Guides
Task-oriented how-tos — each one walks through accomplishing a specific goal. Unlike the Admin Reference (which documents every screen) or Concepts (which explains how things work), guides are step-by-step recipes.
Devices & hardware
- Commission a Device — add hardware, bring its driver online, control it
- Discover Devices with the Network Scanner — auto-find network hardware
- Troubleshoot a Device — diagnose a device that won't connect or respond
Automation
- Build a Macro (Scene) — create a reusable sequence of actions
- Create a Trigger — run a macro when an event occurs
- Schedule a Macro — run a macro by time or sunrise/sunset
- Wire a Motion-Activated Light — a full walkthrough combining triggers and macros
User interfaces
- Create a UI — a dashboard instance; manual vs space-linked zones, controls
- Wire Scene Buttons onto a UI — one-tap macro buttons
- Build a UI Page with Widgets — a custom dashboard page
Audio / video
- Set Up an AV Zone with Sources — a listening/viewing area that plays sources
- Route a Source to Multiple Zones — global sources and matrix routing
- Configure Channels — TV channel lineups by provider
- Set Up a Multiview — a grid of video feeds on one display
Access & security
- Create a Role — define a permission set (RBAC)
- Create a User and Assign Roles — add a person and scope their access
- Define an Access Rule — link a PIN/RFID/REX/call to an action
- Set Up a Notification Profile — channels and delivery schedule

Guides live in docs/guides/ and are hand-authored — they are intentionally outside the per-commit documentation generator, which only maintains the Admin Reference under docs/admin/.
