Lighting management with Casambi
INTELLIGENT WIRELESS CONTROL VIA APP
Lighting control doesn't have to be complicated. With the Casambi control system, you can set up a professional lighting management system quickly, easily and without any technical knowledge.
WHAT IS CASAMBI?
Casambi is a wireless lighting management solution based on Bluetooth Low Energy technology for the intelligent and automated wireless control of LED luminaires and other devices.
The special feature of this innovative lighting management technology is that it can combine and manage up to 250 luminaires and devices within a single system (Bluetooth mesh or network), making it ideal for small, medium and large lighting systems alike. The connected devices can be conveniently set and controlled via smartphone or tablet using an app.
Casambi stands out from other lighting management systems thanks to its particularly simple installation and intuitive operation. For example, the app can be used to set parameters such as color, brightness, etc. for individual luminaires or entire groups of luminaires. These settings can be subsequently changed at any time and without any effort. By integrating sensors such as daylight or motion sensors, the artificial light can be automatically adjusted to the corresponding conditions, resulting in even more efficient electricity cost savings. The Casambi system is suitable for all applications and building systems, whether large or small, indoor or outdoor, industrial or residential. As Casambi works with both DALI and 0-10V, the control system is particularly versatile.
WHAT IS REQUIRED?
» Free Casambi app: Android (Google Play Store) iOS (App Store)
» A smartphone or tablet (Android or Apple iOS)
» Casambi-compatible LED lights (e.g. EiKO lights)
» Optional: sensors, push-buttons, switches, dimmers
HOW DOES THE CONTROL UNIT WORK?
In order for the wireless mesh network to function, each luminaire is equipped with a Casambi controller. The special feature of the system is that all elements such as controllers, sensors (light and movement) and push-buttons are both transmitters and receivers of commands at the same time. Information is passed on to each other. This means that the network does not require a central control unit. Each luminaire in the mesh has a radio range of 30 to 50 m, which is increased from luminaire to luminaire. The lighting network is set up, configured and controlled via the free Casambi app. Luminaires and functions can be added, moved or removed at any time, making the system extremely flexible and easy to operate and change. Newly implemented luminaires can be configured and managed in the network with just a few clicks. After programming, the smartphone (or similar) no longer needs to be within range of the network components, provided a gateway is available.

Functions
Grouping
Fixtures can be assigned to groups, to which different settings can then be assigned.
Galery
Using the gallery function, a photo of the room can be uploaded to the app and then the positions of the lights that are to be controlled can be marked.
Creating light scenes
With this function, several fixtures can be controlled simultaneously at the touch of a button to provide the right lighting for a specific event. Each luminaire can be assigned to several light scenes.
Animating light scenes
It is also possible to arrange several light scenes one after the other so that they are played in sequence. The duration and fade time can be set individually.
Color control
Users can save their preferred light colors in a color palette, provided that the luminaires in question can reproduce several light colors.abbilden können werden.
Color temperature
The color temperature of HCL-compatible lights can be changed at any time. All the user has to do is move their finger over a luminaire symbol.
Daylight sensors
If sufficient daylight is available, the artificial light can be automatically dimmed accordingly thanks to the sensors. This reduces energy consumption while maximizing light quality.
Motions sensors
Motion sensors can also save energy by only switching the lighting on when people are present.
Calender and timer
Scenes and animations can be switched on or off by default based on a time, date or day of the week.
Sunrise / sunset
If the time zone and the location of the network are set, Casambi can calculate the times of local sunrises and sunsets.
Control hierarchy
The control hierarchy coordinates the cooperation between manual controls (switches, buttons, app) and automated controls (sensors, timers).
Gateway function
The gateway function enables remote access to the Casambi network. An iOS or Android device must be connected in order to use the remote access function.
Scalability
Casambi is suitable as a lighting control system for both small and large rooms, buildings, halls, etc. Any number of such networks can be created and edited simultaneously within the app.
Synchronization
The Casambi system performs synchronizations independently. If a unit is offline, it loads all changes and updates itself as soon as it is online again.
Lighting management with EnOcean
WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM
Companies eligible for an ISO 50.001 certification can now use EiKO intelligent light management to easily monitor and analyze the entire energy consumption of their assets. A new lighting system with daylight tracking and presence detector saves up to 80% of energy cost when compared to a traditional lighting system.
SAVINGS POTENTIAL
When using presence detectors and/or predefined power-on time, you can additionally save up to 20-40% of your energy cost
When using daylight tracking you can save up to 80% of your energy consumption
