The top most commonly used features are daylight harvesting, motion/presence detection and user interfaces such as panels or apps. If you need the more advanced feature, you should look at the HCL concept and time schedules. We have also a great lighting management solution for the most demanding customers.
To design the features below, as a basis, you need a Vertex ApC with DALI luminaires connected. There are some principles of DALI designing you have to know. For some purpose, or in the case of a large project, you might need also a LAN network.
1. Daylight harvesting
A fully automated adaptive lighting system adapts luminaire power to the intensity of daylight and the number of people present in a given space. Changes in natural daylight intensity (cloudiness, dusk) are detected by multisensors which subsequently transfer this information to the system. This allows the luminaires to automatically increase or decrease their power, maintaining a certain lighting intensity level in the room.
What do I need?
To use this feature, you need to have a DALI-2 sensor connected to the ApC. All sensors on the Glamox E2D component list are multisensors.
The instruction on how to program and commission this feature you can find in the Node-Red library - Daylight harvesting.
2. Motion/presence detection
Designing this feature you have to focus on the detection field. It depends on the mounting heigh. Note that the presence detection field is smaller than the motion detection field. All required information you can find in the product sheet (

This article is made to help you understand how programming is used in real life scenarios using Node-Red. These examples talk about the control scenarios, their components, the benifits you will get when using each scenario and a description of functionality. Each of them is linked to a different article in the Knowledge base, where we go into detail on how to set up a functionality.

Single office
Application | single office, kitchen |
|---|---|
Components | control panel (eg. 2 buttons) + sensor |
Benefits |
|
Scenario | The lighting turns on when you press the “ON” button. Luminaries adjust the light intensity depending on the amount of daylight (daylight harvesting). If you have Tunable White (CCT) luminaries, they work according to an HCL schedule. When you leave the room, sensor stops detecting the presence and turns the lighting off after 15 min.  Alternatively, you can turn off the lighting manually using the “OFF” button. |

Open plan office
Application | open plan office, open space |
|---|---|
Benefits |
|
Components | control panel (eg. 2 buttons) + sensor |
Scenario | The lighting turns on when you press the “ON” button. Luminaires adjust the light intensity depending on the amount of daylight (daylight harvesting). If you have Tunable White (CCT) luminaires, they work according to an HCL schedule. When you leave the room, sensor stops detecting the presence in your zone and dims the lighting after 15 min. If you don’t come back in an hour, the lighting turns off.  Alternatively, you can turn off the lighting manually using the “OFF” button. |

Classroom
Application | classroom, meeting room, conference room, board room |
|---|---|
Benefits |
|
Components | control panel (eg. 6 buttons) + sensor |
Scenario | The lighting turns on automatically. Luminaires adjust the light intensity depending on the amount of daylight (daylight harvesting). If you have Tunable White (CCT) luminaires, they work according to an HCL schedule. When you leave the room, sensor stops detecting the presence and turns the lighting off after 5 min.  You can also adjust the light manually using a control panel.  |
