Steps to implement Daylight harvesting

Created by Nishin Menon, Modified on Thu, 18 Jan at 5:56 AM by Nishin Menon

  1. Install light devices and daylight sensors in the location where you want to implement Daylight harvesting
  2. Commission the installed light devices and daylight sensors
  3. Schedule the daylight sensor
  4. Configure settings for the daylight sensor to define how it should send trigger on detecting the ambient light
  5. Configure the daylight harvesting mode for the sensor:
    1. Open Loop- Open Loop mode can be chosen to control larger areas with multiple adjacent control zones in dimming applications (e.g., an open office). To learn more, click here
    2. Closed Loop- In Closed Loop mode, the daylight sensor will be configured with a particular light level (in 'Lux' or 'V') using any of the three Closed loop methods. The aim is to maintain this light level. To learn more, click here
    3. Custom- Custom mode can be chosen as the daylight harvesting mode if the requirement is to activate a scene when daylight sensor detects an ambient light level. To learn more, click here
  6. Associate the daylight sensor to the light device that should respond to the daylight sensor trigger
  7. Configure settings for the light device to define how it should respond to the daylight sensor triggers
  8. Add the light devices and the daylight sensor to a group if you want multiple light devices to respond to the daylight sensor triggers
  9. Configure Daylight sensor settings for the group to define how a group of lights should respond to the daylight sensor triggers
