Adding Scenes
A scene is a grouping of zones, with specified behaviors for each of those zones. This allows you to issue commands to a number of lights where each light is at a different brightness or activation method. For scenes to be useful, you must first group lights into zones, and the scene will issue instructions via those zones.
To add a scene access the SimplySNAP dashboard and then click the Scenes menu choice in the Left Menu Bar.
NOTE: A scene can control up to eight zones.
To add a Scene:
- Click the Add Scene button at the top left of the screen.
- Enter a Name and Description for the Scene in the fields provided.
- Click the Add New icon underneath the Zone & Behaviors heading.
- Click the Select Zones button, then click the check box for the zone you wish to assign a behavior to.
- Click the Behavior drop-down and select the behavior that will be activated on the selected zones with the scene is invoked. This behavior is configured the same way as the individual light behaviors outlined in the Behaviors Table. (For more information on behaviors, see Adding Sensors and Switches)
- If you wish to have the scene affect other zones, click the Add New icon again, and repeat steps 4 and 5 until you've defined behaviors for each of the zones you wish to affect.
- Click the Create Scene button to create the scene, or the Cancel button to exit without creating the scene.
