Application controller mode

zencontrol smart devices can operate in different modes which allow compatibility with third-party control systems and enhance functionality. Listed below is the list of Internal application modes that a smart device could support.

Automatic/ Disabled mode: This allows the application controller to enable or disable itself automatically based on certain criteria. A list of these criteria can be found here:  https://support.zencontrol.com/hc/en-us/articles/6192279342479-Standalone-Mode

Disabled mode: This will disable the application controller and will not be enabled unless this mode is changed.

Standalone Mode: Wired + Wireless: This mode will work with both wired and wireless networks and will bridge between them if bridging is also enabled.

Alt Text

Standalone Mode: Wireless only: Standalone mode will only work on the wireless connection and will not send commands onto a wired network, which could have another controller present.

Alt Text

Standalone Mode: Wired only:  Standalone mode will only work on the wired connection and will not send commands onto a wireless network that could have another controller present.

Alt Text

Standalone Mode: Internal to the device only: Standalone mode will only work on the device and will not send commands to the wireless or wired DALI lines ( EG smart driver inside a luminaire)

Alt Text

Standalone Mode: Internal Lux Only: Standalone mode will only enable the lux controller and this will only control the device. It will not send commands to the wireless or wired DALI lines. EG. A smart driver with an attached sensor will only send LUX-level commands to itself ( IE internal daylight harvesting)

Alt Text

Standalone Mode: Lux controller, Wired Only: Standalone mode will only enable the lux controller and this will only communicate over the wired DALI line. It will not send lux commands to the wireless network. EG when using a bridge with an inbuilt sensor, it will send DALI lux level control commands to devices on the DALI line (normally inside the fitting).

By choosing the appropriate internal application controller mode, installers can optimize the functionality and adaptability of zencontrol smart devices to meet the specific demands of their installation.
