myServer allows for selection of lighting devices to be specific to that room.
Overview
- Select compatible lighting technology (like ZWave, Zigbee, Caseta, etc)
- Setup the hardware and networking of the lighting "hub"
- Add the appropriate driver to myServer
- Configure the driver for the hub. Typically this will auto import the devices assigned to the hub as well. Follow the driver's documentation carefully.
- Add each light device into a Room
- Add the Lighting Icon to the Sources / Apps in Dashboard. Enable is selected, Name = Lighting, Icon image = /images/lighting.png, Activation macro = activate-source.lighting.
- Ensure the Lighting Icon is checked in Sources / Apps per Room
- Open the lighting.html webpage
- Select the room from the dropdown list
- Control the light for that room. Controls will be appropriate if it's a Switch (on / off) or a Dimmer (on / off / dim)
- Optionally build a floorplan view using a graphics program (or hire Allonis's graphical services), place custom buttons on the floorplan view, edit the status variable name and command device names in the buttons.
Have fun!
