Go to the 'Groups' list
Click on the icon of the group that should respond to the daylight sensor triggers
Associate a daylight sensor with the group. Learn more
Click on the option 'Group Automation Settings' and choose 'Daylight Sensor Settings'
Minimum Dim Level-Closed Loop
1. Configure an intensity value below which the electric lights should not be dimmed while trying to maintain a configured light level
2. With a non-zero value configured as the minimum dim level, the electric lights will never be turned off even if the sensor detects a light level greater than the light level configured for it
3. This value will be applicable to the light device only when the associated daylight sensor is configured in Closed Loop
Daylight Gain -Open Loop
1. Configure daylight gain to determine how much the lights will dim based on their distance from the daylight source
2. The default value will be 100% and can be configured between 0-100%
3. This value will be applicable to the light device only when the associated daylight sensor is configured in Open Loop
Manual Override
1. Enable the manual override option and configure a time duration during which sensor triggers should not be considered by the devices
2. The default value for this is 30 min and can be configured between 0-254 min
  
  For example, The manual override option is enabled for a device and is configured with a duration of 20 min. Consider that a device is currently maintaining an intensity of 100% on receiving a daylight sensor trigger. While the device is being controlled based on the sensor trigger, a user turns OFF the device manually using the mobile/web app or a switch. Though the daylight sensor sends a trigger to the device requesting it to maintain 100% intensity, the device will not consider sensor triggers and will be in OFF state for 20 min. After 20 min, if the daylight sensor sends a trigger, the device will go to 100% intensity
