Pharos Cloud
Simple, secure remote management, from any Internet-connected device, anytime, anywhere in the world.
Clients increasingly demand lighting programming changes to respond to special events or unforeseen needs. But once an installation is up and running, making changes – or investigating issues – can incur huge time, financial and environmental costs by sending someone to site.
Pharos Cloud makes it easy to achieve remote management which is truly remote. Getting access beyond the local network no longer requires additional skills or hardware, or accepting potential security risks arising from a misconfigured network.
Set-up of Pharos Cloud could not be simpler – controllers are plugged into the Internet, using industry-standard encryption. Once connected, users can access controllers via the Pharos Cloud website, from any Internet-connected device, anytime, anywhere in the world.
Why use Pharos Cloud?
Here are just a few reasons why Pharos Cloud is the right choice for your remote management needs:
No additional hardware required
Just connect the Pharos controllers to the Internet via their Ethernet port. Cloud supports all Pharos controllers that are compatible with Designer 2.
Works over any Internet connection
Controllers only need to connect out to the Internet on standard ports, so work from behind firewalls with no special configuration.
Multiple device
support
Access Cloud from the browser of any Internet-connected device, including phones, tablets and laptops.
Secure Internet-based connectivity
Using the latest encryption technologies – similar to online banking.
Control multiple sites
Control multiple Pharos sites from a single Cloud portal with a single log-in per user
Granular user permissions
Choose what features each user is permitted to access on a user-by-user and site-by-site basis.
Offline status reporting
Controller status information is stored on the Cloud servers, so problems can be diagnosed even if controllers go offline.
Low bandwidth requirements
Cloud’s communications are designed for minimal bandwidth use, ideal for cellular or low-speed connections.
Pharos Cloud functionality
Many remote management tasks can be conducted with Pharos Cloud, with more being added over the coming months. Existing functions include:
View system status
Fire triggers
Upload new programming
Adjust hardware settings

Simple, Powerful, Intuitive
The Pharos Cloud solution has been designed to manage and monitor Pharos controllers remotely. From the simple, yet intuitive user interface, you can manage all your Sites, add Users, set Permissions, see the Status of your controllers, fire Triggers and much more (depending on you plan).
Pharos Cloud delivers simple, secure remote management… from any Internet-connected device, anytime, anywhere in the world.
Site Management
Pharos Cloud is organised by “sites”. Each site can have one or more controllers and various users and permissions can be set.
Sites are linked to a subscription plan that defines its remote capabilities. All controllers in a site must be included in the same subscription plan.
Controllers that are part of a site can be at the same or different physical locations, but are managed collectively.
Subscriptions Plans

Control – all of the features of the Free plan, plus the user can see the complete device status and has the ability to fire triggers.
Maintain – end users get all the features of the Control plan, but with the additional benefits of adjusting hardware settings, reloading firmware and uploading projects. Try it free for 30 days!
