First time Casambi App use

When first taking devices into use they need to be added to a network. One device can only be part of one network. A device that is part of a network is paired’ and cannot be added to any other network unless it is first unpaired’. i.e., removed from the network. All Casambi devices are normally supplied in an unpaired state. If a brand-new device is already paired, please contact your supplier or look for advice in the FAQ section of our website knowledge base (https://support.casambi.com/support/home).

1. Download the Casambi app from Apple App Store or Google Play Store. 2. Switch on your Casambi-enabled devices and open the Casambi app. 3. The app will search for all powered Casambi-enabled devices within Bluetooth range of your mobile
device. These will then be displayed in a list with the options Take into use or Add individually to… a. Take into use will prompt you to create a new network (or add to an existing one). The network should be a Classic or Evolution type. Only Casambi devices with the same firmware type as the network can be added (See Create a network section of this user guide for more information). Once the network is created all devices will automatically be added (paired) to it. b. Add individually to… will prompt you to create a new network (or add to an existing one). The network should be a Classic or Evolution type. Only Casambi devices with the same firmware type as the network can be added (See Create a network section of this user guide for more information). Once a network is created, each luminaire will identify (flash) one by one and can be added to the network. (See Add devices section of this guide for more information). During this process you can also decide to rename and group luminaires if desired.
4. It is recommended that a new network is shared using the Administrator only setting. See Create new network section for further details on network creation.
5. When devices have been added to a network you can control and program them from the app.

IMPORTANT: For an Unshared network, never delete it or delete and reinstall the Casambi app without first sharing the network, or unpairing all the devices. Failure to do this will result in devices being visible but uncontrollable. See the section Deleting a network for more information.

The app has four tabs: Luminaires, Gallery, Scenes and More. All of these will be covered in this user guide. All luminaires in the same network can be easily controlled from the Luminaires tab. Other devices appear in the relevant section of the More tab.

Additional help texts are shown below most configurable options to clarify the purpose of each setting. There is

also an additional Help option in the More tab. A general help button many screens. This can be disabled in the App settings.

Luminaires tab

Luminaires that are paired to your network will be displayed in the Luminaires tab. Each will have an icon picture and a name. Luminaires that are online (i.e., powered) will also show a bar indicating the current brightness level and light colour.
Luminaire or Group icons shown in the Luminaires tab can be rearranged by tapping Edit selecting and holding the icon and then dragging it to a different position. Release the icon when it is in its new position. Tap on Done when finished.
Basic Gestures
The basic gestures used to control the luminaires are: · Tap the luminaire icon to turn the luminaire on or off. · Pan left or right on the luminaire icon to adjust the luminaire light level. The app remembers the set level so, if you turn the luminaire on, off and on again using the tap gesture, it will return to that level. · Pan up or down on the luminaire icon to adjust the colour temperature of a tuneable white luminaire. · Push and hold the luminaire icon to open the main adjustable parameters. · For colour changing luminaires, you can set the desired colour. It is possible to save your favourite colours to the palette. Set the colour and then select and hold an empty palette space to save it. The colour palette cannot be reset but saved colours can be overridden with new colours. · If your luminaire supports more than one channel, you can adjust the channels separately.
Tip: Use the same gestures on the All luminaires icon to control all your luminaires simultaneously or use the Nearby luminaires icon to only control those devices within range of your mobile device.

Grouping

Grouping is a method of organizing luminaire icons in the Luminaires tab. This can make it easier to find the correct luminaires later (especially if you have a large network). Groups can be considered physical collections of luminaires in an area (e.g., all luminaires in a row or in one room). One luminaire can only be part of one group. You can name groups and set common dim levels, colour, or colour temperature for all luminaires in a group.
Groups are predominantly intended for manual control, whereas scenes are designed primarily for automation. See the Scenes section for more information.
Creating and editing a group
There are two ways to create a group: 1. Select Group (top left of the screen). Select the luminaires for the group by tapping on them. The + / ­ icons (top right) can be used to select or deselect all luminaires that are not already in another group. Create the group by tapping on the folder icon . Name the group. Tap Add a new group. Tap Done to save the changes. 2. Select Edit at the top of the screen. Drag luminaire icons on top of each other to create a group. Double tap on the group to open it. Tap on the Group name to rename it. Tap Done to save the changes.
To add more luminaires to a group, select Edit and then drag and drop luminaire icons into the relevant group.
If you want to edit a group, select Edit and then the group to open it for editing. You can rename the group or remove luminaires by dragging and dropping them outside the group area. When you have finished editing the group, select Done and Close.
If you want to remove a group, select Edit or Group and then select the “X” in the corner of the group icon. This will remove the group and the luminaires will appear again as individual devices in the Luminaires tab.
Using a group
You can control all luminaires in a group simultaneously by using the same basic app gestures on the relevant group icon. You can also still control individual luminaires separately, even if they are part of a group. Double tap on the group to open it. You can then use the basic gestures on individual luminaires.

Resume automation (for all luminaires or a Group of luminaires)
The @ symbol that appears in the bottom left of the luminaires tab when Control hierarchy is active, allows automatic control to be resumed for luminaires that have been under manual control. i.e. If you have used a switch to manually activate a scene, the Resume automation option will disable that scene and allow the luminaires to be controlled by sensors or timers; in other words the “automatic” functionality of the system will be restored.
Pressing @ will open a popup window asking you to confirm that you wish to Resume automation. Pressing @ when a luminaire Group is open will only resume automation for luminaires in that group only. In other cases it will apply to all luminaires in the network
Editing luminaire control properties
To edit individual luminaire control properties, double tap on the luminaire icon you want to edit or tap Edit at the top of the screen and select the luminaire to edit. A separate window then shows the configurable properties. Note that the available options list may vary depending on the used Casambi- enabled device.
INFORMATION Within this section you can change the luminaire’s name and create a new icon which replaces the luminaire’s default image. The icon can be an existing picture from your device’s photo gallery, or you can take a new photo. The Details section also displays further technical information about the luminaire.
STATE Here you can open the luminaire main adjustable parameters view.
MODES Modes can be used to store different dim levels, colours or colour temperatures that can be recalled using Switches or the Smart Switching option. To edit a mode, select and hold the Default or the Mode X’ (13) text and Edit/Cancel options will appear. Select Edit and adjust the luminaire settings as needed. The mode is automatically saved after exiting the view (tap outside the window to close it). Default can be used to set the desired luminaire start up state after a power cut. If you wish to clear a set mode, select and hold the desired ModeX’ and Edit/Clear/Cancel options will appear. Select Clear to deactivate the mode. Note that the Default mode cannot be cleared.
SMART SWITCH Allows you to define the functionality that occurs when the luminaire’s power is turned off/on. It is a method of achieving simple lighting control. Note that the smart switch option is only available on certain Casambi-enabled devices. For detailed information about smart switching please see the Smart Switching section in the Appendix.

PUSH BUTTONS and ROTARY SWITCH

Allow you to select the function of a luminaire’s inbuilt switch (if fitted), depending on the type of Casambi device which is being used. For detailed information about push buttons please see the Push Buttons section in the Appendix.
Use toggle This option is only displayed if the luminaire has a push button. It allows the button to toggle the commands “on” and “off” each time the button is pressed. If disabled, the push button will only activate the assigned push button function.
PRESENCE SENSOR Allows you to select the function of a luminaire’s built-in sensor (if fitted).
Dedicated daylight sensor This option allows you to select a daylight sensor which can affect the luminaire. You can also adjust the Daylight gain for this luminaire using the slider.
Daylight gain This allows you to specify how much natural light can be available in an area covered by the specific luminaire. For example, a luminaire by a window may have a daylight gain of 100%, but a luminaire in a darker area of a room may have a lower value. This feature may be used, for example, if you have just one lux sensor controlling multiple luminaires in an area but want to try to maintain a more even illumination rather than having some areas darker than others. More information can be found in the Appendix under daylight gain.
STARTUP STATE FOR POWER ON Allows you to set the luminaire to use either the Default mode (default light level) or Last state mode, when switching the luminaire on. The Last state option will cause a luminaire to go to the same dim level and colour which were previously in use before the luminaire was switched off. Note that if the Last state option is selected and the luminaire was OFF when power was switched off, then the luminaire will stay off when power is reapplied. If you wish to prevent this, you can set a minimum dim level for the last state so that the luminaire will always illuminate at that minimum level even if its last state was actually OFF.
Minimum dim level and Maximum dim level You can also configure minimum and maximum dim levels for the luminaire. The luminaire will always operate within these restrictions, although dim to 0% will always turn the luminaire off.
MANUAL CONTROL The Behaviour and Timeout options allow you to override the network’s default manual control settings and create individual options for an individual luminaire. Select Behaviour to change how manual control should work for the luminaire and select Timeout to over-ride the default timeout value. Note that the Manual Control option will only appear if Use control hierarchy has been enabled in the Control options section of the Network settings.
Unpair device / Replace device Use the Unpair device option to remove a luminaire from a network. If a luminaire has become damaged and is powered off, the Replace device option can then be used to replace the luminaire. When using the Replace device option, an identical luminaire device must be used. This allows you to transfer all the previous settings from the old luminaire to the new luminaire device.

Gallery tab

The Gallery in the Casambi app is an intuitive way of controlling your luminaires. Place luminaire control icons (circles from which you can control a luminaire) in a picture to enable simple visual control of the luminaires in the image.
To add a picture, select the black and white image (for adding the first picture only) or select Edit and then +. Then choose if you want to Take photo or Choose existing picture from your device’s gallery. After you have taken a photo or selected a photograph, it is added to the Casambi Gallery.
Next, add luminaire control icons to the picture by tapping the + sign to open the selection screen containing your luminaires.
Select a luminaire that is in the picture and confirm your selection by tapping on Done. If the required luminaire is in a group, first double tap on the group and you can then select the required luminaire.
A luminaire control circle will then be shown in the centre of the picture. Drag the control circle to where you wish it to be in the picture (this is usually over the actual luminaire to be controlled, or over whatever the luminaire is highlighting). You can resize the circle by using a two-finger pinching action.
To add more luminaire controls to the picture tap on the + sign and select another luminaire.
You can rename the picture by selecting the picture and tapping on the picture title at the top of the screen. The text can then be edited.
When you have added all desired luminaire controls to the picture, tap on Done. Note: Any scenes or groups associated with luminaires in the picture will be displayed under the picture.
To return to the Gallery and add more photographs, tap on Close.
Tip: Use a panoramic picture to capture more luminaires in one photo. Alternatively, use a graphical floor plan and add luminaire control icons based on the luminaire locations.

Controlling luminaires

After adding at least one picture you can open it in the Gallery and control the luminaires in it. Tap on a picture to open it in full screen. Note: Scenes or groups associated with luminaires in the picture will be displayed under the picture. The scene icon is shown even if only one luminaire in the picture is part of the scene. Use the normal gestures to control the luminaires in the picture. If the gestures are used over individual luminaire icons, then only that luminaire will be controlled. If you use gestures over an area in the picture that does not have icons, then you will control all luminaires in the picture that have icons associated with them.
Arranging gallery pictures
You can change the order and size of pictures in the Gallery. Select Edit at the top of the screen and then drag and drop pictures to arrange them. If you want to resize pictures, move the thick bar between the pictures up and down. Note that this feature is only available for Apple iOS. Confirm the changes by tapping on Done.

Scenes tab
Scenes allow you to create and recall lighting situations. A scene can control any variation of luminaires in the network. Luminaires can be used in multiple scenes.
Up to 255 scenes can be created.
Scenes never activate by themselves. They must always have something activate them · Manually: For example, by pushing a Casambi-enabled button/switch, or by physically selecting the scene icon in the app. · Sensor: For example, configuring a sensor to activate a scene when movement is detected. · Timer: For example, setting a timer to switch lights on at a certain time of day.
Timers, switches or sensors cannot be programmed to activate a scene without a scene being configured first.
A scene is active when its icon is highlighted.
Types of scenes
There are three types of “scenes” that can be created in the Casambi app. Which to use will depend on what you are trying to achieve.
Note: Basic scenes must be created first before animations or time-based scenes can be used properly.
Basic Scene This is a single lighting scenario (usually containing several luminaires adjusted to different dim levels and/or colours) that you wish to be able to recall. Basic scenes can also be configured as Circadian scenes (so that tuneable white luminaires will automatically adjust according to a defined profile graph for as long as the scene is active), or a Daylight scene (which adjusts the luminaires in the scene according to the amount of light measured by a lux sensor).
Animation scene Consists of at least one basic scene. When the Animation scene is active, the basic scenes are automatically stepped through one after the other to create a sequence of lighting changes (for example a red, green, blue colour changing sequence, or one scene that is set to dim to diverse levels).
Time-based scene Consists of at least two “conditions” with different scenes or different dim levels for each scene. Depending on when the Time-based scene is activated, the relevant lighting scene condition for that time will be actioned.
Please see the following sections for more details about all the scene types.

Creating a basic scene

Select Edit and + then enter a name for the scene and select Add a scene. The Scene edit view will open where you can select and adjust the luminaires to be included in the scene.
Select luminaires individually, or use None, Invert or All to remove all luminaires from the scene, change any active luminaires to inactive & visa- versa, or add all network luminaires to the scene. Use + or – to add or remove all individually visible luminaires, but not luminaires within groups.
To add group luminaires to a scene, double tap on the group and select the luminaires. Add or remove all group luminaires by tapping + or -. Adjust selected group luminaires using basic gestures anywhere in the group area.
Luminaires can also be added to a scene from a gallery image. Select the Gallery tab, open the respective gallery image and select the desired luminaire(s).
You can adjust the luminaires separately using the basic gestures, or you can use the Luminaires in scene control icon to adjust all luminaires in the scene.
Push Continue (top of screen) or Settings (bottom of the screen) to navigate to the scenes additional properties where you can change the name, image, and colour for the scene. You can then rename the scene, use the colour palette to define a colour for the scene icon or choose a new icon for the scene. A scene can be hidden from the user view by selecting Hidden. To save the settings and return to the Scenes tab, select Done.
Add more scenes by using the + at the top of the Scenes tab. Copy scenes by pushing and holding an existing scene. A copy is created in edit mode with an additional number added to the original scene name. You can rename this scene in the Scene Settings.
Tip: Remember to include luminaires which must remain off in a scene and adjust them to 0 % dimmed level.

Circadian scenes
A circadian rhythm allows automatic colour temperature management for basic scenes by using a response graph that displays the hours of the day and the colour temperature. When a circadian scene is active, it will set the colour temperature based on the response graph. It will adjust the colour temperature for as long as the scene is active. Note: If desired, a circadian profile can also be used in the same scene as daylight control.
A circadian profile can be added to a scene that you are editing. To add a circadian rhythm to a scene, select the Settings icon in the bottom right corner and then choose Circadian rhythm. Select Add a new profile, give it a name, and tap on OK or choose an existing profile. Graphs from other networks created on the same mobile device can also be imported. To import a graph from another network, simply select the Import option and you will then be presented with a list of circadian rhythms from the other networks on your device.
Select the desired profile name and tap on the response graph. You can then adjust the points on the response graph to your requirements. The slider on the time of day bar can also be moved to the left or right to help you select when your circadian rhythm should start and finish. When moving the slider, the time and colour temperature will be shown in the top left.
You can add or remove points on the graph. Push and hold on an area on the graph to create a new marker point. Select an existing point to highlight it and then the bin icon in the bottom left to delete the highlighted marker point.
Use the Switch Form option to change the response graph form from a smooth graph to a stepped graph.
Select Done when your circadian rhythm is complete.
Notes: · Only tuneable white luminaires can follow a circadian profile. · Multiple circadian rhythms can be created, but only one profile can be used per scene. · If you need to have a different circadian graph defined for another scene, then you need to create a new graph. If you select and edit a graph that has been used in a previous scene, the change will also affect the original scene. · Scenes containing a circadian graph will display a small graph in the scene icon image.

Daylight scenes

Daylight scenes utilise information provided by lux sensors to automatically adjust the scene lighting level based on the amount of light available. Daylight control can be configured when editing a basic scene by selecting Daylight control from the scene Settings. Available settings are described below:
Basic (ON/OFF) Luminaires in an active scene will fade ON or OFF (or fade to the Minimum dim level defined in the Basic ON/OFF settings) based on two configurable Lux threshold levels.
· If the measured lux is below the “Switch ON at” setting, the lights will be ON. · If the measured lux is above the “Switch OFF at” setting, the lights will be OFF (or at the Minimum dim
level setting, if this is not 0%). Configure lux threshold values to be far enough from each other to avoid repeated or unwanted on/off operation. The Minimum dim level is relative to the scene dim level (i.e. if Minimum dim level is 10% and the scene is at 70% then the minimum dim level will be 7%).
Open loop Luminaires in an active scene will have their output level (0-100%) adjusted by comparing the sensor’s lux reading against a response graph. Sensors should not be affected by any light from the luminaires in the network. Examples: Luminaires controlled by a sensor installed in a separate location to the luminaires (e.g., outdoors) or controlled by a sensor that is facing towards a window away from the luminaires.
Closed loop A target lux level is specified. The sensor actively adjusts the luminaires in the active scene to try to reach and maintain that lux level via a feedback loop (by observing the results of its own changes). Sensors are affected by light from the luminaires in the scene. Example: Luminaires controlled by a daylight sensor that is in the same area as the luminaires. Note that the Minimum dim level (%) setting in the Closed loop parameters applies to the closed loop scene selected. e.g., Minimum dim level set as 10% and the closed loop scene is 50%, then the minimum dimmed level for the closed loop scene will be restricted to 5% (10% of 50%). Also, the Activation level graph option only functions for Evolution networks.
External This is like the Open loop option, but it is based on a 0-100% dimming signal being sent from the sensor rather than a lux level. This option is designed to be used to combine a Casambi unit with a sensor which is not Casambi-activated. Examples include a CBU-ASD connected to a non-Casambi sensor, or when dimming is performed by an external DALI controller or DALI 2 sensor. Casambi-ready sensors created by our partners already contain the Casambi firmware, so there is no need to use the External option.
When the desired Mode of operation has been selected, you will then need to select the controlling sensors and set some other parameters. The parameters to be configured will vary depending on the selected Mode of operation. Explanations of each function are included below each option field in the app. For Open loop or External modes, you can configure the response graph in a similar way to a Circadian profile response graph.

Animation scenes
Animations consist of multiple existing basic scenes that are activated in a defined sequence. An animation scene is treated as one complete scene within the Casambi system, regardless of how many basic scenes have been included to construct it. For this reason, the basic scenes contained in the animation scene must always be carefully considered to avoid potentially undesired scenarios. Animation scenes can be activated in the same way as basic scenes.
Select Edit and then the + in the top right corner. Name the scene and select Add an animation. Note: At least one basic scene must already exist in order to create an animation.
Add the animation steps. Steps consist of scenes and wait times. You can add a maximum of about 80 steps (the exact amount will vary depending on what timing settings are used for each animation step). The scenes and wait times can be added in any order. The order can be rearranged by pushing the 3 lines on the right of each animation step and dragging it to a new location in the step list. When the animation scene is activated, the steps will follow the listed order (from top to bottom).
Each scene used in an animation can have a fade in time and a dim level set for it. The fade time is how long it will take for the scene to reach its dim level set in the animation. The dim level is the dimming percentage relative to the set dim level of the basic scene.
Examples: · The basic scene had all luminaires set to 100%. Its dim level in the animation scene is set to 50%. When the animation is active the basic scene only come on at 50%. · The basic scene had all luminaires set to 50%. Its dim level in the animation scene is set to 50%. When the animation is active the basic scene only come on at 25%.
An animation can be set to fade off (default), stay on the last step or repeat after the last animation step.
The scene name, icon colour and icon can be set. The animation scene can also be hidden from the Scenes tab user view if needed. It will reappear when tapping on Edit.
When you have finished editing the animation, tap on Done to save
The animation scene icon will display the total duration of the animation. If the animation has been set to repeat, an infinity symbol will also be displayed.
Note: Non-repeating animations cannot be used within Time-based scenes.
Tip: Timers can be used to turn an animation on and off based on time.

Example animations

Example 1: · Add Scene Red, fade time 10 sec · Add wait 3 min · Add Scene Blue, fade time 10 sec · Add wait 5 min · Add Scene All Off, fade time 10 sec
When activated, the animation scene will fade to Red in 10 seconds. Red will be active for 3 minutes. Then the scene will fade to Blue in 10 seconds. Blue will be active for 5 minutes and then fade off in 10 seconds.

Example 2: · Add Scene SHOWROOM1, 100% fade time 1 sec · Add wait 15 sec · Add Scene SHOWROOM1, 0% fade time 1 sec · Add Scene SHOWROOM2, 100% fade time 1 sec · Add wait 15 sec · Add Scene SHOWROOM2, 0% fade time 1 sec · Add Scene SHOWROOM3, 100% fade time 1 sec · Add wait 15 sec · Add Scene SHOWROOM3, 0% fade time 1 sec · Repeat ON
When activated, the animation scene will fade to SHOWROOM1 in 1 second and be active for 15 seconds before fading off (to 0%) in 1 second. Then the scene SHOWROOM2 will fade up in 1 second and remain active for 15 seconds before fading off in 1 second. Then SHOWROOM3 will fade up in 1 second and remain active for 15 seconds before fading off in 1 second. The whole animation will then repeat itself.

Examples of why each basic scene used in an animation is important

The result may differ from what is “desired” depending on the status of ALL luminaires in EVERY scene used in the Animation scene.

If each basic scene includes all of the same. luminaires (even if those luminaires are off)

If each basic scene does NOT include all of the same luminaires

Animation WILL repeat (One red lamp on, then one green, then one blue…)

Animation WILL NOT repeat (All 3 lights will be ON after the last step)

Time-based scenes

A time-based scene can be used to achieve a different dim level of a scene or activate different lighting scenarios depending on when the time-based scene is activated. A time-based scene has the advantage over a Timer that it can be triggered at random times, therefore only activating scenes when needed. A Time based scene is treated as one complete scene within the Casambi system, regardless of how many basic scenes have been included to construct it. For this reason, the basic scenes contained in the Time based scene must always be carefully considered to avoid potentially undesired scenarios. Time-based scenes are primarily designed to be used in conjunction with presence sensors.
A minimum of two conditions are required for a time-based scene to function. A condition is a scenario to be reproduced only if the time-based scene is activated during the active period defined for that condition.
To create a time-based scene select Edit and then the + in the top right corner. Name the scene and select Add a time-based scene. Note: At least one basic scene must already exist in order to create a time-based scene.
Select On all days and set when the first conditions’ active period should start. You can configure from days of the week, time or select based on sunrise or sunset (if you have enabled location). When set, tap on Done.
Set the Fade time for the scene you wish to activate. This will determine how long it takes for the scene to fade in whenever the time-based scene is activated during the active period of that condition.
Select Add a scene to choose the scene to activate. You can also tap on the scene and alter its dim level if desired. Remember that the dim level will be relative to the dim level of the original scene.
Carry out the same process for the second condition. If you wish to add more conditions, select Add a condition.
The scene name, icon colour and icon can be set, and the time-based scene can also be hidden from the Scenes tab user view if needed. It will reappear if Edit has been selected.
When you have finished editing the Time-based scene, select Done.
Notes: · Multiple scenes can be part of a single condition. All scenes contained in one condition must have mutually exclusive luminaires (i.e., every scene that is part of a single time-based scene condition must have different luminaires from every other scene used in the same condition. If they don’t then operation may not be as expected, because luminaires may receive multiple conflicting commands simultaneously). · Non-repeating animations cannot be used within time-based scenes. · If a time-based scene is active during the period of time when conditions change, the next condition will be set automatically.

Example of a Time-based Scene A time-based scene (“Kitchen lwr1 timed”) is created to set scene “Kitchen lower 1” dim level at 40% between 8.00 and 21.00. This is the first condition of the time- based scene. Between 21.00 and 8.00, the dim level of the same “Kitchen lower 1” scene will be set to 15% (so as not to be too bright if the scene is activated during the night). This is the second condition of the time-based scene. The scene is not active 24 hours per day. Instead, a presence sensor is set to trigger the time-based scene “Kitchen lwr1 timed” only when presence is detected. Depending on when the time-based scene is triggered, it then sets the dim level of scene Kitchen lower 1 appropriately.

Examples of why the configuration of each basic scene used in a Time based scene condition is important

The result may differ from what is “desired” depending on the status of ALL luminaires used in EVERY scene used in the Time based scene.

If each basic scene includes all of the same. luminaires (even if those luminaires are off)

If each basic scene does NOT include all of the same luminaires

Each condition scene will trigger as expected (e.g., 3 luminaires OFF, 3 luminaires ON)

Luminaires not included in a condition scene will trigger to an earlier valid condition state (e.g., All 6 lamps ON)

More tab
Timers
The timer function is used to create one or more timers that can be configured to turn scenes on and off based on the time or date or sunrise/sunset times. For example, you can set meeting room luminaires to activate during office hours or set corridor lights to dim to a lower level during the night.
To set a timer, go to the More tab and select Timers.
Create a new timer by selecting Edit in the top right corner and then + in the top left corner.
Select the Switches ON button and set when the scene should activate. You can set the timer to operate on weekdays or a specific date. The time can be set for a specific time of day or can use local sunrise and sunset times to turn the scene on. To use sunrise/sunset the network location needs to be enabled. See the Network setup settings section for detailed instructions. Tap on Done to confirm the changes.
Select the Switches OFF option and set the time when the scene should turn off. The options available are the same as those available for the Switches ON time. You can also select After and set the length of time the scene should remain on for. Tap on Done to confirm the changes.
Select the scene or scenes that you want to control with this timer in the Add a scene option. Note that if multiple scenes are to be activated from the same timer, then they must contain mutually exclusive luminaires (i.e., all scenes that are part of the same timer must have different luminaires. Otherwise, the operation may not be as expected, because the luminaires will receive multiple conflicting commands simultaneously).
Set the Fade time for the scene. This is the time it will take for the luminaires in the scene to reach their defined light level when the timer is activated. Fading will start when the timer is activated. This means that if you set the scene to come on at 14:05 and you set a fader for 30 seconds then the scene is at full brightness at 14:05:30. The scene also fades to off with the same time, so if the scene goes off at 15:00 the light will be fully off at 15:00:30.

23
If an application also uses presence detectors and requires that a timer operates regardless of any movement being detected (i.e., at a higher priority in the Casambi Control Hierarchy), Override presence should be enabled for the timer. Note that a timer using Override presence must always have its own Switches ON and Switches OFF times set, because it will operate on a higher level within the Casambi Control Hierarchy. See the Appendix for an explanation of the Control Hierarchy.
It is also possible to Enable/Disable a timer by using the Enabled button. Confirm your settings by tapping on Done. After saving a timer it is possible to copy that timer. Open the timer again, scroll to the bottom of the settings and select Save as copy.
Timers only send commands to the network at the specific set times. If you configurate a timer to activate at a time that is earlier than the current time, it will not activate until it reaches the Switches ON time the next time (e.g., the next day). If you wish a timer to refresh to a state that would currently be active, select Edit and then select the Refresh button (spiral arrow) in the top left of the Timers screen, next to the +.
Notes: · Timers do not always require a configured Switch ON or Switch OFF time. For example, multiple timers could be configured to trigger the same scene to different dim levels throughout a 24-hour period. Therefore, only start times would be necessary for each timer because one timer automatically overrides the previous timer. To disable an ON or OFF time, swipe left (iOS) or push and hold (Android) on the Switches ON or Switches OFF option. A Delete option will then appear. Select this to disable the ON or OFF option for that timer. The text Not set will then be shown under the Switches ON or Switches OFF option. Note: If using the Override presence option, the timer must have both Switches ON and Switches OFF times set. · Casambi units will keep track of time, if at least one unit in the network remains powered. In a situation where all units have lost power, the network time needs to be re-synchronised to the units again. In this situation, please open the Casambi app and connect to the network to set the time again. For a Not shared network this must be done using the same mobile device that was originally used to configure the network. · Timers can occupy different priority levels in the Casambi Control Hierarchy depending on what timer features have been used (e.g., a Weekday timer has a lower priority than a Date timer). Please see the Control Hierarchy section in the Appendix for more details.

Switches

Within the Switches section, Casambi-enabled switches can be configured. All Casambi-enabled switches, push buttons or rotary controls that are paired to the network will be shown in the Switches view (even if they are integral to a luminaire).

To use switches that only switch the mains power on and off with Casambi, see the Smart Switching section in the Appendix.

To configure a switch, tap on the desired switch that you wish to configure.

You will be presented with various options depending on the type of Casambi- enabled switch (e.g., the amount of push buttons available to configure, or configuration options for a rotary control).

Select the push button or rotary control to configure. Initially, Not in use will be displayed. Select this to open a list of available options. The available options shown will depend on the profile that the Casambi-enabled switch was previously configured with. Some Casambi-enabled switches have more options available than others. Possible options may be:

· Controls a luminaire · Controls an element · Controls a group · Control scene · Controls all luminaires · Adjust the temperature of a luminaire · Adjust the temperature of a group · Adjust the temperature of all luminaires

· Cycle scenes · Active/Standby · Presence · Presence/Absence · Absence · Resume automation (group) · Resume automation

Select the desired option and review the list of further options then presented that may also need to be configured (e.g., you may need to select the luminaire, group or scene to be controlled). Various other options may be available depending on the profile configuration of devices available in your network.

If the Control scene or Cycle scenes option is selected, you will also have the option to Disable dimming. Disabling dimming prevents a long button push (or the +/- buttons on the Xpress) from adjusting the preset scene dimmed level.

Version 1-2023

support@casambi.com

25
Note: Elements are single dim channels. If the profile of a unit is for example 4ch/dim,dim,dim,dim, each of the channels can be controlled from four Xpress buttons separately. This could be useful in RGBW applications where Casambi app may not really be convenient to use.
When all settings have been configured, tap on Done and then on Done again.
The Use toggle option can be enabled or disabled. If enabled, one push of a switch will activate the set function (e.g., select a scene). A second push will deactivate it. Disabling the Use toggle function means that pushing a switch will only activate the selected function.
To rename a switch, scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap on Name.
When finished, tap on Back to return to the main Switches view.
Tip: If you are within Bluetooth range of the switch you wish to configure, easily identify it by selecting Switches from the More tab. You will then see a magnifying glass in the top right of the screen. Tap on the magnifying glass and you will be prompted to Push a button within 10 seconds. Push the switch you desire to configure and the configuration options for that switch will automatically open. You can then configure and rename that specific switch as desired. If you are not within Bluetooth range of any switches, the magnifying glass icon will not appear.

Xpress switch
The Casambi Xpress is a wireless user interface that brings flexibility to interior design. The switch can be kept wherever the user needs it and it gives direct access to all important Casambi lighting control functionalities.
1. To pair an Xpress, press any two pre-set buttons on the Xpress (for example, buttons 1 and 3). and the Casambi app will automatically open a Found a new device window. You will be prompted to either Add to “…” the current network you are connected to, or to Add individually to… If you select Add individually to… you will be presented with a list of possible networks (if you have visited multiple networks using your mobile device), or the possibility to Create a network. Note that if you have disabled the Notify unpaired devices option in App settings, you will not see this pop-up window. Instead, you will be able to see the Xpress on the list of Nearby devices in the More tab. Select the Xpress from there and choose the network you want to add it to.
2. After adding the Xpress switch to the network, navigate to the More tab and select Switches to configure the four numbered buttons.
3. Select the Xpress switch from the list of available switches and the configuration page will open. Initially, Not in use will be displayed for each of the numbered buttons (1-4). You can then select each numbered button individually and assign it to control a luminaire, scene, group, element, or all luminaires. It is also possible to assign resume automation options either to a group or to the whole network. If the Control scene option is selected, you will also have the option to Disable dimming to prevent the +/- buttons from adjusting the preset scene dimmed level.
4. After configuring the settings, tap on Done and then on Done again.
5. You can activate or deactivate the Use toggle function. When activated, the Use toggle function will allow each Xpress button to activate/deactivate the programmed action on each button press. When deactivated, it will only allow the button to activate the assigned action.
6. Select Long press all OFF function to allow any Xpress configurable button (1-4) to be held down for approximately 5 seconds to turn off all luminaires in the network. When you select the Long press all OFF function, all luminaires in the network can be turned off by pressing any numbered button for approximately 5 seconds.
7. You can also rename the Xpress and change its icon for easier identification. Tap on Back to save the settings and return to the Switches screen.

After configuring the buttons, they will now control the assigned scene, luminaire, group, element, or resume automation (see Control Hierarchy).
The first press will turn on the scene, lamp, or group and a second press will turn it off (unless the Use toggle option has been deactivated). The + and – buttons allow you to dim your selected device(s) up or down. The Up and Down buttons can be used to change the colour temperature (of a tuneable white luminaire) or the direct/indirect lighting ratio, provided that your luminaire supports these features.
Unpairing an Xpress
Press any two pre-set buttons on the switch to begin the unpairing process. There are three ways to unpair an Xpress switch:
1. By selecting the Unpair device option within the switch settings. Tap on the Xpress switch that you want to unpair and scroll down to the bottom to find the Unpair device option.
2. By swiping the device row to the left (in iOS) or tap and hold on the device (in Android) in the Switches main page. Then tap on Delete.
3. By selecting the switch from the Nearby devices list and choosing the Unpair device option.
Make sure that the Xpress switch has at least one of the amber LEDs on during the unpairing. You will need to perform the unpairing steps before the switch turns itself off (no LEDs on), which happens automatically, if it is not used for about 30 seconds.
If the amber LEDs on an Xpress switch remain on or cycle for longer than 30 seconds when no button is being pushed, it is advised to remove and reinsert the battery to prevent unnecessary battery drain.

Sensors

Paired sensors will appear on the Sensors page in the More tab. Presence sensors, Daylight sensors, and combined Presence/Daylight sensors will be shown.

Presence sensors

To configure a presence sensor, the Use Control Hierarchy option must first be enabled (see section on Network setup/Control options). There are different configuration options for each sensor:

· Presence · Presence/Absence · Absence

· Resume automation (group) · Resume automation

Presence can activate up to two mutually exclusive scenes when the sensor is triggered.

Presence/Absence activates up to two mutually exclusive scenes when the sensor is triggered, and then activates up to two mutually exclusive scenes when absence has been detected (i.e., when there is no movement and the linger time has expired ­ see below). You may also wish to set a timeout for the Absence scene.

· Note: Presence and Absence scene(s) must contain the same luminaire(s). An absence scene cannot control different luminaires than those configured in the presence scene(s).

Absence removes manual control from selected scene(s) when presence is no longer detected and the linger time has expired (see below). E.g., the scene(s) are activated manually (e.g., by a switch) but automatically deactivated.

Linger time is the delay between presence no longer being detected and the controlled scene(s) expiring. It is possible to select a timeout parameter for the linger time to make it time out the same way as a Presence scene.

Absence timeout defines how long the Absence scene will remain active. By default, it is Disabled (i.e., The absence scene will not turn off).

Fade time is the time it takes the scene(s) to dim to off (0%) or to fade into the Absence scene once presence is no longer detected and the linger time has expired.

Removes manual control allows any previous manual control of a scene to be removed once presence is no longer detected and the linger time has expired.

The two Resume automation options can be used to remove manual control from a specific group of luminaires or from all luminaires in your network.

A paired presence sensor will display a `walking person’ icon in the top right of the main sensor icon image when presence is detected.
Note: Mains-switching PIR sensors can also be used with the CBU-ASD or CBU-TED to act as a Casambienabled sensor. The profile of the CBU device may first need to be changed to enable this (See Changing a device profile in the Appendix).
Up to 30 sensors (for Evolution networks) or 10 sensors (for Classic networks) can be configured to control the same luminaire.
Daylight sensors
You can configure the sensitivity and tolerance of a daylight sensor in the Sensors list in the More tab. Tap on the Daylight sensor option to open the settings.
The Sensitivity, which you can set, determines the sensor’s response time when changes in the detected lighting occur.
The Tolerance determines how large the change in illumination must be before the sensor reacts.
Typically, the sensitivity and tolerance settings are low for testing purposes, but in normal everyday use the settings are usually higher to ensure that rapid changes in the measured illumination do not result in rapid changes in the artificial lighting (e.g., when you don’t want the lighting to react, when a cloud temporarily blocks the sun).
The daylight sensor can also be calibrated. This CALIBRATION may be needed, because the lux value received by the sensor is often not the same as the actual lux received on the surface below it. (A downward-facing ceiling- mounted sensor receives reflected light whereas the surface under the sensor typically receives direct light). To enter a calibration value, tap on the Current value and then enter the actual lux value measured on the surface in question (e.g., a sensor positioned above a desk may be measuring 400 lux, but the actual lux value measured by a lux sensor placed on the desk surface may be 500 lux. When configuring a Closed loop daylight scene (to maintain a constant light level), you can then set your target lux value to the lux value you want to achieve on the desk surface.
You can choose Closed loop and other configuration options and settings for daylight sensors, when creating a daylight scene (see Daylight Scenes section).
Note: If multiple lux sensors control the same luminaire, the average value of all lux readings will be used.

Configuring settings for multiple sensors simultaneously
To configure the settings for multiple sensors simultaneously, tap on Select in the Sensors view and choose all required sensor (tick box). Tap on Done when all required sensors are selected. Then select whether to configure presence sensor settings or daylight sensor settings.
· For presence sensors you can set the sensor operational Mode and the scenes to activate. · For daylight sensors you can adjust the Sensitivity and Tolerance settings (simultaneous calibration of
multiple sensors is not possible).
Depending on your selection, you will be taken to the corresponding configuration view. Set the parameters as desired. Tap on Done when finished and you will see a confirmation message of how many sensors have been configured. Tap on OK to continue.

Note: ·

Always, Restart the network (More, Network setup, Configure all luminaires, Restart Network) if you make changes to scene configuration after it has already been assigned to a sensor. This ensures that the sensor receives the new scene configuration.

Data Collection

DATA COLLECTION

This can be configured in the various gateway option settings. Data collection options can be enabled if you need to access your network’s sensor or device usage data separately. The collection of sensor data and usage of devices data can be enabled separately. Enabling these options will increase the amount of network data while collecting and uploading the information from devices.
To prevent excessive data usage, it is recommended to enable these options only when necessary.
The data logging contains information about device-specific details such as information about its state and changes in the state. Certain devices may be able to provide more details. For example, a DALI device may also be able to provide data on specific hardware capabilities.
Enabling “Sensor data” allows readable sensor data to be uploaded. For example:
· Presence/occupancy signals (Presence/Absence) · Light sensor (lux) · On- board temperature · Battery level · Overheating/overloading indicator (Hardware specific)
“Usage of devices” enables the gateway to collect and upload other network- specific data, such as:
· Status of the device in the network · State of device controls, e.g., dimming data, CCT level, colour settings, etc. · Energy counters · Manufacturer details of DALI drivers · Other extended diagnostics and maintenance data that may be retrievable from (DALI) devices
SCANNING INTERVAL This only applies to DALI devices in your network. DALI sensor and/or device data from your network can then be uploaded to the Casambi cloud service at an interval defined by the Status update interval setting. The data can then be accessed by using a suitable 3rd party software interface designed around the Casambi Application Programming Interface (API).
The data available for collection depends on the designed DALI capabilities of the sensors or other devices used in the network. e.g., a DALI device without thermal measurement capabilities cannot provide temperature data.
This option may use a significant amount of network data bandwidth and can slow network operation.

DALI gateway
This feature is only available if using Evolution firmware version 32.0 (2020-03-27) or later.
A CBU-DCS can be used to act as a gateway between a wired DALI network (controlled by DALI controller hardware and software) and a wireless Casambi network. Before connecting the CBU-DCS, it must first be in an unpaired state and the CBU-DCS DALI Gateway profile must be applied (see the Luminaires section for instructions on unpairing and profile changing). The CBU-DCS must be connected to the same powered DALI bus as the DALI controller. Once physically connected, the CBU-DCS can be paired to the existing Casambi network.
Any device present in the Casambi network will then appear as standard DALI gear to the wired DALI controller software. Each Casambi device uses a DALI address, but the CBU-DCS DALI gateway does not; instead, it appears as transparent to the DALI controller software.
Casambi devices which control more than one channel appear to the DALI controller software as single-channel DALI gear, therefore, the separate channels cannot be dimmed individually by the DALI controller software, only by the Casambi app.
Casambi devices using TW, RGB or XY controls are presented to the DALI controller software as DALI or DALI DT8 (Tc/RGB/XY) devices.
You cannot separately address more than 64 Casambi devices (DALI limitation). If you wish to control more than 64 devices you should create multiple Casambi networks with a DCS DALI gateway in each. If using more than one DCS DALI gateway in a single Casambi network, one must only control luminaires (DALI DT6 or DT8) and the second only control DT1 emergency devices.
Like other Casambi devices, the gateway device can be renamed and assigned its own icon.

DALI gateway – Gateway Parameters
Control Scope defines which devices are passed though the DALI gateway to the DALI control software. The default option is All luminaries. However, this setting can also be limited to a single scene, in which you can specify which devices you want the DALI controller software to recognize. The control priority defines the hierarchy in which the gateway will prioritise commands sent by the DALI control software:
· Higher than manual Prevents the Casambi system (apps, sensors, switches, timers) from controlling Casambi devices. Casambi devices can only be controlled by the DALI controller software.
· Manual Is the default setting. It allows Casambi devices to be controlled both by the DALI controller software and by the Casambi app.
· Higher than automation Allows the DALI controller software to control lights that are under automation by presence/absence sensors or timers, but not those that are manually controlled by the Casambi app.
· Lowest-priority automation Allows the DALI controller software to control lights that are not currently automated by presence/absence sensors or timers. Each luminaire control from the Casambi app (manual, timers or sensor automation) will adopt the externally set dim levels.
The Resume Automation button (@) must be used to allow the Casambi app to regain full control when using the Higher than automation or Lowest-priority automation options.
Export sensors Allows Casambi-enabled sensors to be available as DALI-2 sensors in the DALI network.
Export switches Allows Casambi-enabled switches to be available as DALI-2 push buttons in the DALI network.
Export light control Allows the automatic transmission of changes in the dim level of each DALI-addressed Casambi luminaire to the DALI network.
· This option is suitable for integrations with BMS or DALI systems that rely on passive observation of the DALI communication traffic to update the light level status in their system, i.e., they don’t normally send DALI requests to devices.
· Tuneable white and colour changes for DALI DT8 devices are not automatically available. · Non-addressed (Broadcast) devices cannot send this information. · Enabling this option may interfere with DALI controllers that assume single- master control of the DALI
bus.
Export changes of CCT Allows the automatic transmission of changes in the colour temperature of DALIaddressed DT8 tuneable white luminaires in the Casambi network to the DALI network.

Input dimming curve defines how the dim levels that the DALI system sends to the Casambi DALI Gateway are interpreted and sent further within the Casambi network.
The Casambi DALI gateway profile offers the unique possibility of controlling any type of luminaire from a DALI system. Casambi-enabled luminaires can use linear, logarithmic or custom dimming curves, or there can even be a mix of all these dimming curves in a single Casambi network. A DALI system dimming curve usually uses the DALI standard logarithmic curve (with 0-255 steps). However, some DALI control systems (or non-DALI BMS adapters) may use a 0-100% linear curve. Differing dimming curves between the control system and the luminaires can lead to non-optimal dimming behaviour when a Casambi network is controlled by DALI. The Input dimming curve option therefore offers the possibility to change how the DALI system dimming curve is transferred in the Casambi network.
Options for the Input dimming curve are: · Default: This is the same as Linear. · Linear: Transfers the dimming curve received from the DALI system “as is” to the Casambi network. · Logarithmic (DALI): Applies a logarithmic curve to the curve received from the DALI system. o Note that this setting may not respond optimally if Update actual dim level has been enabled.
Choosing the most suitable option depends entirely on the combinations of dimming curves used in a specific set up. Unfortunately, consistent results cannot be achieved when the Casambi network contains luminaires with a mix of different dimming curves.
Update actual dim level Depending on the defined Control priority, dim levels and the state of tuneable white and colour controls (if using DALI DT8 devices) sent by the DALI system may be overridden by Manual or Automation control actions in a Casambi network. Since use cases vary, changes made in the Casambi network may need to be available/visible to the DALI system.
Configuration options are: · Yes (default) o The DALI system can actively query the current dim level/colour from the DALI Gateway, regardless of whether a change was made by the DALI system or directly in the Casambi network. Dim levels/colour are NOT automatically transferred from Casambi to DALI. · No o Only the dim level/colour changes sent by the DALI system itself are shown in the DALI system. Any changes made in the Casambi network are not visible to the DALI system.
· Only at Manual priority o “Yes (default)” will be applicable if the DALI Gateway Control priority has been set to Manual priority. “No” will be applicable if the Control priority setting is set to any other setting.
In all cases, the DALI system must still send a command (query) requesting the latest dim level/colour status information (i.e., changes in the Casambi network are not automatically transferred directly from Casambi to DALI).

DALI Gateway input device limitations
The DALI standard specifies a maximum of 64 DALI luminaire addresses and 64 DALI-2 input device addresses. Input devices include push buttons, sliders, presence sensors, and light sensors.
A CBU-DCS DALI Gateway enables 64 input devices to be addressed according to the DALI standard, but only 80 DALI-2 “instances” can be processed by the DALI Gateway. This means that the amount of input devices possible in your Casambi network may be limited depending on the number of instances the devices use.
The quantity of input device instances varies: · A single motion sensor uses 1 instance · A lux/presence sensor uses 2 instances · A single push button uses 1 instance (e.g., a 4-button switch panel uses 4 instances) · An Xpress switch has 4 instances, one for each configurable button (+, -, up and down commands are not transferrable via the DALI gateway) · Casambi ready products from our ecosystem partners may use more instances depending on their design (e.g., the number of individual push buttons they contain) o An EnOcean switch panel uses 4 instances o Drivers can also be designed with push button input/s and would then use at least 1 instance
When planning DALI Gateway use in a Casambi network containing input devices, a calculation of the number of input device instances is necessary to ensure communication through the DALI Gateway works as desired. If you exceed the 80-instance limit, input devices will still be addressable (up to 64 devices), but some instances will not be recognized.
Input device limit calculation examples: a) 64x single push buttons = 64 DALI instances = OK b) 45x lux/presence sensor = 90 DALI instances = NOT OK c) 20x presence only sensors + 5x four button switches = 40 DALI instances (20+(5×4)) = OK

Network setup

All luminaires in the same network can be easily controlled in the Luminaires tab. Other devices appear in the relevant section of the More tab. One device can only be part of one network at a time. When a device is part of a network it is in a `paired’ state and cannot be added to any other network unless it is first unpaired
Network settings
To change the network settings, select the More page > Network Setup > Network Settings. There you can change the network name, set the time zone and the network’s location. The location needs to be set if you wish to create timers using local sunrise or sunset as a trigger.
You can also select if you would like the Nearby luminaires control icon to be visible in the app’s Luminaires tab. Disabling the Display Nearby Luminaires option will hide the Nearby luminaires control icon for all users in the network.
The network mode and network frequencies can only be configured when creating a network for the first time and cannot be changed after a network has been taken into use. The default mode is Better Performance and should be suitable for most networks. If your network contains a very large number of luminaires (100+) and they are placed physically near to each other, then the Better Performance option can be used, regardless of the network type (Classic or Evolution). See the Change network section for instructions on creating a new network.
Network frequencies are always chosen in pairs. Communication is always made on both frequencies for redundancy in the event of interference in the mesh network caused by an external source.
Once your network set-up is complete, tap on Done to finish.

Sharing settings
To control luminaires also with other devices, the sharing settings need to be set. To be able to share a network, the mobile device must have a good Bluetooth connection to the network and a reliable Internet connection.
To share a network, tap on Sharing settings and then Sharing. There are four different options available:
Administrator only The network is not automatically discoverable to any devices, but it is possible to log in from the networks screen if you know the admin email and password. Anyone who logs in with the admin email and password is also able to modify the network programming. The Networks screen can be accessed from More > Change network or from the app’s start page by selecting My Networks.
Password protected The network is discoverable by other devices, but users (visitors) need to know and enter a password to access and control luminaires. They cannot make network programming changes. If network programming modification is needed (e.g., to add more luminaires, or create scenes), then the network needs to be logged in to using the admin email and password. This network type therefore has two access levels: visitor and administrator.
Open The network is discoverable by other devices and there is no password required for visitor access. Anyone with the Casambi app can access this type of network and control the lights. They cannot make any programming changes. If a change to the network programming is required (e.g., to add more luminaires or create scenes), it is necessary to log in with the administrator email and password. This network type therefore has two access levels: visitor and administrator.
Not shared Access to the network is only possible using the device with which it was originally created, and the network data is not uploaded to the cloud service. Note: It is not recommended to use this option. If selected, the network configuration is only stored on the device used to create it, and only that specific device can control the luminaires. If you reset, delete, or reinstall the Casambi app, or damage or lose the mobile device, you will no longer be able to access the network. If you wish to ensure possibilities for future access to the network or wish to use multiple mobile devices to control the network, Casambi recommends that you share the network.
Note: Lost passwords can only be recovered with a valid administrator email address.

Version 1-2023

support@casambi.com

41
When setting the network sharing mode, the administrator email and password need to be set for the network. A password protected network also requires a visitor password to allow other devices to access the network.
Evolution Networks provide the additional security option of defining three levels of access for each sharing setting type: User, Manager, and Admin (Administrator).
Admin Has full control of all network aspects. Manager Can configure the network (i.e., change programming), but not create new user accounts. User Can only use the network but cannot make any programming changes.
When creating the password, a password strength check will be performed, guiding the user to create a strong password.

To save the new settings select Done. If the sharing setting is something other than Not Shared all the changes are uploaded to Casambi cloud service and the network can be accessed from other devices. See the Change network section of this guide for more information about removing and deleting networks.
Changing or deleting email addresses associated with a network can be done in multiple ways.
Email addresses can be associated with Admin, Manager or User sharing settings. Someone with Admin rights has the possibility to change or delete other email addresses that may be associated with other access rights.
In the Sharing settings section any visible email address can be selected and changed to a new email address. This may be desired if the commissioning engineer has used their own email address when creating a network and then wishes to hand-over the network to the true owner. The Admin email can be updated to the owners email address and the owner can also be asked to enter their own unique password.
A person with Admin rights can delete Manager or User emails that may have been associated with the network.
If an email needs to be changed or deleted and you do not have access to do this, then please contact support@casambi.com. To prevent undesired changes, Casambi may first require you to prove that you are the network “owner” (Administrator) or have the network owner’s permission to make the change.

Control options

The Control options page allows you to define the basic and automation controls (Control Hierarchy) of a Casambi network.
Fade time options allow you to alter the Fade time: For powering up a Casambi luminaire (i.e., when switching the mains supply on) For toggling ON or OFF (i.e., using the Casambi app, Xpress switch or Casambi Enabled switch) For switch dimming (i.e., when dimming using the Xpress + or ­ buttons or a Casambi enabled switch)
You can also select one of the following options:
Remember last state Activating this option will allow luminaires to return to their previous state when toggled on from the app or a Casambi-enabled switch. Note that this is not the same as a luminaire’s STARTUP STATE FOR POWER ON, which is the startup condition when a luminaire is powered on.
Activate timers on startup When a luminaire is powered on and has received the network time, any timers associated with it will then activate.
Use control hierarchy For a detailed explanation of the Control hierarchy, its priorities and its use with sensors and timers, please select the More information option, which can be found directly below the User control hierarchy option. The same information can be found in the Appendix of this guide.
When the Control hierarchy is activated, several options become available and a @ button appears in the lower left of the Luminaires tab screen to allow the end-user to manually resume network automation if needed.
The Control hierarchy options are:
Manual control behaviour This option allows you to select how luminaires should react to manual control and if/when network automation should resume.
· Always timeout will always cause manual control of a luminaire to expire (based on the timeout period). · Timeout if automation waiting will cause manual control of a luminaire to expire only if it is being
controlled by the control hierarchy. For example, a presence sensor or a timer. · Don’t timeout will prevent any network automation from affecting any manually controlled luminaires.

43
Manual control fade out This option sets the time within which a luminaire fades out once manual control has expired.
Manual control timeout The timeout value is the length of time a luminaire can remain under manually control before network automation resumes.
A separate timeout value can be set for each individual weekday, its evening and night. The default values are 2 hours in the day and 30 minutes in the evening, but these can be changed to suit your installation.
The Use these settings for the whole week option allows you to set the same day and night values for the entire week, instead of having to manually edit the values for each weekday.

Performance & Security
This option is only visible in the app for an Evolution network.
· Allow unpair Allows devices to be unpaired from a network using the Unpair device option within a device’s own settings.
· · Allow flick unpair Allows devices to be unpaired by using the power cycling process (usually by flicking
a wall switch off and on) to unpair a device. This process is used when you need to unpair a device belonging to a network to which you do not have access. · · Allow Utility unpair This option is reserved for Casambi partners only.
Note: Do not disable all unpair options. If all unpair options are disabled and for some reason you cannot access the network a device is paired to, you will be unable to unpair the device in any way and it will become unusable.
· Radio Transmission Power Allows the radio transmission power to be boosted to the maximum capable for the device. Generally, there should be no need to change this from the default setting.
· Allow firmware updates Allows or prevents firmware updates, even if a new firmware version is available. Disabling this will also prevent pop-ups being shown when a new firmware update is available. If disabled, the responsibility of checking for firmware updates lies with the system admin/user.
· · Devices always visible Hides or displays devices within the Nearby Devices list. When the option is
disabled, it is possible to choose an initial amount of time for which the devices will remain visible when power is applied. The minimum amount of time is one minute. After this time the devices will disappear from the list. This visibility delay time is to enable the possibility to still unpair devices from the Nearby Devices list if needed.

Configure all luminaires
It is possible to simultaneously configure certain settings for all luminaires in a network. This feature is useful if you want to configure settings for all or most luminaires in the network.
Select the Configure all luminaires option under Network Setup.
There are five settings that can be configured for all luminaires:
· Disable smart switch Disables the Smart Switch option for all luminaires. · Startup -> last state Sets the startup state to last state on all luminaires. · Startup -> default mode Sets the startup state to default mode on all luminaires. · Save current state Sets the current state as the default mode for all luminaires. · Restart network Can be used to restart the control hierarchy and mesh network. This can be useful if
you wish to restart devices in order to test the most recent program setting (i.e., test if a recently programmed sensor triggers correctly) or if you delete a timer that was already running before deleting.
If you subsequently want to change any individual luminaire back to its original setting, then this can be done by accessing the properties of each individual luminaire in the Luminaires tab and changing the parameter.
Note: The commands are sent to the luminaires immediately when the option is selected. Be particularly careful not to select Disable smart switch unless you are sure you want the command applied to most luminaires, as there is not an option to reenable smart switching for all luminaires simultaneously (it must be done individually by opening and changing each luminaires’ properties in the Luminaires tab).

Network history
Network history allows two recovery options: BACKUPS and SNAPSHOTS. Both options are stored copies of the network program. The difference between the two is that Snapshots are saved automatically, whereas Backups are created and stored manually.
A total of fifty snapshots will be stored automatically. If more than 50 are saved, the oldest will be removed to make room for the new ones. A new network snapshot is created whenever the network configuration is changed. Snapshots only have a date and time stamp and cannot be renamed. They are intended to allow you to quickly return to a previous network configuration if you make a mistake while programming (a bit like the “undo” function available on PCs).
You need an internet connection to create a permanent backup. Select Create a new backup and then enter a description (name) for the backup. The backup is automatically date and time stamped. The device on which the backup/snapshot was created is also displayed. Backups are stored on the cloud server and cannot be removed.
To recover a backup or a snapshot, first select the backup or snapshot from the list of available backups/snapshots. Then a menu will appear with the options Preview, Restore and Cancel.
Selecting Preview gives you a visual example of what the configuration will look like in the app when you decide to restore that particular backup or snapshot. Select Leave in the top right of the screen to leave the preview image. You can then decide to Restore the backup/snapshot or Cancel.

Upgrade to Evolution firmware

Upgrading an existing network from Classic to Evolution is quite a time- consuming process, has many steps, and may require various manual steps in addition to the steps carried out by the Casambi app (for example, battery powered devices must be updated individually).
It is advised only to update an existing fully functioning Classic network to Evolution if:
1. You already have 127 devices in your Classic network, and you wish to add more. 2. You really have to use a feature or function only offered with Evolution.
See the Change network section for more information on the benefits of using an Evolution network.
Before updating to an Evolution network, please ensure that:
1. All devices in your Classic network are Evolution-compatible. You can check this by viewing them in your Nearby Devices list. The devices in your network must all display a small `Classic’ text close to the firmware version and network name. If you cannot see the Classic text, then your device is not compatible with Evolution networks.
2. You check and note the Classic networks’ Radio Mode setting (Balanced/Better Performance). 3. You have a Bluetooth connection to the network.
To start the upgrade process, select the Upgrade to Evolution firmware option.
A new Network upgrade window will open, where you will have the option to Start or to go Back. Select the Start option to continue, and your network’s devices will be checked for Evolution compatibility. Following this compatibility check, you will be presented with a list of the names of any non-compatible devices. You would then need to physically replace them with new Evolution-compatible devices if you wish to proceed with the firmware upgrade.

Version 1-2023

If all the devices are compatible, the firmware of each device will then be updated. This process may take some time if you have many devices in your network and you may see a Waiting for devices 1/x message.
At this point it is still possible to select Cancel the upgrade or Back (in the top left corner). You can also see the update progress (1 – 100%) of the Casambi devices in the Luminaires tab. Navigate back to Upgrade to Evolution firmware to continue with the upgrade.
Once all devices have been upgraded, an Update ready message is displayed. At this point you still have the option to Cancel the upgrade.
If you wish to continue, select Continue (in the top right corner) to check and configure the new network’s details and select Done once complete. Note that the same Radio Mode settings (Balanced/Better Performance) previously used for the Classic network must also be used for your new Evolution network.

Select Continue again to continue with the network upgrade. The Casambi app will display a warning that you cannot return to Classic after this step. An Evolution network cannot be reverted to a Classic network. If you need to revert it, there is no other option than to unpair each device individually, change each device’s firmware back to Classic individually, and create and program a new Classic network from scratch.
At this prompt you must select OK to continue.
The upgrade process will now unpair all devices from the Classic network and pair the devices to the new Evolution network.
If your network contains many devices, it is advised to physically move around in the installation area to help the Casambi app to find all the devices in the network.
When the upgrade process is complete, Upgrade complete is displayed. Now you can close the upgrade process by selecting Done.
If you had any battery powered devices in the Classic network, then these will be shown as offline in the new Evolution network. In order to use these devices, you have to manually upgrade them and add them to the new network by using the Replace device option.
The entry for the old Classic network will still appear in the Change network screen. It will also still show that there are devices in the network. After verifying that the new Evolution network is working correctly, you can delete the old Classic network.

Nearby devices
The Nearby devices page displays a list of all Casambi-enabled devices that are nearby.
In the list you can see the device’s icon image, name, vendor, network type, firmware version, signal strength and pairing state or network name. The network name always starts with the @ symbol. If you have access to the network the device is paired to, the network name will be displayed. Otherwise, Paired or Unpaired will be displayed.
The list is initially sorted so that unpaired devices appear first at the top of the list (if they are within range of the mobile device). The remaining devices are then displayed in order of the network names.
The list can be sorted in two ways, alphabetically by network name, or by signal strength. The icon in the top right corner of the screen will change to show the options that can be selected. Pushing Aa (if displayed) will organise the list alphabetically by network name. Alternatively, selecting the antenna icon (if displayed in the top right corner) will then display all devices based on their signal strength: the strongest at the top, the weakest at the bottom, regardless of whether the devices are paired or not. Note that the signal strength does not necessarily indicate the proximity of devices since a devices’ signal strength can be affected by the material surrounding it, or by the materials/obstructions close to the device. For example, a luminaire with a metal casing may have a weaker signal strength compared to an identical design made of plastic.
Devices suitable for the use in long range networks can be identified via their signal strength icon. Long range compatible devices are indicated by 6 square icons rather than 5 round ones
When you select a device from the list, you can see the options that are available for it, such as: Add to a network, Unpair, Identify device, Change profile, Update firmware or Update to Classic/Evolution firmware etc. Different options may be available for different types of devices or depending on if they are part of a network to which you have, or do not have, access. The displayed list will only show the options available for you.
In the Nearby devices screen you can also check if there are any updates available for your Casambi-enabled devices. Any available updates will be displayed on top of the view. If you have internet access the Casambi app will connect to the cloud service and check for updates. If an update is available, you will see an arrow above the icon of the devices that can be updated. Depending on your app settings, this update arrow may appear automatically when an update is available.
The latest firmware version can also be seen at the top of the screen. Tapping on Latest firmware version, you can see a list of release notes for each software version. Tapping a particular version will display the details of that version.

All networks that have nearby devices that are powered-on, i.e., online networks, are displayed in the list with a black icon next to the network name. All offline or out of range networks display a greyed-out icon.
Accessible shared online network. Login may be required depending on the network sharing settings. Inaccessible shared online network. Offline accessible shared network. Offline inaccessible shared network. Accessible network with a gateway enabled. Login to gain remote access.
From this screen it is also possible to Create a network and Log in to an existing network if you know the login credentials for it. The options “Create a network” and “Log in to network” are shown at the top of the screen. You can also access a Demo network for demonstration purposes if needed.
If the network you wish to access is not shown on the list, select Log in to network and enter the administrator email and password. You can access a network with the administrator email and password, even if you are not in the range of the luminaires in that network. If you are not in range of the network, you will only be able to control the devices in the network, if it has an active gateway.
There are three options to remove a network from your network list:
1. You can `forget’ a network from the list. This option will not delete the network from the cloud server. To forget a network, swipe to the left (in iOS) or tap and hold (in Android) on top of the network name and the Forget Network option will appear.
2. Reset application Go to More > App settings and scroll to the bottom of the options list to find the Reset application option. Note: Reset application will reset all app settings and data and remove the list of any networks that you have visited from the device. Use this option with caution.
3. You can delete the network completely. This option deletes the network from both your Casambi app and the cloud server, which will then stop any devices from being able to use the network. To delete a network from the list, swipe to the left (in iOS) or tap and hold (in Android) on top of the network name and the Delete option will appear. Do not select this option if you or someone else needs to access the network later!
Tip: To use a network as a user after previously accessing a network as an administrator, use the forget the option and then log back into the network using user access.

After selecting the network type, the New Network page is displayed. In the New network view, you can assign a network name, time zone, and location, and select sharing settings, network mode and network frequencies.
The Time Zone is based on the time zone of the mobile device that you are using to create the network. If you wish to set an alternative time zone then you must change the setting of your mobile device to the correct time zone.
Location must be set for sunset and sunrise times to work correctly.
You can share your network if needed. Sharing a network can also be done at a later stage (see the Sharing settings section of this guide). If you would like other devices to be able to access your network, select Sharing and then one of the following options: Administrator only, Password protected or Open. Add a valid Administrator email and a password for administrator access and password recovery.
Administrator only The network is hidden from the network list unless the end- user has access.
Password protected Allows users and the administrator access.
Open Allows anyone with the Casambi app to control the network, but they cannot make configuration changes.
Note that Evolution networks offer three levels of user access: User, Manager and Administrator. Managers can configure the network, but they cannot create new user accounts. Only an administrator account can create new accounts.

The network Radio settings have four Mode options. These determine the communication speed and potential communication range for devices in the network.
· Better performance (2 Mbit/s): Optimised for larger indoor networks with increased data traffic. Reduced communication range compared to Balanced network mode. This is the default Mode for a Classic or Evolution network.
· Balanced (1 Mbit/s): Optimised for small to mid-size indoor networks (recommended 125 nodes max.) with moderate data traffic.
· Long Range (0.5 Mbit/s) BETA: Optimised for small to mid-size outdoor networks (recommended 60 nodes max.) with low data traffic. Increased communication range compared to Balanced network mode. Compatible devices only. This mode is suitable ONLY for Casambi devices using our latest CBM-003 that has Bluetooth 5.0 Long Range capabilities
· Long Range Max (0.125 Mbit/s) BETA: Optimised for small to mid-size outdoor networks (recommended 75 nodes max.) with no data requirements. Best communication range. Compatible devices only. This mode is suitable ONLY for Casambi devices using our latest CBM-003 that has Bluetooth 5.0 Long Range capabilities

Long range modes are only available for Evolution networks. Devices suitable for use in Long range networks can be identified in the Nearby devices view. The signal strength indication for Long range compatible devices is indicated by 6 square icons rather than 5 round ones next to corresponding devices in the list. The Casambi app will inform you if you try to create a Long range mode network using incompatible devices.

Two communication Frequencies are automatically set when creating the network, but you can manually change these to other frequencies (if you know that there are specific frequencies that you want to avoid, for example, at the request of a customer’s IT department).

Casambi does not interfere with standard Bluetooth frequencies. The frequencies below are close to equivalent

Bluetooth channels and are not selectable from app version 3.9.0.

· 2403 (channel 1)

· 2427 (channel 13)

· 2425 (channel 12)

· 2479 (channel 39)

Note that changing the network mode or frequencies is not possible after the network has been created!
