4: Locate the 'Zones in Area' section and tap the option to '+ Add Zone'.
5: Tap on the fields to name the zone and enter parameters:
• Zone name: Enter a unique name for the zone. Zone names must be unique within the area.
• Zone type: The zone type determines the options and behavior for the zone. For dimmable devices, select 'Dimmable' control. For relays or
lighting loads without dimming capability, select 'Non Dimmable' control. For devices controlling plug loads, select 'Receptacle'. Both 'Non
Dimmable' and 'Receptacle' zone types follow first ON, last OFF functionality (command @ 1% to 100% = ON, command @ 0% = OFF).
• Dim Level: (dimmable zone type only) The light level that a newly provisioned device should go to when it is added to the zone. A low level
(default 10%) is recommended. When a device is provisioned and assigned to this zone, it will dim to the defined level along with other
devices in the zone. Unprovisioned devices will be ON to 100% if there is occupancy in the area, allowing for easy identification of
unprovisioned vs. provisioned devices
• Minimum level (low end trim): (dimmable zone type only) The default setting is 0%. Sets the lowest level that dimming commands can set
the dimmable light level to. Typically used to provide a desired aesthetic. Regardless of the minimum level set, a 0% command will turn the
load OFF.
• Maximum level (high end trim): The default setting is 100%. For dimmable zones, this sets the highest level that the dimming command
can set the dimmable light level to. Typically used to save energy or to provide a desired aesthetic. For non-dimmable or receptacle zone
types, the maximum level can be adjusted to set the desired ON level if dimmable light sources are assigned to the zone. When an ON
command is received, the light source will be commanded ON to the maximum level set.
6: Tap 'Add' to create the zone.
7: Repeat until all necessary zones are created.
Tap '+ Add Zone'
Note: If adding zones, all new zones will be automatically added to the first occupancy set in the occupancy set list unless the area does not contain any
occupancy sets. If the area contains more than one occupancy set, make certain that the new zone is assigned to the correct occupancy set. To change
the zone assignment, refer to "Adjust Controlled Zones" on page 92.

Step 4: Manage the Area Occupancy Sets (Networked Areas Only)

Skip this step for standalone areas which do not use occupancy sets. For information on adjusting occupancy sensor settings in a standalone
area, see "Modify Occupancy Sensor Settings in Standalone Areas" on page 124.
In a networked area, an occupancy set is a group of occupancy sensors that operate together to control a group of devices in the networked
area. Any sensor in the group sensing motion will refresh its occupied command at continuous intervals. When a sensor in the group no longer
receives occupied signals from other sensors, and is no longer registering motion itself, it will begin transitioning its connected fixture through
the hold time to the unoccupied level. With this logic, ANY sensor in the occupancy set can command the group to the occupied light level, but
ALL sensors in the occupancy set need register an unoccupied state before lighting can transition to the unoccupied level.
During the area creation, if a custom template is chosen, the template will determine the behavior of the occupancy set, the quantity of
occupancy sets added to a networked area, and what zones are controlled by the occupancy sets. Up to 6 occupancy sets can be created in
each area.
