Musco Lighting Setup and Calendar Export

Last Update: October 13th, 2023

You can export your facility calendar to the Musco Lighting software, which controls lighting automatically through a schedule. You must have your Musco Control-Link software account and facility information, including Musco Facility IDs and Field IDs, and username/password, which is different than your MyRec.com username/password. After receiving this information from Musco, have them turn on the ability to receive data from us. 

Daytime Lighting

If lighting is needed in the daytime, please let Musco know that there is a setting that they will need to update.

 

Setup

In order to enable the Musco Calendar Export, please contact MyRec.com customer service. You will need to give them your department’s Musco username and password. 

  1. On the MyRec.com Management side, go to the Facilities tab in the left-hand navigation menu, then select View/Search Facilities
  2. Click the Edit Musco ID’s link at the top of the screen
  3. You will need to enter the Musco Facility ID (for the parent facility) in the Musco Facility ID box, and the Musco Field ID (for the facility area) in the Musco Field ID box. 
  4. If you want to schedule an entire facility in Musco, you must provide both the Musco Facility ID and the Musco Field ID for the parent facility. If not scheduling the entire facility, the Musco Field ID for the parent facility can be left blank.
  5. When you are done entering the Musco Facility ID and Musco Field IDs, click Update
  6. The Musco ID's can also be added or edited within the facility itself by going to the Facility Info tab and clicking Edit. There will be a field for both the facility and field ID on this page.
