Daylight Harvesting

User Considerations: Only Operations or Admin users can access this feature. See User Roles for more information.

LightRules is compatible with daylight harvesting-enabled lights. Daylight Harvesting is enabled by default at the global level for all new installations. When a map file is loaded with fixtures calibrated for Daylight Harvesting, zone settings in the profile editor are automatically copied from the map.

Note: To control daylight harvesting-enabled lights with LightRules, you must first calibrate those lights with Digital Lumens Commissioner Software.

How to change Daylight Harvesting Settings

1. Select Config > Lights from the menu.
2. Within the row of the light you wish to modify, click Edit.
3. Check the Enable Daylight Harvesting feature.
4. Click Update Light.
5. Perform a Sync.

Note: LightRules displays a "DH" next to each light that is actively daylight harvesting.
If no fixtures are calibrated in the map file or Daylight Harvesting is disabled at the Global level, these settings are disabled.

How to turn Daylight Harvesting on/off

Once enabled, daylight harvesting is operating at all times by default. To turn off daylight harvesting for certain times, disable the function in a specific profile.
