Space CE Configuration: Lighting

The Lighting section of a Space CE room configuration defines the lighting controls available for that room. 

Config Properties:

The lighting configuration is broken into five main components: Presets, Channel Presets, Faders, and Toggles.

Presets

Presets allow you to define lighting states that trigger specific preset indices, areas, or scenes on an integrated lighting controller device.

Property:	Type:	Description:
ID	string	The unique string identifier for the preset.
Label	string	The display name for the preset.
Device ID	string	The GUID of the lighting controller device.
Area	string	The specific area designation. C-Bus specific: Acts as the Application Number (decimal). i.e. “54” Dynalite specific: Acts as the Area ID (numerical). i.e. “23”
Fade Time	integer	The fade time of this preset. C-Bus and Dynalite specific: Defined in milliseconds.
Value	string	The Lighting Preset value, for C-Bus it’s the target level (which is programmed in C-Bus Controller), for Dynalite it’s the preset number.
Invisible	boolean	If checked, this Lighting Preset will not be visible on the touch panel interface

Channel Presets

Channel Presets define a high-level scene by explicitly setting one or more faders to target levels. Unlike Presets, Channel Presets do not send a hardware scene recall — instead they drive individual fader levels directly. They are useful when a scene must be composed from multiple faders.

Property	Type	Description
ID	string	The unique identifier for this channel preset. This value is referenced.
Label	string	The display name shown on the touch panel interface.
Invisible	boolean	When set to true, this channel preset will not be shown on the touch panel interface but can still be recalled by automation.

Additional Components

Channel Values — Defines the target fader levels that make up this preset. At least one entry is required.

Property	Type	Description
Fader ID	string	The ID of the fader to set (as defined in Lighting/Faders).
Value	integer	The target level (0–100) to set this fader to when the channel preset is recalled.

Faders

Faders provide continuous level control over specific lighting channels or application groups. Each fader represents one continuous dimming channel visible to the user on the touch panel.

Property	Type	Description
ID	string	The unique identifier for this fader.
Label	string	The display name shown on the touch panel interface.
Device ID	string	The GUID of the lighting controller device as defined in the Devices section.
Area	string	The application area on the lighting controller. C-Bus specific: Acts as the Application Number (decimal). i.e. “54” Dynalite specific: Acts as the Area ID (numerical). i.e. “23”
Fade Time	integer	The default fade time applied when changing the fader level. C-Bus and Dynalite specific: Defined in milliseconds.
Invisible	boolean	When set to true, this fader will not be shown on the touch panel interface but can still be driven by Channel Presets and automation.

Additional Components

Channel — Defines the physical lighting channels that this fader controls. Multiple channels can be targeted, and the fader level is applied to all of them simultaneously.

Property	Type	Description
ID	string	The identifier for this channel entry.
Channel ID	string	The physical channel ID on the lighting controller device that this fader controls. For CBus, this is the group address. For Dynalite, this is the channel number.

Toggles

Toggles define a simple on/off binary control for a lighting channel or group. Each toggle tracks its current state (toggled on or off) and drives the channel to a predefined level on each press.

Property	Type	Description
ID	string	The unique identifier for this toggle.
Label	string	The display name shown on the touch panel interface.
Device ID	string	The GUID of the lighting controller device as defined in the Devices section.
Area	string	The area or application group on the lighting controller. C-Bus specific: Acts as the Application Number (decimal). i.e. “54” Dynalite specific: Acts as the Area ID (numerical). i.e. “23”
Fade Time	integer	The fade time applied when toggling on or off. C-Bus and Dynalite specific: Defined in milliseconds.
Invisible	boolean	When set to true, this toggle will not be shown on the touch panel interface but can still be driven by automation.
Toggle On Value	integer	The level (0–100) the channel is set to when the toggle is switched on. Defaults to 100.
Toggle Off Value	integer	The level (0–100) the channel is set to when the toggle is switched off. Defaults to 0.

Additional Components

Channel — Defines the physical lighting channels that this toggle controls. The Toggle On Value and Toggle Off Value are applied to all channels listed. This is required when the

Property	Type	Description
ID	string	The identifier for this channel entry.
Channel ID	string	The physical channel ID on the lighting controller device that this toggle drives. For CBus, this is the group address. For Dynalite, this is the channel number.
