Perennial circadian

The sky colour and brightness profile will be based on local time, regardless of seasonal changes. This mode is more suitable to rooms which may be used for work such as meeting rooms, offices, home offices etc. During typical working hours of 8am and 6pm, the sky will be fully blue. This may alleviate symptoms of Seasonal Affected Disorder (SAD) by increasing the exposure to light.

Casambi Xpress controllers are battery powered and do not consume power during standby. Up to four preset scenes can be triggered with buttons numbered 1 to 4. The default settings are:

• Button 1 - Blue Sky
• Button 2 - Warm Sky
• Button 3 - Circadian
• Button 4 - Moon

+ button increase brightness
- button decrease brightness
∧ button warmer sky
∨ button bluer sky

1) Ensure Bluetooth and Location Services is turned on in your device

2) Open the Casambi App

3) If the light fixtures are powered, the app should show My networks and Nearby devices

By default, Innerscene pre-programmed Casambi modules are assigned as a part of the network, which allows customers to select the homes and adjust colour and brightness.

If you require changes to the preset scenes, please contact [email protected] for the Network password.

If you are installing Innerscene fixtures with other Casambi enabled fixtures from other vendors, or other vendors fixtures, please inform Innerscene and we will not program the Casambi module. You will need to Create a Network first.

4) Select "My networks" to show your nearby networks. Active networks will show in Black instead of Gray

Select your network. Typically it will be named with the prefix "Virtual Sun"

1) Once a network has been selected. You can turn on and off indiviual devices. Each device represents a zone of Innerscene Virtual Sun fixtures.

Active zones are highlighted (#2). The lit length of the bar underneath the icon represents the dimming level of that zone. For example the above represents 50% dimming. Inactive but powered zones are dimmed and with a grey bar underneath the icon (#1). Unpowered zones are dimmed and without a bar underneath the icon (#3).

With Casambi, “off” is only by software and the fixture is still energised. For maintenance or servicing, please disconnect the system at the electrical box.

2) In the Luminaires screen, press on any fixture to turn it on and off.

Press and slide up and down to control the colour temperature. (Other vendor’s fixtures may not support this feature)

Press and slide left and right to control the brightness.

3) Press and Hold a zone will enable the tunable white menu. This will allow you to set the dimming percentage % and Colour temperature in Kelvin.

You can quickly adjust with the slider or make small increments with the + or - buttons.

This value will be kept until the fixtures are powered off or another scene preset is selected.

4) On the Scenes tab, you can see previously set scenes. With one Xpress controller, four of these scenes can be selected.

Circadian Scene - Sky colour slowly fades throughout the day, ranging from warm in the morning and late afternoon to cooler and bluer around noon.

Bright Blue Sky Scene - Bright blue sky.

Bright Sunrise/Sunset - Very warm sky similar to the an orange horizon at sunrise or sunset.

Moon Scene - A moon is visible and the sky is dimming to match low level moonlight.

Dimmed Blue Sky Scene - Dimmed down blue sky

Warm White Sky - A less saturated warm sky, similar to 2700K or 3000K warm white LEDs.

Neutral White Sky - An uncoloured white sky. Similar to 3500-4000K neutral white LEDs.

Cool White Sky - A pure white sky. Similar to 6500K cool white LEDs.

By default. Circadian, Blue Sky, Sunrise/Sunset, Neutral White Sky and Moon are pre- programmed.

1) “Configuration failure” most often result from the dimming control wires not being connected properly to the fixture.
Disconnect then Reconnect the fixture from mains power to reinitialise.

If the problem persist, disconect the fixture from mains power and check the wire connections between Casambi DALI output (labelled DALI+ and DALI-) and DALI input on the A7 Controller board (labelled DALI x and DALI y). It is possible that the wires may have become loose.

2) Each light fixture group or zone is controlled by a single Casambi module, often labelled as “DALI DT8 TW” or “Innerscene A7” in the nearby devices list.

The grey bar next to the bluetooth device represents the connection signal strength from your device to the Casambi module.

If the device have not been previously setup it will show as “unpaired”.

You will need to make a new network and add it.

3) The Casambi Xpress controller doesn’t work

If you see a flash of amber light when pressing the controller that means it has battery.

If not, then the battery may need to be replaced.

Casambi Xpress uses a CR 2430 Lithium battery.

4) Device requires firmware upgrade.

Occasionally Casambi will require you to update the firmware of the network. Without the latest firmware the network may stop functioning.

In some cases you may need to request the network password from Innerscene to update the firmware.

For more information contact [email protected]

To avoid this problem, you may wish to disable firmware update in Settings, Performance Security section of the app.
