How do I set color zones with Trimlight Edge?
Color zoning allows different sections of your home to display separate colors or patterns within the same Trimlight Edge design. By using the controller outputs and the custom pattern page, you can highlight individual roof peaks, garage areas, entryways, upper levels, and other architectural features.
The zones available in the Trimlight Edge app depend on how your permanent lighting system was installed. Each controller output may operate a particular run of lights or section of the home. A larger property with several rooflines may have multiple programmable sections, while a smaller installation may have fewer areas available.
Open the custom pattern page in the Trimlight Edge app and choose the colors you want to use. Apply those colors to the available sections, then watch the lights on your home to see which area responds. This will help you identify the portion of the system controlled by each output.
You can use color zoning to give every part of the home its own look. For example, the garage could display one color, the upper roofline could display another, and the front entrance could use a third. Repeating the same colors across several sections can create a balanced design, while contrasting colors can draw attention to individual peaks or other architectural details.
Color zoning is useful for holidays, game days, school colors, birthdays, parties, and everyday accent lighting. You could alternate red and green sections for Christmas, use patriotic colors across different roof peaks, or coordinate the entire display with the colors of a favorite team.
As you make changes, preview the display and adjust the color assignments until the lighting appears the way you want. Every Trimlight installation is different, so the sections shown in your app may not match another home or the examples shown in the tutorial. The number of controller outputs, the order of the lights, and the layout of the roofline all affect how the available zones are organized.
Once the design is complete, save the pattern so you can quickly select it again or add it to a schedule. Watch the video below for a step-by-step demonstration of creating, adjusting, and managing color zones in the Trimlight Edge app. If the available sections do not match the areas you expected, contact your local Trimlight dealer for help identifying the controller outputs used for your installation.
