How Tracy homeowners use the app across a year

Setup day: Zones named, everyday scene set, holiday scenes saved.
Monthly: Usually nothing — schedules run themselves.
Holidays: Scenes trigger by date without opening the app.
Game nights: Your school or pro colors on demand in a few taps.
Annually: Review schedules if your evening routine changes.

Zones are the feature worth planning

Zone layout is decided at the measure visit because the wiring must support it from install day.

A typical Tracy layout separates garage, entry, upper story and any side runs. That is what lets the entry run nightly while the rest stays dark.

Retrofitting zones later is possible but more disruptive, so it is worth thinking about before install.

Setup happens with you, not after we leave

An Exterior Prime professional builds your named scenes and schedules on site at handover.

You leave the handover with a working everyday scene, at least one holiday scene and a schedule already running.

That is deliberately different from being handed an app and a QR code.
