  • Tapping a home function shortcut will display the relevant screen on your Brilliant control.  

Scene Shortcuts

  • Scene shortcuts correspond to a particular scene in your Brilliant home. 
  • Tapping a scene shortcut will execute the relevant scene.  

Device Shortcuts

  • Device shortcuts correspond to a particular device added to your Brilliant home. 
  • Tapping a device shortcut will display a screen to adjust the relevant device.   
  • Device shortcuts also display a status for certain types of devices (e.g., if a light is ON or OFF).  

Room Shortcuts: 

  • Room shortcuts correspond to a particular room in your Brilliant home. 
  • Tapping a room shortcut will display a screen listing the devices assigned to the relevant room.

Pinning Shortcuts from the Home Screen
