Importing and Exporting Light Configurations using a .CSV File
When you've configured all of your lighting equipment, you should immediately back up the light configurations to a .CSV file should you ever need to restore them. The ability to import and export .CSV files can also be helpful when you need to make a large number of changes to the lighting configuration.
To export a lighting configuration to a .CSV file:
- Log in to the SimplySNAP web interface, and click the Lights and Sensors menu item under Devices in the navigation menu.
- Click the Export Lights button at the top of the screen, then click the Export CSV button. A .CSV file of your lighting configuration will be saved to your downloads folder.
In the event you need to make a large number of changes to your lighting configuration, it may be easier to export the configuration, alter the .CSV file in a text editor or spreadsheet, and then import the altered .CSV file to record the changes.
