Lighting Controller

Mark a controller, timer, or relay on the lighting plan to document how the scheme is switched, scheduled, or automated.

A Lighting Controller documents the intended control unit and its type. It is a plan object rather than a working scheduler or connection to physical lighting hardware.

1

Place the controller

Open Lights → Controls → Lighting Controller, then click its position. Press Esc to stop placement.

2

Choose its type

Select the object and expand Details. Set Controller Type to Timer, Photocell, Smart, DMX, DALI, Manual or Custom.

3

Record the intended operation

Enter a clear Name and add Notes for the intended configuration. These notes do not create a live schedule or automatically assign fixtures to functioning control channels.

4

Document the routes

Draw Cable Run objects to show the intended arrangement. Review actual product requirements separately from the visual scene controls; changing the Presentation sun is not programming the controller.
