Luminaire Groups

Overview to luminaire groups​

In Casambi Pro, a luminaire group is a container inside a space, for housing luminaires after they have been paired to networks. The user can freely create groups inside spaces, marking the places where luminaires will be paired to. Each luminaire group is joined in the same network as its parent space.

Group principles:

  • A luminaire group resides always inside one space, and it cannot extend from space to another space, or extend beyond the borders of its parent space.
  • Groups can overlap visually.
  • Groups cannot be nested = A luminaire group cannot have other luminaire groups in it.
  • Controllers (switches, sensors and schedules) can reside only inside a space. Thus, even if a controller is visually placed inside a group on the layout, its parent element is the space, not the group.
  • A luminaire group with all of its contents belong always to one network, which is defined by group’s parent space.
  • If a luminaire group contains any real paired luminaires, it or its parent space cannot be deleted.
