Fresco Mobile is a remote control for the Fresco FCS 7TSN lighting control station by Acuity Controls, giving you the ability to activate scenes and directly control lighting channels from your iPad or iPad mini. The app features the same intuitive interface as the station itself, and will automatically retrieve and mimic the station configuration and room status once connected. To use the app with a Fresco station, you’ll need to either connect to it using Bluetooth Low Energy or connect using Wi-Fi, which will require a Fresco station (FCS 7TSN) with an Ethernet port (-E or -XE option) which has been connected to a Wi-Fi access point. The app also includes a demonstration mode, which allows for a simulated Fresco Mobile experience. No Fresco station required.
