Why nothing happened after I created a scene?
In Koolmesh app, the scene will never activate itself automatically. User can activate the scene by manual control / by motion sensor or by schedule. More detail please refer to page 15 of the App User Manual 2.2
What is the difference between daylight harvest (open loop) and daylight harvest (closed loop)?
Open loop: The luminaire’s output percentage is depended on natural light lux level. Daylight Sensors (Photocell Advanced) should not be affected by artificial lights in the network.
Closed loop: The combination of luminaire’s brightness output and ambient lux level will be approximately equal to the pre-set target lux value; target lux level is specified. The sensor actively adjusts the luminaires in the active scene to try to reach and maintain that lux level via a feedback loop (by observing the results of its own changes). Sensors are affected by artificial lights in the scene.
What is difference between “Each device in this scene uses its own daylight”, “All devices in this scene uses the same daylight sensor” and “Mixed strategy”?
Example for “Each device in this scene uses its own daylight”
Example for “All devices in this scene use the same daylight sensor”
Example for “Mixed strategy”
What is target lux auto-config used for?
This function is only available for Daylight Harvest (Closed loop). When users want to use this scene to achieve their desired effect but are unsure of the target lux value, they can use this function. The Koolmesh system will automatically learn the target level and operate based on the learned lux value.
When set the Daylight Harvest (Closed loop) as the scene and choose “All devices in this scene uses the same daylight sensor” in the daylight sensor usage strategy. Why does each luminaire perform differently in terms of output?
Three factors contribute to this. First, latency in the mesh network for commands or lux value readings. Second, varying dimming rates across nodes- Different nodes may adjust brightness at different speeds, leading to uneven transitions. Last, Inconsistent initial brightness for Bluetooth nodes-The initial brightness of BT nodes may vary due to the setting.
What is the difference between 24 hours circadian rhythm and Astro-time circadian rhythm?
Both are automatically adjusted luminaires’ output based on the pre-set target lux level or dimming level and color temperature. The difference is that one is for 24 hours, one is from sunrise to sunset.
What is the luminary’s status before sunrise and after sunset if I use a motion sensor to activate an Astro-time circadian rhythm?
The status of luminaries will maintain the same lux and dimming level with sunrise and sunset. Example: If the luminary’s lux and dimming level is 500Lux and 4000K at sunrise and sunset. Then before sunrise and after sunset it will maintain 500Lux and 4000k.
Why aren’t the circadian rhythm scenes automatically called back after power cut?
For circadian rhythm is fully related with the time. If you are running with circadian rhythm, then you need to have a gateway, or products integrated with a real time chip in your mesh network which can provide the time after a power cut. Otherwise, you need to connect with your app to correct the time after power resumed and the circadian rhythm will be on track.
