Page 10: Activating, Deactivating And Dimming Lights
Operations SimplySNAP is typically installed in environments where it is programmed once and set to run autonomously with very little interaction. However, it does allow active control of lighting via the user interface. Activating, Deactivating and Dimming Lights After a light is entered into the system it is controlled directly from the Lights and Sensors page. Broader control is accomplished through the use of zones, schedules, and sensors, which are explained fully in the SimplySNAP User Guide.
