How do I change a device profile?

One feature of many Casambi devices is that the same physical hardware can be configured over-the-air to provide different functionalities depending on what it has been connected to. For example, a CBU-PWM4 can control up to 4 separate channels of an LED strip ("1ch dim", "2ch dim", "RGB", "TW" etc.).

Devices sourced directly from Casambi, or our Ecosystem product partners have the correct profiles preconfigured. If needed, standard profiles can be changed using the Casambi app. 

There are two ways to change a devices profile.

1. Directly from the properties of a device that is already Paired to a network to which you have Administrator or manager rights:
   1. Open the devices’ properties and select Model.
   2. Choose the Change profile option (if available) and select the correct profile from the displayed list.
2. For an Unpaired device displayed in the More tab, Nearby devices list:
   1. Select the device from the list
   2.  Choose the Change profile option (if available) and select the correct profile from the displayed list.

Note: If there is no option to Change profile it means that the manufacturer of the Casambi ready device has determined that the profile cannot be changed, or no alternative profile is available. If you believe a profile change should be possible, or if the desired profile is not listed, please contact the Casambi Partner/Value Added Reseller who supplied the Casambi unit.
