Logical lighting architecture

Group fixtures into zones people understand.

A controller provides RGB Outputs. A fixture uses one output. A Zone groups one or more fixtures—normally inside a room—so they can share Looks, music and Automations.

Correct lighting workflow

Physical outputs and user-facing zones stay separate, while every connection remains traceable.

Output ≠ fixture ≠ zone

RGB Output is the controller resource and its physical R/G/B pins. Fixture is the connected lamp or an electrically linked group that always behaves together. Zone is a logical collection of independently connected fixtures. Sensors remain inputs and are never mixed into a lighting zone.

Advanced live tuning for the fixture connected to this controller output
Wiring: RGB Output 1's R/G/B channels are mapped onto header pins H30/H5/H27 on every connect (PINMAP). Common-cathode: tie the LED common pin to GND and use a 220–330 Ω resistor per channel.

A fixture remains owned by its room. A Fixture Group only references it, so the same light can participate in Party Area, Ground Floor and Welcome Path.

Which fixtures should follow this beat?

The analyser produces one shared beat clock. Commands are distributed to the selected group's real RGB outputs through the active controller transport.

System · Controllers

Every controller, clearly managed.

Add, identify, reconnect, reassign or safely remove a controller without entering installer wiring tools.

AURA controller platform

One product contract. Any validated controller.

Controllers keep one permanent identity. A versioned hardware profile defines what the board can safely do, transport adapters define how it is reached, and firmware compatibility is checked before any output is claimed.

AURA product factory

Choose the product role you are installing

The product role defines its responsibility. The hardware package and live firmware define which physical resources can actually be assigned.

Configure the gate from one guided page

Assign real controller points, prove the compulsory safety inputs, configure automatic gate lighting and connect the safety camera.

1

Gate operator

Select how the certified gate controller accepts commands.

2

Position & compulsory safety

Gate state is valid only when physical contacts confirm it. Safety remains hard-wired to the gate operator.

3

Gate light automation

Use a real output plus darkness and presence inputs. Sensor failure never creates a false “safe” status.

4

Access trigger

Use an authorised dry-contact output from an access controller. OSDP readers require a supported access adapter; raw credentials are not processed as a generic GPIO.

5

Camera handoff

Cameras are independent network devices and are managed separately from controller pins. Add as many gate cameras as the site requires in the Cameras workspace.

Review every assignment before commissioning.The system will reject duplicate controller points and unsafe gate commands.

Controller configuration

The real backend — assign which physical pin drives every zone and relay. Edit here to onboard a differently-wired controller without touching code.
USB not read Not connected

Connect a controller to read its self-description.

Templates claim all required pins together. Unsupported electrical interfaces are blocked instead of creating a device that cannot work.

Review pin assignmentsAdvanced mapping, safety validation and controller applyOpen editor

Assign only inputs the application should read. Every unassigned GPIO stays inactive and is omitted from board readings.

Each motor needs two relay pins — one per direction. Position is estimated from travel time; these motors send no feedback.

Single PWM channel per fixture. Requires firmware with PINPWM, which the AURA controllers support.

Firmware-controlled GPIO pins

Only ports implemented by the connected AURA controller firmware

Pins reserved by the current controller configuration are locked below — edit assignments above under Controller configuration.

RGB diagnostic is idle. The test never energises Pool-pump relay pins.
