How to create a Site

Modified on Wed, 11 Dec at 7:09 AM

The Site feature allows you to control multiple networks simultaneously, create site-wide scenes and site-wide timers. For example, a building with three floors could be assigned a separate network for each floor and a site could then be used to connect the three floors and control them simultaneously.

In order to use this feature, it must first be enabled in the App settings section of the app. Each network in the site must also have a gateway enabled, and it is recommended that changes to a network should not be made once it has been added to a site.

Before creating a Site it is necessary to either login or create a new account for Sites. This account is used only for Casambi Sites.

Creating a Sites Account

Go to More -> Account and either login to existing account with email and password or create a new account.

Once you have logged in to your account you can create a new site.

Creating a new Site

Go to More -> Change Site or select Sites from the opening screen. New site can be created by tapping on the + sign on top right.

Add a name for your Site. It is also possible to add an address for the site. To create the site tap on "Create".

Now the created site is visible in Sites list.

After creating the site it is possible to add networks to it.

Adding networks to Site

To add networks tap on the created site in Sites list and the Networks screen is opened. Tap on the "Add a network to site" and the list of available networks will open.

A network can be added to the site if it has a gateway enabled and if you have the modification rights to that network. For more information about gateway, please see article in http://support.casambi.com/support/solutions/articles/12000017046-how-to-enable-a-gateway-for-a-network-

Tap on the network you want to add and the network will be added to the Networks screen. It is possible to add more networks by tapping on the + sign. After all desired networks are added to the site tap on Done.

After creating a Site it is possible to add more users to it.

Adding users to a Site

To add more users go to More -> Privileges and tap on the + sign. Enter the user's email address. Note that new users need to have a Site Account. Please see the first section in this article on how to create an Account.

There are three different levels of privileges:

User (default): Can use the Site or network but cannot make any modifications

Manager: Can use the Site or network and can modify settings but cannot assign privileges to the other accounts

Admin: Can modify all the settings and can also assign privileges to other accounts

Deleting a Site

To delete a site go to More -> Site setup -> Delete site.
