There are two distinct types of areas in the WaveLinx Lite system.

wallstation needs to control 9 light fixtures in a room, the wallstation and 9 light fixtures need
to be provisioned in the same area to allow this control. Up to 50 provisioned devices (40 best

unique Bluetooth mesh network among the provisioned devices

are organized in zones within the area while wallstations are organized
in the area.
Standalone Area: In some instances, devices that directly control lighting may need to
operate autonomously without interaction with other controls. These devices can be assigned

to the quantity of devices that may be provisioned in a standalone area.
Devices within a standalone area do not form a Bluetooth mesh network. When updating a
device’s settings, the
mobile application will communic

mobile device running the WaveLinx Lite application must be within 60 feet of the desired
device.
Note that wallstations have no use case in a standalone area and cannot be assigned
