Locking/Unlocking ThinkEssentials®

Common

Use the following procedure to lock/unlock ThinkEssentials®.

ThinkEssentials® software operates in two modes: a) locked and, b) unlocked. Unlocked mode is generally used for setup and con- figuration of the network. Most users run ThinkEssentials® in locked mode for day-to-day use, and unlock the software to make con- figuration changes. To toggle between these two modes, simply click on the lock icon in the corner of the software interface or its accompa- nying text.

In LOCKED mode the software:

•Does not allow changes to modules, devices, layout, scenes, zones, or other settings.

•Prevents the adding or removing of modules in the network.

•Does allow general control, such as turning modules on or off or activating scenes.

•Gives quick access to dimming or other regu- larly used controls by right-clicking on modules.

In UNLOCKED mode the software:

•Allows creation and modification of Designs, Scenes, Zones and Settings.

•Allows user more options such as renam- ing or configuring devices by right-clicking on modules.

NOTE: Some options, such as ADD DEVICE and REMOVE DEVICE may still be unavailable when the software is unlocked if your USB Z-Wave®adapter is a secondary controller in the network. Only Primary Controllers can add or remove modules to or from a network.

LOCKED/UNLOCKED link is located in lower left hand corner of ThinkEssentials® window.
