Working with Lights, Sensors, Zones, and Scenes

Editing a Light or Sensor Setting

To edit a light or sensor, search for the corresponding panel on the SimplySNAP dashboard, and click the Gear icon in the lower right corner of the panel.

NOTE: Using the search field provides an efficient way of finding the specific light or zone of interest. Simply start typing any unique identifiers for the light or zone and the display will immediately update with the relevant results.

NOTE: When editing a light, it can be positioned or repositioned on the Map view by dragging and dropping it on the map view on the right of the Edit Light page.

Editing Zone Settings

To edit a Zone's settings, click the Gear icon in the panel for the zone you wish to edit.

Adding Lights to Zones

A light can belong to multiple zones, and will be affected by each command issued to any zone that the light is a member of. Adding a single light to a zone can be accomplished from the panel of the corresponding light or zone. If you plan to add multiple lights to a zone, it's easiest to accomplish from the panel for the zone.

If you need to add lights to a number of zones, it may be easier to import a .CSV file. For more information on doing this, see Backing up and restoring a system configuration
