In this section we are going to look at navigating the The Hardware Policy page as pictured below.
The page below provides a group of harware policy settings listed in a single panel. This panel has a
nested table with a series of fields that represent the policies nested within.
Hardware Policy Table
Target: provides a description the devices affected by the hardware policy.
Sensor Type: Is the device type that the Hardware Policy is applied to.
For a list of Sensor Types see (New Hardware Policy Setting Page)
Dim Level: provides a description the hardware policies' initial dim level, duration and post dim level.
Color Level: is the integer Kelvin Value for the color of the lighting in the space during the Hardware Policy Execution.
Updated By: creates a meta data trail that allows the user to see the party that was responsible for the hard-ware
policy creation and the last time it was updated
Action Buttons: are used to modify existing hardware policies. The buttons displayed are the “pencil” which will be discussed in further detail in the (Modify Existing Policy Setting) section and the “trash can” which will prompt the user for disposal of the Hardware Policy Setting.

In the diagram below are 2 fixtures and a sensor attached to a single circuit in this example we are going to assume that the cluster is just the items listed in this figure. In this section we are going to create a policy that will utilize the occupancy sensor to trigger the lights to turn on based initial detection of the user entering the space. We will set the policy timer to shut off the lights off following the expiration of the policy timer. In order to better explain this we are going to list the settings below.
Conference Room Policy:
- Auto On / Auto Off
- Vacancy Time Out: 60 mins
- Occupancy Light Level : 100%
- Vacancy Light Level: 0%

After selecting the Add Setting button you will be presented a screen shown below. We have adding the listed settings above while selecting the “OC Sensor” option which will inform the Inspextor system what event it will be listening for in order to begin execute this policy. If you review the image provided you can see that we have declared the 100% light level the length of time that it should last and the light level after the event has concluded. There are many other hardware types that can be programmed to allow the user to have more methods of input into the system. Listed below are a few more hardware types that can be programmed.
