On the right side, under the *Stream*, configurable properties for specific devices will be shown. After you configure them, check **Listen** checkbox inside the device node.

### Read FreeD in Layer Layouts

To use the information read by **FreeD Receiver** node in LightAct, you need to create a **Read FreeD** node in the layouts.

Choose **FreeD Receiver** device in a **Device** dropdown menu, or connect **Device reference** node to this input, and you are ready to go.
