Pharos Space

The Pharos Space driver allows you to control or receive feedback from a Space in the Pharos Expert product. It allows you to:

• Activate Scenes (or off) within an Expert controller.
• Set the Master Intensity level for a space within the Expert controller.

In order to use the driver, the Control4 project must include a Pharos Controller driver to facilitate communication with the controller.

Exposed Proxy

This driver exposes the Space master intensity via a Light v2 Proxy.

Exposed Variables

The driver exposes variables:

• Brightness Percent - returns the Expert Space Master value in percent.
• Active Scene Name - returns the name of the active Expert Scene
• Active Scene Number - returns the number of the active Expert Scene

In Composer Pro, navigate to the Connections tab, select the space driver and drag and drop the input on to the output:

Properties and Actions

Once configured, navigate to the Actions tab and press the Query Scenes button to retrieve the available scenes from the Expert controller.

Activating Scenes
