For Commercial & Municipal Projects Manage multi-zone, multi-location lighting installs from one dashboard. Group fixtures into virtual groups across buildings, parking structures, or entire city blocks, and apply brand-consistent scenes and schedules across every site — without driving to each one. Everything You Need to Commission, Configure, and Close — In One App 43% Faster Commissioning Provision each node in under 5 seconds. Less time on a ladder, more installs per day, better margins on every job. One-Touch Setup Auto-discovery syncs every fixture instantly — no manual pairing, no guesswork.

Diagnose issues, push firmware updates, and adjust configurations without ever returning to the site. Lighting Blueprint Upload a photo of your client's property and apply any color, scene, or holiday preset directly onto the image in real time — so they see their own roofline in Christmas red and green, their own facade in warm white, before a single fixture goes up. Close the job before you climb the ladder. Virtual Groups Bring multiple zones or properties together into one virtual group for unified scheduling and control — built for large-scale commercial and municipal installations.
