What You Need
Lightcloud Gateway
A Lightcloud installation requires
at least one Lightcloud Gateway to
manage your devices.
Lightcloud Controller

The Daylight is designed to remotely
control one or more Lightcloud devices
that are capable of switching or dimming,
such as the Lightcloud Controller or

Setup & Installation
Plug in the Daylight device (setup only)
To join Daylight to a Lightcloud network, plug it in with the included
Micro USB power adapter. The white Power Indicator will come on and
the Device Status Indicator will blink red every 10 seconds until it is joined
to your network. For setup purposes, you can plug the device in anywhere
that’s convenient, but please stay near the location where it will be perma-
nently installed in order to ensure continued network connectivity. Once
setup has been completed, you can unplug the device and it will operate
exclusively on solar power—no batteries necessary.

3Find a Suitable Location
3a The Daylight needs sunlight to operate, and must be within range
of another Lightcloud device. Direct sunlight is ideal, but indirect
sunlight may be acceptable if there’s enough of it.

Example of
ideal placement
3b A skylight is a great location for the Lightcloud Daylight. Be aware of
where shadows will land throughout the day and position the device
where it will recieve the most direct sunlight.

NOTE: Remember, south-facing surfaces usually receive more direct sunlight
than north-facing surfaces.

3d In some cases, you may want to use an extension of some kind
(not included) to mount the device from the ceiling. Just be sure
it ends up in direct sunlight as much as possible.

The Daylight must be within range of a Lightcloud device or
Gateway. See “Finding a Location”
The Daylight will not act as a “repeater” to extend the range of
your LIightcloud network. If you need to extend your network
range, use a Lightcloud Controller or other AC-powered device.

DAYLIGHT HARVESTING:
Daylight Harvesting is the use of daylight to oset the use of electric lighting to
light a space. If there’s enough daylight in a space, the Lightcloud Daylight can
make sure the lights are turned down or o, and turn them back on when the sun
goes down.
The Lightcloud Daylight automatically takes light level measurements every 10
minutes. Pressing the Device Button will make an immediate measurement. Call
or email RC, or log in to lightcloud.ca to configure actions to take at dierent
light levels, such as turning o a zone when the light level exceeds 50 foot-candles.
