Automate Lighting with Astro Schedule

Lighting control that adapts with the day’s natural rhythm brings a whole new level of automation, efficiency, and ease. With Lumos Controls’ Astro Schedule feature, lighting can automatically respond to the cycles of sunrise, sunset, and nighttime, creating a seamless blend between natural and artificial lighting.

Astro Schedule leverages astronomical timing, making it possible for lighting systems to respond to precise sunset and sunrise times based on your location. Whether it's brightening up a space at sunset, dimming lights at night to conserve energy, or switching off at sunrise, Astro Schedule optimizes the lighting setup without manual intervention.

The Enor E gateway is at the heart of Astro Schedule, connecting the system with precise sunrise and sunset timings based on the location. It enables smooth and accurate lighting adjustments without manual input, allowing for tailored lighting responses to natural light cycles.

Astro Schedule offers three primary settings that adapt lighting to natural light transitions:

Sunset, Sunrise, and Nighttime 

Configurations

Astro Schedule operates seamlessly within the Lumos Controls ecosystem, powered by Enor E gateway.

Enor E enables these high-level configurations with ease, allowing the lighting to align smoothly with day-to-night transitions.
