1. OVERVIEW
The basic conguration of a Casambi system is covered in Casambi’s own Casambi App User guide
which can be found here: https://support.casambi.com/support/solutions/folders/12000015883
This guide acts as a complementary document and intends to make recommendations to users
on how to apply the unique properties of CP Electronics sensors and highlight the most ecient
methods to make the conguration process faster and smoother.
1.1. EQUIPMENT AND CONNECTIONS
The Casambi system structure is as follows:
Dierent models of CP Electronics Casambi sensors will have dierent xture IDs for example
EBDHS-B-CB-DD for a high bay sensor or EBDSPIR-CB-DD for a standard ceiling sensor.
1.2. LOCATION OF INFORMATION ON THE CONFIGURATIONS
The commissioning process creates:
1. Automation congurations that determine the control behaviours are stored in the eld
devices, such as within the CP Electronics sensors.
2. Project information such as the specic names of the devices that gives it relevance to the real
world and its location are stored within the mobile device via the app.
2

1 2
1.3. EQUIPMENT AND INTERNET ACCESS
1.3.1 EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
A mobile device running the Casambi user app, downloadable from the Apple store for iOS
devices or Google Play store for Android devices, is used as the conguration tool. The minimum
specication requirement for equipment will be detailed in the app stores as they may change
from time to time as the soware gets further and further updated.
1.3.2 NFC FEATURE REQUIRED
Ensure the mobile device to be used for conguration has the NFC near eld feature available as
this will be required to congure the Casambi EnOcean wireless wall switches.
1.3.3 INTERNET ACCESS
A lot of congurations can be done without needing to access the internet; however, it is best to
request for this to be available to ensure that full conguration is possible.
Internet access is necessary to allow the app to load from the Casambi cloud with properties
information on the discovered device. Therefore, for initial information about the discovered
devices, it may be necessary to have internet access in order to perform this task. The app will,
however, try its best to congure the devices so long as it has the information already. Obviously,
it would NOT be able to synchronise to the cloud for any backup of the information created and
would reside therefore only on the mobile device and on the eld devices.
1.4. CP ELECTRONICS SENSOR FIRMWARE UPDATES
Since newer CP Electronics sensors can be easily updated to the Casambi cloud, any user with the
Casambi app can update their installed sensors in situ wirelessly with no physical disruption.
However, if these updates are applied, they should apply to all of the units on-site to oer good
consistency of behaviour. Each rmware update takes about a minute to perform and MUST be
done manually one by one so this can be a lengthy process that might not always be worthwhile.
It may be better to set the units to ignore updates unless absolutely necessary to avoid
additional work.

2. APPLICATION OVERVIEW
Each project is constructed as a network. Each network will have its security levels permitted to
certain login credentials. Once logged into the Casambi user app, multiple networks or multiple
projects become accessible.
Each network can be given names relevant to the project.
Network ‘My Network’
Network ‘Sales demo’
2.1. APP VIEW ON NETWORKS:
On the Casambi app, all the networks available are listed under ‘Change networks’. Normally, this
page is skipped, and the app enters directly to the network that it detects.
2.2 CREATE A NETWORK
Tap ’Create a network’ and it asks for name and details to be set up.
2.2.1 Classic is the original network
Max number of nodes : 127 devices
User permissions : limited
2.2.2 Evolution is the upgraded network
Max number of nodes : 250 devices
User permissions : full
2.2.3. Balanced mode or better performance
With Evolution networks, it defaults to use ’Better
Performance’ mode which may not work with older versions
of EnOcean switches. If in doubt, use ’Balanced’ mode
whenever EnOcean switches are required.

3 4
2.3 CONTROL LINKS AND WORKFLOW
Each light xture is grouped to act with the same behaviour using scenes. Control functions, such
as occupancy control, then call these scenes to activate them. The luminaire groups cannot be
used in conjunction with these scenes and they are primarily for manual group switch and dim
operation on the app only.

5 6
3. CASAMBI USER APP
Within the Casambi system, CP Electronics sensors are congured as ’luminaires with sensors’.
Only light xtures are shown in the app and sensors are built as control properties. Sensors are
therefore, not displayed in the gallery tab (used as the oor plan display in the app).
3.1. [LUMINAIRES] TAB
Controls are generally accessed in the ‘luminaires’ Tab.
HERE ARE THE BASIC GESTURES TO CONTROL
LIGHTS:
To turn o or on a luminaire just tap the luminaire.
Or PRESS and HOLD to bring out the controls.
Pan the luminaire control le or right to adjust the
light level of the luminaire. The app will remember the last light level, so when you turn the light
on again it will return to the previous level. Pan the lamp control up or down to adjust the colour
temperature of the luminaire.
3.1.1. [GROUPS]
Note that groups are predominantly designed for manual operation using the app, and scenes
MUST be used for automation such as occupancy and daylight control.
3.2. [GALLERY TAB]
The gallery tab merely oers a way to display where the lighting xtures are for operation testing
and showing their status. This step is not a necessity for lighting controls to be performed.

5 6
3.3. [SCENES TAB]
Create scenes as necessary in preparation for them to be called by triggers such as movement
detection, wall switch operation or time events etc.
Tap [Scenes] and tap top right on [Edit] and then top le on [+] to add a new scene.
3.3.1. SCENES FOR CP ELECTRONICS SENSORS WITH SWITCHING AND DIMMING OUTPUTS
CP Electronics sensors have a great feature of built-in outputs for both switched power output and
a DALI dimming output. The value of these two can be dened by the user as part of the scene
denition. Since many light ttings equipped with DALI gear require only the DALI dimming lines
to switch and dim, the switched output available from CP Electronics sensors can oer a function
similar to that of an extra channel of control. For example as shown in the diagram overleaf, the
switched output could provide separate switch on/o of the row of lights nearest to the projection
screen whilst the DALI dimming line is controlling the daylight-linked dimming of the whole room.
Tap and HOLD on the
chosen sensor to bring
out the slider to set the
dimmed light level and
the switched output
status.

7 8
3.3.2. Valid Sensor Output Settings:
Dim Out : 1-100% Switched Out (L-Out): OFF OK!
Dim Out : 0% Switched Out (L-Out): OFF OK!
Dim Out : 1-100% Switched Out (L-Out): ON OK!
Dim Out : 0% Switched Out (L-Out): ON Not Valid!
The scenario of dimming level at zero and the switched output being ON is NOT a valid scene
setting. This is because the dimming control routines in the sensor such as light output regulation
with daylight control will control both the dimming output and the switched output so that a
simple Lux ON and Lux OFF control can be deployed even for non-dimmable light ttings.
3.3.3. Overide Switched Output to OFF During Daylight Control
When daylight control is applied, the dimming output will vary continuously responding to the light
sensor readings. Scenes with the switched output set to OFF can override the light control such
that it keeps the switched output to OFF even at low daylight levels that demand the switch ON of
the lights. In this case, only the DALI dimming output level will change from 0% to a higher value.
Eectively, this oers a scene that switches OFF the whiteboard lights separately from the rest of
the room.

3.3.4. Daylight Control Settings
Closed loop A target Lux level is manually specied and the sensor will actively try to reach and
maintain the Lux level via a feedback loop (by
observing the results of its own changes). Sensors
are aected by luminaires and this mode can only
operate when it is the highest priority item on the
control hierarchy. An example of this is a group of
luminaires controlled by a daylight sensor located in
the same area as the luminaires.
Steps: To avoid inuence from other settings,
assign these to the CP initial values (see
appendix 1), then apply the steps below
1. Double tap on the scene that will have daylight
control to open the content of the scene. => Tap the
[Settings] icon at the bottom right
2. Choose the daylight control option
3. Set Mode of operation:
a. Basic ON/OFF, or close loop or open loop.
=> choose [Closed loop]
4. Select the [Controlling sensors]:
a. Choose one from the list. When multiple sensors are
chosen, their average value will be used.
5. Enable [Use the full dim range]. This MUST be set for
the CP Electronics sensor to respond.
6. Set the slider for [Desired Illuminance]: e.g. 500 Lux.
a. Tap the number to input exact value.
All the luminaires within this scene will now be under
the control of the daylight control function. Allow a minute or so for it to take eect. The default
settings will give a slow but smooth non-distracting response.
3.3.5. Faster Response Behaviour Settings
CP Electronics sensors can give faster daylight control
response if the [Sensitivity] set higher. A lower
[Tolerance] setting aims to achieve closer to the desired
set level. The fastest response without much overshoot
is recommended as follows so try to stay under these
settings where possible.
Edit these properties of the light sensor by tapping [Edit]
on the top right of the [Luminaire] page:
Double tap the sensor and amend the properties
including those to do with light level control.
7 8

9 10
The desired target and light control speed of response is set within the chosen scene as mentioned
earlier in the set up steps.
3.3.6 Other Methods of Daylight Control
Basic (ON/OFF) Luminaires will switch ON or OFF based on two congurable Lux threshold levels.
Sensors may or may not be aected by the nearby luminaires and the mode only operates when
it is the highest priority item on control hierarchy. The scene’s output is always dened by the
dimming level(s) of the luminaires selected within the scene.
Open loop Luminaire output level (0-100%) is obtained by comparing the sensor’s Lux reading
against a response graph. Sensors should not be aected by the luminaires in the network and
this mode can operate on the control hierarchy even if it is not the highest priority item. Some
examples of this are: a group of luminaires controlled by a daylight sensor installed in a separate
location to the luminaires or controlled by a sensor facing towards a window away from the
luminaires.

3.4. MORE MENU […]
All other control functions can be found under the […] More menu at the
bottom right.
Timer, sensor and switch control can be accessed here.
Also, use the [Network setting] option to activate the [Control
hierarchy] to allow occupancy control.
3.5. ACTIVATE [USE CONTROL HIERARCHY] FOR OCCUPANCY CONTROL
The [Use control hierarchy] option MUST be activated in order to congure for occupancy
control.
At the bottom right under:
Choose [Network Setup], then [Control options] which opens the
screen shown to the right then: slide right [Use control hierarchy]
to switch to ON. An @ button will appear in the lower le of the page
which when tapped will allow the end-user to manually resume
network automation when needed.
3.6. PICK SENSOR FOR OCCUPANCY CONTROL
Tap
Here, choose [Sensors] and select an occupancy sensor for the control group.
Then select the control mode and ON/OFF scenes:
a) Presence (need to set only the ON scene, the OFF scene will only be OFF so no need to
specify the scene)
b) Presence / Absence (need to set the ON and OFF scenes)
c) Absence only (need to set the OFF scene only)
d) Set the linger time. This is the time-out period.
e) Set the fade time. This is the time takes to dim and fade to 0% (OFF).
9 10

11 12
3.6.1 SETTING THE DIMMING AND SWITCHED OUTPUT VALUES IN SCENES
Refer to the [Scene] section earlier in this document for details of the valid output settings in
relation to the switched output in relation to the dimming output.
3.6.2 ADD MORE SENSORS TO THE GROUP
For additional sensors controlling the same group of luminaires, the above needs to be repeated
for the additional sensors setting them to call the same scenes.
The net eect is that each sensor will time-out to their own setting and when all of them have
timed-out the occupancy is determined to be inactive and starts the fade and switch o process.
3.7 TIMER SETTINGS
There are no special arrangements required for CP Electronics devices as these follow exactly
as per the Casambi implementation. They are intuitive and are entirely under the control of the
Casambi system. They may or may not override the occupancy controls etc. based on the order of
the control hierarchy.
3.8 CONTROL HIERARCHY PRIORITIES
When the highest priority control is removed, the luminaires will fade into the next highest priority.
If the hierarchy is empty, the luminaire will turn OFF.
Priority levels
• Manual control (app, switches, push buttons)
• Date timers (with sensor override)
• Weekday timers (with sensor override)
• Presence sensors
• Date timers
• Weekday timers

11 12
3.8.1 Manual Control
Manual lighting control has the highest priority and will always override the automated control. It
can be set to timeout or stay on indenitely. There are congurable timeouts for manual control
assigned for day and night periods of each weekday.
When the timeout is reached, the manual control will be removed and the luminaire fades out to
the next highest priority control. Setting the timeout value to zero will disable timeout, but in this
case manual control is always overriding presence sensors and timers.
When luminaires display the @ icon it indicates that it is under automated lighting control
(presence sensors or timers). Tapping the @ button will remove the manual control from all
luminaires or opened group.
3.9 USING ENOCEAN SWITCHES
3.9.1 BALANCED NETWORK MODE ONLY
EnOcean switches can be added in networks created as evolution networks but must be set to use
the balanced Mode.
3.9.2 CREATE THE NETWORK WITH BALANCED MODE
Ensure the network is created as ’balanced’ at the point of creation. It can NOT be changed
aerwards.
Balanced

13 14
3.10 ADDING THE ENOCEAN SWITCH
EnOcean switches are added using the Near Field NFC interface built into the latest mobile devices.
Therefore, ensure the device chosen for performing the commissioning has NFC built-in to that device
when conguring EnOcean switches.
Access the switches menu under the […] More tab at the bottom right.
Incompatible units added when in ’better
performance’ mode networks can fail
with this warning. Use ’balanced’ mode
instead should this message appear.
For iPhone 7, the best result was found
by placing the top of the phone just at
the bottom edge of the EnOcean switch
unit and tap down to the unit.
Other mobile phones may have their
NFC sensors elsewhere so try tapping at
various points to nd the best result.
Place the top end of the
phone near to the EnOcean
switch and make a tap
action for best response.

3.11 ASSIGNING FUNCTIONS TO THE BUTTONS
Each button can be set as scene calls or used as toggle ON/OFF control of an individual or group of
luminaires.
The example shows the setting as a scene call for button 1.
3.11.1 Control Switch Output Only - Element Control
A button can be assigned to control only an element of the sensor which in this case is the
switched output which can be controlled without changing the state of the dimming output.
13 14

15 16
3.12 MANUAL TIME-OUT
To avoid lights being wastefully lit ON indenitely, there is also a backup manual time out where
manual switch operations will time out and turn o the lights automatically should no other
automation turn it o.
Choose [Network setup], then [Control options], then scroll to the option below:
4. EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
4.1. DAYLIGHT OCCUPANCY FOR DIMMABLE AND NON-DIMMABLE LIGHTS
A dimmable window row of lights + inner row of non-dimmable lights both under occupancy
control and daylight control.
Sets the manual switch time-out to turn lights o aer this period
as a regime based on the day or night of the week.
e.g. day 2hr:01mins / night 2hrs:01mins

Implementation
Programming Steps on the Casambi app:
1. Discover nearby devices and add to desired network name as e.g. Regents Floor 1
a. Choose to use the [Evolution] network for the
latest features.
2. Create the occupancy ON scene for occupancy control:
a. Tap the [Scenes] tab and then [Edit]
b. Tap [+] at the top le to add a scene. Enter scene
name e.g. ’All On + Daylight’ and choose the group
or all the luminaires to be controlled within this
scene.
c. Press and hold each luminaire to get the slider to
the set it for example, dim=50% brightness level,
and switched output=ON.
d. Tap [Done] to nish the settings for the scene.
3. Refer to the Appendix 1 and set all the parameters
under dierent menus to the CP Electronics Initial Setup
values.
4. Select [Use Control hierarchy] to allow occupancy
control:
a. Tap
15 16
Function Implementation
Occupancy
(presence)
with
daylight
dimming
and
switching
Occupancy: switches ON/OFF
both dim row channel and inner
row switched output channel.
Daylight: control should dim
based on available daylight.
Should there be enough ambient
daylight, it may dim to 0% and
turn o the non-dimmable lights
also.
Occupancy settings:
Mode = Presence / Absence
ON Scene = Switched out : ON,
Dim out : 50%
OFF scene = Switched out : OFF
Dim Out : 0%
Daylight control settings:
Mode = closed loop
Desired Level = 500 lux
Set Daylight min dim = 0%
Alternative
daylight dim
to minimum
(e.g. 3%)
Daylight should dim to min
(e.g.3%) and keep the switched
output channel ON.
As above but set:
Daylight min dim = 3%

Choose [Network setup], then enable [Use control hierarchy]. This enables occupancy control
to work with switch control and other types of control.
5. Setting occupancy to control both the ’inner row’ and ’dim row’:
a. Within the [Luminaire] tab, double tap on the
luminaire group to edit.
b. Under Presence sensors, tap the ‘>’ arrow to
the next page and tap ‘>’ again to see the occupancy
options.
c. Tap [Presence/Absence] to choose occupancy
control mode (Presence or Presence/Absence or
Absence):
Alternatively, the [Presence] mode can be chosen but its
OFF control works without an OFF scene so it can only
control the Ch2 dimming output and does not turn o
the Ch1 switched output.
i. Tap [Presence scenes]
1. Tap the ON scene already made or choose
multiple scenes to be controlled. In this case
you can select both ’inner row ON’ and ’dim
row ON’ scenes
ii. Tap [Absence scenes]
1. Tap the OFF scene already made or choose
multiple scenes to be controlled. In this case
you can select both ’inner row OFF’ and ’dim row OFF’ scenes
iii. Adjust [Linger time] (time-out period) to 20 seconds
iv. Adjust [Fade time] (time period of fade to OFF aer time-out period)
6. Test for Occupancy Operation:
a. Tap the [Luminaire] tab, then tap [a] at bottom le to resume automatic control.
b. Cover the sensor for >20 seconds for the sensor to time-out and see the lights operate to
the assigned OFF scene.
c. Trigger the sensor with movement and see the lights go to the ON scene.
4.2. ADDING SCENE SWITCH FOR ABSENCE MODE
As per the previous example of using a dimmable window row of lights an inner row of
non-dimmable lights both under occupancy control and daylight control but this time adding the
control of a scene plate to work the room in absence mode. This example also oers whiteboard
row switching o.
