TIP: Confirm Your Astera Lights with an ARC1

The ON button on the IR Remote (ARC1) has the exact same function as either the ON button on the AX3 or the ENTER button on lights with an LCD.  It confirms things.

It is extremely useful if, for example, you wish to factory reset twenty AX10 or AX7 at the same time; you just use the 'Lights Factory Reset' feature within the app, and when your lights are flashing white waiting for you to 'confirm' the reset by tapping them, instead you just press ON with the IR Remote a few times and you are done – everything should be confirmed.  No need to bend down and confirm each AX10 or AX7 individually (which can take forever!).


Use A to activate reset, B to confirm.  No need to touch C at all.

You can also use this IR function to confirm lights as part of a set, however this is more likely that you will include lights into the set that you perhaps did not intend to, so the IR Remote needs to be pointed directly at the lights you wish to confirm.

Note:  This has worked for all Astera lights since 2010*.  It's just one of those hidden tricks that hasn't been promoted (until now) because it got lost in the shuffle of other great benefits to our system.  

* It does not work for all AL6 Wireless Wallwasher fixtures because they do not have an IR receiver.
