SENSORWORX Config Mobile App: Lighting Control Simplified. The SENSORWORX Config Mobile App enables setup and configuration of a room of SENSORWORX brand lighting control devices (either SENSORWORX Digital or SENSORWORX Wireless devices). Using this app, users can define lighting zones, establish sequence of operations, create preset light levels and scenes, set-up time-based and astronomical schedules, and download a room configuration report. To connect, there must be one app-enabled load controller within the room which routes mobile app communication to all other wired or wirelessly connected devices. Key Features: Configuration Complete zone configuration directly from your mobile device. Adjust time schedules, scenes, occupancy rules, and dimming preferences—all in one place. Zone Customization Group load controllers into zones for more customized control schemes. Devices manually paired via the Push-to-Pair method are imported into the app for seamless management. Remote Device Integration Quickly discover and add remote devices such as switches and sensors to any zone. Scene Control Create scenes to adjust zone behavior—including occupancy modes, timers, and trim levels—or simply set desired light levels with ease. Automatic Time Clock Sync Each room’s time clock automatically syncs with your mobile device when connected, ensuring accurate time, daylight savings, and astronomical adjustments.
