SMRT Logic Landscape Controls: Setup and Service Checks
Before setting up or servicing SMRT Logic landscape controls, identify the gateway and power-control unit by their labels. Hardware generations and software instructions can differ. Use the documents supplied for the exact devices instead of assuming an older setup sequence still applies.
Collect the system details
Record each model number, the connected transformer, the controlled load, and the account used for the system. Take photographs of the installation and note whether the problem affects every controlled device or only one location.
Verify the control function
On/off switching and dimming are different capabilities. Do not assume a power-control unit can dim connected lamps. Confirm its rated function and load compatibility before connecting equipment or choosing a replacement.
Work through setup methodically
- Check the matching hardware instructions and current service information.
- Confirm power and the required network connection.
- Use the documented account and device-registration process.
- Name the controlled areas clearly.
- Test a manual command before adding schedules.
- Verify automatic operation at the intended time.
If a scheduled event fails
Check the system clock, location settings, manual overrides, and whether the device responds to a manual command. Record any error message before resetting equipment. A factory reset can remove useful configuration and should follow the manufacturer's support process.
For compatibility help, provide the gateway and power-unit labels. Those details are essential before promising a replacement device or a particular app feature.
