Wall Switches will behave differently depending on whether they are associated with a “parent” or
“child” Location. Typically, a Wall Switch can control Fixtures that are in the same Location.
However, if a Wall Switch is placed in a “parent” Location that has Fixtures in its “child”
Locations, it can control the dimming of these Fixtures as well. However, the other non-dimming
Switch functionality, such as Sensor readings and Scene control, are available only for the
specific Location in which the Wall Switch is placed, but not for its children.
Defining Locations
The organization of Fixtures and Locations is done through the Redwood Manager’s Location
Editor tab. Fixtures are stored in Locations within a hierarchical tree structure. "All Locations"
appears at the top of the tree. Sub-Locations can be created within top-level Locations and can
be nested in multiple levels. Fixtures may be at any Location in the hierarchical tree except under
"All Locations".
To access the Location Editor tab, first go to the Redwood Manager by clicking Manage Lighting
on the splash screen. Then select the Location Editor tab, which allows you to create, modify,
and delete Locations. Fixtures can be dragged and dropped into these Locations. To select
multiple Fixtures, hold down the Shift key while clicking. You can sort columns by clicking on the
field header. To sort multiple columns, press the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option + Command
keys (Mac OS) while clicking.
