Projects

Overview to Casambi Pro projects

In Casambi Pro, the lighting system configurations are designed and maintained inside a project.

A project contains:

• General project information
• Layouts
• Spaces, which contain
  • Luminaire groups,
  • Controllers and schedules
  • Scenes
• Networks which can have Casambi Cloud Gateways

Elements and their hierarchical relations in Casambi Pro:

1. Layout
2. Space
   1. Space 1 is attached to a network but it has only virtual elements in it (one group, three controllers).
   2. Space 2 is attached to the same network but it has one real luminaire and two controllers paired to it.
3. Luminaire groups inside spaces.
   1. A virtual group which does not yet have any luminaires paired to it.
   2. A group where one real luminaire has been paired.
4. Controllers
   1. Virtual controllers (schedule, switch, sensor) which can be configured in advance.
   2. Controller after it has been paired.
   3. A controller that is still unpaired (virtual)
5. Casambi Cloud Gateway
   • There can be one gateway in a network. Cloud gateways can be placed anywhere in project’s layouts, they do not need to reside inside spaces.
6. Network
   • A project can have one or many networks.
   • Virtual networks must be created in Casambi Pro for Windows before real devices can be paired.
   • When the first real device is paired, the virtual network changes to real Casambi Pro network.
   • A network is not restricted to items in a certain layout. Spaces in different layouts can belong to any network.
   note

   Networks are not drawn in the layout views, but spaces belonging to a network are highlighted with green colour when a network is selected from the Networks list.
