. Logging In To log in, simply enter your email address or password. If you do not have an account setup, please use the Create Account button. 3. Dashboard Once logged in, the dashboard displays a birds eye view of device locations, the current calendar displaying scheduled lighting events, as well as the main navigation for the portal.
The left navigation is broken down as follows: 1. How-To's 2. Logging In 3. Dashboard 4. Locations 5. Device Management a. Devices b. Device Groups 6. Fixture Management a. Fixtures b. Fixture Groups 7. Scene Management a. My Scenes b. Schedule 4. Locations The Locations feature is used to manage the physical location of ControlBright Devices. For example, you may have a small chain of restaurants, each with 4 ControlBright Light Engines per location.
5. Device Management a. Devices The Devices page displays the following parameters: Device Name Serial number of device Physical Location Fixtures attached to each device Online/Offline status of device Clicking "Add Device" opens a modal window that allows the user to enter all required information to setup a device.
The Device name should be as descriptive as possible. Fixture assignment is accomplished in the next section called "Fixture Management" 8 Device Channels are assigned to CB-8 models, and 24 Device Channels are assigned to CB-24 models. b. Device Groups Device groups are used to associate individual devices into a logical group. Device Groups are for user reference only, they are not referenced by anything else in the portal.
. Fixture Management a. Fixtures Fixtures are 12v/24v Constant Voltage LED lights that are directly connected to the ControlBright Light Engine. These Fixtures include Single Color, RGB (Red, Green, Blue), and RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White). Each Fixture is assigned to a Device within the portal. When adding a fixture, the following parameters need to be configured: 1. Fixture Name - This should include physical attributes of the Fixture, including: Length, LED Density, and LED Size 2.
b. Fixture Groups Fixture Groups are used to aggregate Fixtures into user-configurable pools that, when combined with the Scene Builder, allows the user to control large numbers of fixtures at once. For example, a mid-size retail chain may want to assign a single scene to all front display fixtures across 1000 stores. By creating a fixture group, through one scene they can schedule and assign a lighting design across all locations instantly.
Based on the Group Type chosen, the Available Fixtures list will ONLY show compatible fixtures. For example, If a Group Type of RGBW is chosen, only RGBW fixtures will be shown. The Available Fixtures list shows the type of Fixture, the location, and serial number of the Device it's attached to for easy reference. Ctrl-Click and Shift-Click is support to highlight multiple fixtures. 7. Scene Management a.
After clicking "Save", the portal will automatically load the Scene Builder interface as follows: The following actions are provided: Color Fade Sleep Blackout Loop Color The Color Action is used to assign a specific color (or colors) to the scene. The Scene Builder requires the Color Action to be assigned FIRST, before any other Actions. The Color Action is displayed based on the Fixture Type: 1.
These input boxes are dynamically updated as the cursor is moved around the Color Wheel. Alternatively, RGB values can be manually input to arrive at a specific color. The tan background will also be dynamically updated to the color being chosen. b. White Channel - When clicking the White Channel button, a slider will appear allowing the user to choose a value anywhere from 0-255, with 255 being 100% brightness. The Color Wheel on the right will be dimmed and disabled. 2.
4. Hold Time - The Hold Time Action provides the user with a slider that holds the color for anywhere from 0-240 seconds. For example, if a user wants the first color to remain in effect for 1 minute, they would position the slider at the 60 Second mark. Fade The Fade Action allows the user to choose a Fade Time, a Color, and a Hold Time: 1. Fade Time - The Fade Time Action allows the user to choose a specific length of time (1-240 seconds) to transition from one color to another. 2.
Loop The Loop Action is used to cycle through the entire scene, up to 100 times. This is especially useful when the user is looking to put their scene on "repeat" for a period of time. The Loop Action is ALWAYS the last Action in the scene builder, no other Actions may be added after. Multiple Actions of the same type may be used multiple times within the same Scene, allowing extremely complex Scenes to be created.
b. Schedule In order to apply a desired scene, it must be scheduled in the calendar. Whether the scene consists of a single color or something more complex, the calendar is used to manage timing of scenes. The size of the scene icon in the calendar is dependent on the length of the scene selected. For example, a short scene will be thinner in appearance than a longer length scene.
In the edit modal window, simply choose the proper hour and minute to start the selected scene:
