Getting Started with Casambi
1. Download the Casambi App
The Casambi app is available for free on both iOS and Android devices. Search for "Casambi" in the App Store or Google Play Store.
2. Create or Join a Network
Purchased with a Casambi wall dimmer? If your fixture(s) were purchased together with a Casambi wall dimmer, Innerscene will have already created a Casambi network and joined both the fixture(s) and dimmer to it prior to shipping. The network name is typically your invoice number and the password is typically "CircadianSky". Open the Casambi app and join this existing network to control your fixtures.
Purchased without a wall dimmer? If your fixture(s) were purchased without a Casambi wall dimmer, you will need to create a Casambi network yourself and add the fixture(s) to it. See Casambi's guide on how to create a network for step-by-step instructions.
3. Discover Nearby Fixtures
Once connected to a network, the app will automatically discover nearby Casambi-enabled fixtures. You will see one "luminaire" appear for each Primary fixture you purchased and powered on. Secondary fixtures automatically synchronize with their Primary and do not appear separately in the app.
Understanding Primary & Secondary Fixtures
Each Innerscene installation uses Primary and Secondary fixtures:
- Primary fixtures contain an integrated Casambi controller and serve as the "leader" for a zone
- Secondary fixtures receive wireless signals from the Primary and follow its settings
- Position the Primary fixture centrally to maximize wireless range (up to 50ft / 15m)
- All fixtures in a zone should be on the same Casambi network

Basic Controls
Two Ways to Control Your Fixture
There are two ways to control and configure your Innerscene fixture:
- Casambi App (Bluetooth) — Use the Casambi app for fast, direct access via Bluetooth (BLE) to adjust CCT & intensity, and to turn the automated schedule mode on or off.
- Wi-Fi Hotspot Access — Connect to the fixture's built-in Wi-Fi hotspot to set up your circadian schedule and access more advanced configuration options. See our WiFi Connection Guide and Scheduling Setup Guide.
Adjusting Brightness & Color
Long press (tap and hold) on any luminaire to open its control panel. This reveals sliders for brightness (0-100%) and color temperature.
💡 Tip: A quick tap toggles the light on/off. Long press opens the full control panel.
Adjusting Color Temperature
Innerscene Circadian Sky fixtures support an extended CCT range from 2,200K to 200,000K. Use the color temperature slider in the Casambi app to adjust warmth. The app displays its standard range, but Innerscene maps these values to the fixture's full extended range for optimal circadian effect.

| 5,000K | 5,000K | 8,000K | 200,000K |
Values above 6,500K map to Innerscene's extended range for natural sky simulation.
Quick On/Off
Quick tap on any luminaire icon to toggle it on or off.
