A enclosed public room is sometimes occupied and sometimes vacant. They are unlike large open public spaces and instead require the use of sensors and switches for the purpose of local control. Below are some of the more common methods applicable to such spaces, and which also the specialty of DAE. Set up simply requires a tablet computer with the appropriate interface converter.

1. Manual on, sensor auto off – for places such as reception rooms, reading rooms, small offices, study rooms, labs, etc.
   1. Wall switches are installed that can be used by the occupant to turn the lights on or off as needed.
   2. If the occupant leaves but forgets to turn off the lights, the sensor will automatically turn the lights off after 10 minutes (adjustable) of not detecting the presence of the occupant.
2. Manual on, delay auto off – for hallways, stairwells and other passageways.
   1. Multiple push button wall switches are installed along the length of the passage, the user can turn the lights on or off from any of these switches.
   2. If the lights are not turned off manually after 5 minutes (adjustable) the lights will automatically be turned off by the smart switch.
3. Multiple access – large storage rooms, warehouses, and large data centers
   1. Multiple push button wall switches are installed in convenient areas that allows the user to turn the lights on and off.
4. Centralized control during peak hours, local switch control during off-peak hours
   1. Peak hours – the lights are forcibly controlled from the control center and the local wall switches are disabled.
   2. Off-peak hours – The control center relinquishes control to the local wall switches, allowing the user to turn the lights on and off as needed.
5. Centralized control during peak hours, local sensor control during off-peak hours
   1. Peak hours – Depending on whether the local area is daylit or not, the control center will then either forcibly turn the lights on or off, and the local sensors are disabled.
   2. Off-peak hours – The control center relinquishes control to the local sensors; people come, lights turn on; people leave, lights turn off.

There many different areas in a factory, different areas have different functions and thus the method of control for each are also different.

1. Large office areas
   Many employees who work at the factory office are often not at their desks and instead roaming the factory; thus, the office lighting should be divided into department sections, this way, each section can be controlled separately and only as needed. There should be a single switch to turn off all the lights so that the last person to leave the office can simply press one switch to turn off all the lights.
2. Small offices or work rooms
   Press once to turn on, press again to turn off; for both the lights and air conditioning.
3. Small meeting rooms
   Press once to turn on, press again to turn off; for the lights with the option to control the air conditioning as well.
4. Warehouse, equipment rooms
   These have large areas, and should divided into sections for control, each area would be controlled by a sensor with delayed auto off. If the lights are required to remain on for prolonged periods, then there should be a switch in the vicinity to control the lights in that section, a long press would then force the lights the remain on and disregard the sensor. Another press would restore the auto off mode. Or digital switches can also be installed in several places which would then allow for access from multiple locations.
5. Corridors
   Different methods can be used depending on the space. For hallways adjacent to windows or with natural lighting, lux sensors can be used to turn on the lights when daylight is not enough and automatically turn the lights off. Or multiple switches (with auto off capability) can be placed strategically along the length of the hallway that allow multiple access and also can be integrated into the control center.
6. Outdoor lighting
   There should be scheduled control with different preset times for each month that change with the seasons. They can also be integrated into the control center.
7. Centralized control over all lighting and air conditioning, and area scheduled control
8. Large conference rooms
   Digital switches should be used with pre-assigned patterns for instant recall depending on the event. Digital switches would also control the air conditioning.
9. Workshop and machinery rooms
   Digital switches would be installed in the workshop, these switches carry signal only and not the actual power to the machines, the switches are linked to the control panels though a digital bus cable. These switches allow the operator to operate the machines from the workshop instead of having to go back and forth to the machinery room.
10. Workshop lighting
    The lighting would be placed into circuit groups according to their task, the lights would be divided into sections with sectional control, and would also be centrally controlled. There is no need for an all-on and all-off switch.
11. Air conditioning blower fans
    There would be local switches for control with central control as well.
12. Emergency power control
    When the power is out, to maximize the utility of the generators, there would be a priority in what equipment to power. Once normal utility power is restored, each load would be switched over in the right sequence.
13. Emergency help button
    When something unexpected occurs, the emergency button can be pressed which would then flash and sound the alarm simultaneously in different places and also display the location of the emergency to allow for immediate action.
