Smart control makes a lighting system easy to live with.

Zones

Fixtures are grouped by area, such as paths, trees, walls and the pool.

Scenes

A scene is a saved look, like Dinner or Party, that you can run with one tap.

Schedules

Schedules can follow sunset and sunrise, so the lights come on and go off by themselves.

Apps

An app lets you change the lights from your phone, at home or away.
