How To - Configure Setback in SiteWorx Tune

Updated by Steve Corbesero

Setback is only available to Admin level users.

Setback Control Panel

There are two main parameters on the Setback Control Panel:

  1. Setback Level - A fixture's light level when Setback is active
  2. Setback Mode - Enable Automatic, Scheduled, Duration, or Astronomical (Sunrise/Sunset) modes

Tips and Tricks
