Step 2: The Four Ways to Control Lighting

The Four Ways to Control Lighting

1. By Device for individual fixture control 

2. By Group to control a specific set of fixtures together — like ‘Trees,’ ‘Steps,’ or ‘Entry Columns’ 

3. By Zone for area-based control — like ‘Front Yard’ or ‘Back Yard’ 

4. By Scene for one-tap lighting looks that can combine multiple groups and zones 

Most installs go: Name Devices → assign Zones → build Groups → create a few Scenes → add Schedules.
