Circadian profiles in scenes

A circadian profile can control scene's dimming and/or colour temperature values over time. Circadian profiles are created at the project level and they can be linked to scenes in any network in the project.

See the Circadian Profiles page to learn more how the profiles are created and managed.

Applying a circadian profile to a scene

Circadian profiles can only be applied to scenes. Therefore, create a scene before assigning a circadian profile to it.

Windows

To apply a circadian profile in a scene:

1. Select a scene by clicking scene's header cell in the Scenes table
2. Select the Circadian Profile option in the property pane menu. A selection dialog is opened.
3. Select a profile from the selection list in the dialog and click Ok.
4. Profile is now applied and both the scene table and the scene property pane are updated (see the image below).

When a circadian profile is used to control a scene, the scene property pane displays a profile selection list together with preview of the selected profile.

If the profile has only either a dimming or colour temperature curve, the preview is displayed only for those properties. Therefore, it is possible for example to have a scene with static dimming value, but use a circadian profile only for controlling the colour temperature.

The circadian profile always controls all groups in the scene. Thus, it is not possible to apply a separate profile to a single group by using local values in the scene properties.

iOS

On iOS, applying a circadian profile works similarly to how it does on Windows.

1. Activate Circadian profile from the property menu
2. Select preferred circadian profile
3. When the profile has been applied, the scene table and the scene property pane are updated. If the selected profile has curves for both dimming and colour temperature, both curves are applied.

Removing a circadian profile from a scene

A circadian profile is removed from a scene by unchecking the Circadian profile option from the scene property menu.
