# Lightcloud Controller

## Overview <a href="#lightcloudcontroller-overview" id="lightcloudcontroller-overview"></a>

The **Lightcloud Controller** is a remotely controlled switching and 0-10V dimming interface. The Controller features wireless control and configuration, switching up to 20A, 0-10V dimming, power monitoring and more.

Lightcloud Controllers are configured and controlled via the Lightcloud web or mobile application. At least one **Lightcloud Gateway** must be installed to communicate with a Controller.

### Configuration <a href="#lightcloudcontroller-configuration" id="lightcloudcontroller-configuration"></a>

All configuration of Lightcloud products may be performed using the Lightcloud web or mobile application, by calling RAB at 1 (844) LIGHTCLOUD (544-4825), or by emailing <support@lightcloud.com>.

## Functionality <a href="#lightcloudcontroller-functionality" id="lightcloudcontroller-functionality"></a>

### Operating Modes <a href="#lightcloudcontroller-operatingmodes" id="lightcloudcontroller-operatingmodes"></a>

#### Controller

Provides switching and dimming for a single zone.

#### Trigger

Detect when an attached circuit is open or closed. For example, you could attach the Controller in Trigger mode to an existing occupancy sensor to allow your Lightcloud system to react to the sensor.

#### Repeater

Disables zone control and power measurement, and extends the range of your network.

### Power Measurement <a href="#lightcloudcontroller-powermeasurement" id="lightcloudcontroller-powermeasurement"></a>

The Lightcloud Controller is capable of measuring the power usage of the attached circuit. In order to utilize this function, the neutral wire of the load must be connected to the white-red sense wire. If the Switched Neutral line cannot be used, it should be tied to the regular neutral wires (i.e. all neutral wires joined).

### Power Loss Detection <a href="#lightcloudcontroller-powerlossdetection" id="lightcloudcontroller-powerlossdetection"></a>

If mains power to the Controller is lost, the device will detect this and alert the Lightcloud application.

### Emergency Default <a href="#lightcloudcontroller-emergencydefault" id="lightcloudcontroller-emergencydefault"></a>

If communication is lost, the Controller may optionally fall back to a specific state, such as turning the attached circuit on.
