Lighting Systems

Before adding lights in the Lights layer, you must provide a way to switch or dim them with a lighting system. The lighting system is in turn connected to the Domain Controller - either directly or through additional ports.

 

Select the Lighting Systems layer of the Design Module.

 

 

 

 

Click in the location in the room in which you plan to install the Lighting System.

 

You will get a pop up menu that defaults to adding the Lutron Homeworks lighting system on the 1st serial port available.

 

Use the "Type" dropdown box to select a different lighting system. Your choices are:

 

 

Lutron Homeworks
  • For the "Type", select "Lutron HWI".

  • You can name it whatever you want, but the default name is usually a good choice.

  • Select the serial port you would like to have control it.

  • Click OK and the system has been added.
