ROI Impact
Electrical lighting control programming automation generates control configurations, creates lighting scenes, schedules occupancy-based operations, and deploys system updates automatically. This eliminates manual programming, reduces configuration time by 70%, and ensures consistent lighting control across all installations.
How This Automation Works
New Lighting Installation Scheduled → Programming Files Generated and Deployed
Installation Trigger and Data Collection
When a lighting control installation is scheduled, the system automatically retrieves project details including building specifications, space types, occupancy patterns, customer preferences, and control system type from your project management platform.
Configuration Generation and Scene Creation
Based on collected data, the system generates appropriate programming files, creates lighting scenes for different activities, configures dimming levels, and establishes zone assignments according to building requirements and industry best practices.
Schedule Programming and Validation
The automation creates occupancy-based schedules, configures daylight harvesting parameters, sets up astronomical clock functions, and validates all settings against customer specifications and code requirements to ensure proper operation.
Deployment and Documentation
Programming files are automatically deployed to the control system, configuration backups are created, comprehensive documentation is generated including scene descriptions and schedules, and commissioning reports are prepared for customer review and approval.
How It Works
Electrical contractors and lighting control specialists spend countless hours manually programming lighting control systems, configuring scenes, and updating schedules. This automation transforms lighting control programming by automatically generating schedules based on occupancy patterns, synchronizing system configurations, and deploying updates across multiple installations. By connecting project management systems, lighting control platforms, and customer databases, electrical professionals can eliminate repetitive programming tasks, reduce configuration errors, and deliver consistent lighting experiences. The system handles everything from initial programming to ongoing adjustments, freeing technicians to focus on complex installations and customer consultations.
The Trigger
When a new lighting control installation is scheduled in your project management system, the process automatically initiates programming sequence preparation, gathering building specifications, occupancy requirements, and customer preferences to generate optimal control configurations.
The Action
The system automatically creates programming files, configures lighting scenes based on space requirements, generates schedules aligned with occupancy patterns, and deploys configurations to the control system while documenting all settings for future reference.
Common Use Cases in Electrical
- Automatically program lighting scenes and schedules when commercial office installations are scheduled, reducing configuration time from 10 hours to 3 hours per project
- Generate and deploy lighting control configurations for retail spaces based on store type and operating hours, ensuring consistent brand lighting experience
