Discovering Unconfigured Devices

NOTE: Before proceeding, make sure all of your lighting controllers are properly installed and power is applied.

You can click the Unconfigured Devices icon on the Devices & Zones page to perform a "census" of the unconfigured SimplySNAP devices on your channel and network ID. These devices will appear in a list to provide you with an easy way to configure them.

If you are adding several devices in this manner, we recommend that you perform the census two or three times to ensure that all devices were discovered.

To perform a census of unconfigured devices:

  1. Click the Devices & Zones menu choice in the left menu panel, then click the Census Icon.
  2. Click the Start Census button at the top of the screen. SimplySNAP will begin to search for unconfigured devices in your network.
  3. If unconfigured devices are discovered, you will be presented with a list of the devices. To add a device to your network, click the Add Device button to the left of the device you wish to add. The new device will appear in a pane on the Devices & Zones page.

NOTE: If the lighting controller does not automatically identify its type as part of the census, you can manually select the proper type using the drop-down menu.

  1. Once the device is loaded, you can edit it as you would any other device. For more information on editing devices, see Working with Lights, Sensors, Zones, and Scenes
