The Watch app connects to the open Casambi app on the phone, and acts via the main application. The Casambi app for the Apple Watch allows limited control of a Casambi network, and the available options allow you to control all luminaires, all scenes and three favourite scenes.
Favourites
The three favourite scenes can be any scene type. The Apple Watch app automatically selects the first three scenes from your iPhone app’s Scenes tab, so the three scenes you want to use as your favourites must be moved to the top of your iPhone app’s Scenes page.
Scene names are not visible in the Apple Watch, so it is recommended to set a different colour for each of your scenes to identify the individual scenes. See the examples below.
Networks
You can change to a different network by selecting the Network option in the top left of the app.
Note: It is not possible to log into a network with the Apple Watch app. Any network you wish to use must already be accessible with your iPhone Casambi app, to be used by the Apple Watch app.
Scene control
The currently controlled scene can be identified by a grey circle around the scene icon. Like the Casambi iPhone app, scenes are highlighted when active and dimmed when inactive.
An active scene can be controlled in two ways: by the digital crown (on the side of the Apple Watch) or by the plus and minus icons in the Apple Watch app. When using the plus and minus icons in Apple Watch app, they can only be selected (tapped) repeatedly. It is not possible to hold down the plus or minus icons as this will automatically call up another Apple Watch functionality. This cannot be avoided as it is part of the Apple Watch operating system.
The dim level of the scene will appear in the dimming bar at the bottom of the display.
Note that selecting an active scene from your favourites will automatically deactivate it.
Scene list
Forcefully selecting the centre of the screen for one second will open the Scenes option. Select the Scenes option to continue to the Scenes list.
Use the digital crown to scroll up and down the Scenes list. Selecting a scene name from the list automatically activates the scene and opens the scene’s page.
Note: Hidden scenes are also visible in the Scenes list.
Once in the Scenes page, you can activate and deactivate the scene by selecting the scene icon in the centre of the screen. The scene icon will highlight or dim depending on whether it is active or not, like in the Casambi iPhone app.
The scene’s dim level can be altered by using the digital crown or the plus and minus icons, like the favourite scenes.
