Smart Lighting

Learning Mode

Added learning mode to the lighting program. This mode learns the target quickly, then switches to stable mode once reached.

LearningMode

This results in reduced employee fatigue by spreading changes over a longer period, and is ideal for greenhouses where LED augments natural lighting.
