Creating Scenes/Zones
Use the following procedure to create or add Scenes and Zones in ThinkEssentials®.
To add a scene or zone:
1.Go to the Scene or Zone tab, then Click the ADD SCENE or ADD ZONE button, respectively. This button is found at the bottom of the list of scenes or zones.
2.The software will prompt you to name the scene or zone. Enter a name, and then press the button to continue. You may also be presented with additional instructions.
3.To include modules into this scene
or zone, simply click on the icon of the module(s) you wish to add. The module’s icon will be circled on the screen indicating that it is now part of the scene or zone.
a.) When including dimming modules into a scene, the module’s level will be recorded for use when the scene is ac- tivated. To change the module’s desired level for the scene,
b.) There are two special scenes built into the scenes tab: ALL ON and ALL OFF. These scenes will turn the selected modules to the ON or OFF position when activated, and changing these scenes will affect the ALL ON and ALL OFF features of all remote controllers in the network. Changing the modules’s cur- rent level will not be reflected in these scenes.
c.) When including modules into a zone, the current level of the module is not relevant. Modules in a zone all turn on or off together.
4.To record the scene or zone, press the same Scene or Zone button you created in Step 2. The highlight on the button will then go away.
Click the ADD SCENE button.
Click the modules you wish to add to that scene.
Click the scene button you just created.
