Controls on this screen

Connection Status

Shows whether the device is currently connected and reachable. Polls the device every 5 seconds to verify connectivity.

Temperature Monitor

Opens the [[temperature|Temperature Monitor]] page with a graph, statistics, and peer device temperatures.

Log Level

Controls the verbosity of the device's internal logging. Higher levels produce more output but may affect performance. Useful for debugging issues with Innerscene support.

  • NONE - No logging Disables all logging output. Use when no diagnostic information is needed.
  • ERROR - Errors only Logs only critical errors that may affect device operation. Minimal output.
  • WARN - Warnings and errors Logs warnings about potential issues and all errors. Good for monitoring without excessive output.
  • INFO - Information, warnings, errors (default) The default level. Logs important operational events like schedule changes, network connections, and sensor updates along with warnings and errors.
  • DEBUG - Debug and above Detailed logging for troubleshooting. Includes internal state changes, timing information, and protocol details. May slightly affect performance.
  • VERBOSE - All logging Maximum verbosity — logs everything including raw data packets, register reads, and internal calculations. Can significantly affect performance. Use only for deep debugging.
App Mode Preset

Configures logging for normal application use — enables important system messages while keeping noise low.

Quiet Mode Preset

Minimizes all logging output. Use when logging is not needed and you want maximum performance.

Debug Mode Preset

Enables detailed debug logging for troubleshooting. Produces verbose output that helps diagnose connectivity and control issues.

Photometrics Preset

Enables logging specific to light measurement, calibration, and color rendering. Used during calibration sessions.

Show Surface Lux

When enabled, displays the measured surface lux reading on the home screen below the brightness slider. Useful for verifying light output matches expectations.

  • Enabled Shows the measured surface lux value on the home screen. Useful for verifying light output during installation and calibration.
  • Disabled (default) Hides the surface lux reading from the home screen for a cleaner interface.
Console Output

When enabled, polls the device for console log output and displays it in the text area below. Shows real-time system messages, warnings, and debug information.

Console Display

Shows the device's console output in real-time when console polling is enabled. Scrolls automatically as new messages arrive.

API Test Buttons

Quick-access buttons to test individual device API endpoints. Results appear in the API Results area below. Useful for verifying device communication.

WiFi Events

Retrieves the device's recent WiFi connection events including connects, disconnects, and authentication failures.

Peer Info

Shows information about other fixtures in the wireless sync group — names, signal strength, and sync status.

IP Info

Displays the device's current IP addresses for both the access point interface and any connected WiFi network.

API Results

Displays the raw response from API tests and network diagnostic queries. Results are shown as formatted JSON text.
