Controlling Devices

You can manually control all of your Indigo devices using the device inspector view at the bottom of the main window. For automated control of devices see the Trigger Actions and Time/Date Actions sections.

Manually Controlling Devices

  1. Select Device List from the View menu.
  2. Select the device you want to control. To control multiple devices simultaneously, shift select additional devices.
  3. Use the controls in the device inspector area at the bottom of the main window to send commands to the device, such as Turn Off, Turn On, Dim, Brighten, All Lights On, etc.

You can see the progress of commands being sent from Indigo to the interface by watching the Indigo interface progress bar in the lower-left corner of the main window. Green bars in the progress bar going left to right indicate an outgoing command that Indigo is sending to the interface, which then sends it onto the power line. A purple bar going from right to left indicates that Indigo has received a device message from the computer interface. Use the Event Log window to see the status of the sent message and to help troubleshoot any errors.
