The automated scheduling capability is among the most important feature of a lighting control system. It is very much like an alarm clock; it is not forever fixed but rather needs to be adjusted from time to time.
- The schedule must be changed to accommodate impromptu events or cancelled workdays such as during typhoons.
- The schedule must match the seasonal lighting changes
The building manager must be allowed to freely adjust the schedule settings, and these should be done easily without too much of a hassle such as needing special tools, complicated software or technical knowledge.
Setting of the schedule can be done directly on the touch screen of the user touch panel device by the administrator themselves, it is clear and intuitive, which is very much unlike that of other traditional full 2-way lighting control system wherein changing the schedule requires hiring a technical specialist with a special setting tool to make changes.
Most lighting control system vendors would claim that their system would have the best features in their sales and promotions, but it is only when the system is being implemented that one would find out that the reality is that they forgot to mention that the technology is very complicated and the cost to adopt the system is prohibitively high. In contrast, with DAE’s system, the complicated logic and programming have all been built into each controller module so as to simplify the user interface as simple as possible.
