Off and Override The asset has been set to the Off state from the Runtime, and is overriding a light value set outside of Runtime.
Custom Range The current power level of the light falls within the range specified in the status configuration.
  • Lower Threshold — Lowest value of the power level of the light in a user-defined range.
  • Upper Threshold — Highest value of the power level of the light in a user-defined range.
Custom Range and Override The current power level of the light falls within the range specified in the status configuration, and is overriding a light value set outside of Runtime.
  • Lower Threshold — Lowest value of the power level of the light in a user-defined range.
  • Upper Threshold — Highest value of the power level of the light in a user-defined range.

Workflow Integration

System Commands

System commands are commands executed through Workflows at the system level. For more information about Workflows, see the Workflows section.

Change Light Level

Sets light or lighting zone to a specific power level for a specified amount of time.

Table 1. Parameters
Asset ID The unique identifier for the light to change.
Light Level The power level for the light.
Duration How long in minutes the light will be set to this level.

Troubleshooting

Unable to Connect to Assets

If you are having trouble connecting to the assets in your system, the BACnet objects may be configured with the incorrect type. Ensure your BACnet object is configured to use the correct object type.

Logs from the driver and Runtime can be viewed in the Debug Tools client. These messages contain information which can provide further context for issues during initialization, or while actively running. This can help diagnose problems.
