Pair Tunable Light Fixtures

Add a tunable light fixture to the Crestron Home system.

Use the  Digital Lighting device type in the Pair Devices screen to add tunable light fixtures. The  Digital Lighting device type is displayed after a DIN-GWDL gateway is added to the system.

Tunable Light Fixtures and Light Groups

Light fixtures can be added and controlled individually or as a light group. A Light Group allows a collection of Fixtures to operate as a single entity that replicates a typical lighting circuit, where many lights that are on the same circuit and are controlled in unison with a single point of control.

Use Light Groups to create zoned lighting systems. For example, create two zones of lights in a kitchen, one over the food preparation area and one over the dining area. Each zone of lights will be controlled in unison. In the Crestron Home app, the Lights control screen will show two controllable loads.

If the light fixtures are added individually, each light fixture will display in the Crestron Home app as a controllable load.

Note: Consider the following:

  • Light groups can contain Crestron light fixtures.
  • Light groups cannot span rooms.
  • Light groups cannot span DMX Universes.
  • A Fixture can exist in only one Light Group.
  • All Fixtures in the Light Group must have the same control capabilities.
  • All fixtures in the Light Group will operate in unison.
  • The End User of the system will only be able to access Light Groups, not the individual fixtures.
  • When configuring scenes or keypad button programming, only Light Groups, not the individual fixtures, will be accessible.

Add Tunable Light Fixtures

To add tunable light fixtures:

  1. Go to Pair Devices on the Setup screen or on the setup menu.

  2. Select the  Digital Lighting device type.

    Note: When there are multiple DIN-GWDL devices in the system, you must select a gateway to view the list of light fixtures that are connected to it. If there is one DIN-GWDL in the system, the list of light fixtures for the gateway is opened automatically.

  3. The system searches for light fixtures and then displays them in the list.

    Note: If a light fixture is not found, select Rescan. It may be necessary to scan multiple times.

  4. Create a light group or add a light fixture to a group:

    Note: A light group is created when the first fixture is added to the room.

    • Create a Light Group: Select a light fixture from the list and then select  Add. Enter a name for the light group and then select OK.

      Tip: If a light group in the room is selected you will be asked if you want to add the light fixture to the selected light group. Select No to create the new light group.

    • Add a Fixture to a Light Group: First, select a fixture in the room. Then, select a light group and then select  Add. When prompted to add the fixture to the light group, select Yes. To create a new light group, select no.

  5. Enter a name for the light group and then select Enter.

Remove a Light Fixture or Light Group

Note:

  • Deleting a Light Group will cause all Fixtures in the group to also be deleted
  • If all light fixtures in a Light Group are deleted, the Light Group will be automatically deleted.

To remove a fixture or light group:

  • Fixture: Go to  Light Group >  Enter Group >  Select a Fixture and then select  Remove.

  • Light Group: Select a  Light Group and then select  Remove.

Forget a Tunable Light Fixture

When a fixture is removed from a room, or is not discovered again during a rescan, the light fixture will remain in the list of devices.
