Introduction to light control

With the Multisite system, the light control is handled for each format separately. A retailer can have multiple formats under several banners. Formats are physical/design characteristics of the site, for example XL, super centers, garden centers, city formats, etcetera.

msm CtrlConcepts Light concepts

With Concepts you define for each scene the actual light settings (dim level and, if applicable, also color) at each logical channel. Once defined, a particular scene can easily be recalled or triggered for an entire area.

You can start a new concept from scratch or clone an already created or deployed concept. When starting from scratch, all light levels for the areas are set to zero (0). Cloning a concept saves time since the light levels are copied from the original concept to a new draft.

msm CtrlSchedule Schedules

To automate the behavior of the lighting system, you can specify Schedules. A schedule defines for each separate area the times that specific scenes are activated over the course of a 24-hour cycle.

You can start a new schedule from scratch or clone an already created or deployed schedule. When starting from scratch, an empty schedule will be created. Cloning a schedule saves time since the scene calls are copied from the original schedule to a new draft.

msm CtrlDeploy Deployments

After creating concepts and schedules, these are available for usage on a site. When you deploy, you push a concept and schedule from the cloud to the local gateway of the site that will apply it in the local light system.
