Control

The Control view makes it easy to quickly turn your Zones on and off, dim, and set Scenes.

Area List

On the left is a list of all the Areas in your Site. You can search for specific Areas and Zones in the search bar. Click on an Area to see the Zones within it.

Zone List

A list of all the Zones in the currently selected Area. Each Zone has an on/off switch control, and if the Zone has dimming enabled, a dimming control. The 'lightning bolt' icon indicates that this Zone is using active power measurement.

Scene Selector

Clicking on the Scene Selector button opens a window where you can activate scenes that pertain to the current Area. Click a scene to activate it. The 'Demand' rating indicates how many watts the scene will use if activated. Click "Edit" or "Manage Scenes" to go to the Scenes view for further Scene management.

Energy Usage

"Current Demand" indicates how many watts the current Area is using now. The lightning bolt icon indicates that all Zones in this area are using active power measurement, so you can be sure that the total is accurate. If one or more Zones are not collecting power measurements, a warning icon will appear, indicating that the total may not be accurate.

"Energy Usage" provides a simplified glance at power usage over the past week, compared with usage for the previous week. Click "View All" to see the full Energy view.
