Add Wireless Drivers

Before proceeding, ensure that the latest version of your job file is saved to Dynalite Cloud (see Dynalite Cloud > Saving a Job to the Cloud).

Philips Dynalite Enabler

The Philips Dynalite Enabler (PDE) app connects to wireless drivers over Bluetooth, configures them for the PDZG-E’s Zigbee network key, and assigns each driver to your chosen area/channel(s) in the SB job file via Dynalite Cloud.

PDE requires an internet connection to access Dynalite Cloud. If there is no internet connection available in the building, you can launch the app and open the project before losing reception. Go inside and commission the project, and then synchronize the data when your device is back online.
Always make sure to synchronize the data of the commissioned project. Don’t uninstall the app or change the project as this will prevent synchronization.
