to the same light level as other fixtures in the group. However, if you still need to change the light levels for the fixtures, follow the steps below.
- In the Configure Scene window, select a scene from the Scene dropdown list.
- Select sensors on the floor plan that most likely have the same Light Level. You can select multiple sensors from the floor plan, or the list of sensors displayed in the right pane.
- Adjust the light level using the Off/On slider. The Light Level for the selected fixture is updated in the Light Level column in the table as you drag the slider.
- Continue selecting sensors and adjusting the light levels for the scene. Click Apply to save the changes.
Configuring Tunable White: For fixtures with sensor firmware version 5.4 or lower, skip this step if the Color Value is not displayed. If the Color Value shows up, read the Configuring Tunable White - Recommended Prerequisites to ensure that all prerequisites are met before tuning the fixtures for Tunable White.
-
- Adjust the Tunable White color value for the fixture by dragging the slider from a warm-white to cool-white temperature in the Color Value box. The color value is updated in the Color column of the fixture table. For non-tunable white sensors, the value for Color Temperature appears as NA. Refer to the article Adjusting the Color Temperature for a Sensor with Firmware Version Below 5.3.
- Continue selecting fixtures and light levels to set color values for the scene.
Changing the Order of Scenes
The order of scenes in the scene name dropdown is the same order of the scenes on the ERC switch when the ERC's Scenes button is pressed. Set or change the order of the scene by clicking the scene Order - Minus or Plus symbol.
For example, if the scene 'All_20' is set to be fourth in the order, the scene will appear when the ERC Scene button is pressed four times.
Test a Scene
After creating a scene, Test allows you to test the scene without a physical switch.
Click Test, and observe the lights to determine if the desired light level effect has been achieved until the Test scene changes to End Test. If not, then select the sensors and readjust their light levels.
Rename Scene
To rename a scene,
- Select the required scene from the Scene dropdown and Click Rename.
- Type a new Name for the selected scene. The Save button is enabled if the same name does not exist.
- Click Save to save the changes.
Delete a Scene
To delete a scene,
- Select the required scene from the Scene dropdown.
- Click Delete. Delete Scene pop up appears displaying a confirmation message.
- Click OK to delete the selected scene.
