Connectivity

Level 1 - Standalone

  • Each luminaire has a wireless node and PIR or Microwave sensor

  • Unlimited overlapping presence groups

  • Independent Daylight Groups

  • Optional wireless scene controller

  • Commissioned with a Tablet App but no need to have tablet or any other central controller on site for day-to-day operation

Level 2 - Online Monitoring

Add one or more Wireless Radio ACCESS POINTs with 4G internet connections to enable Online functions:

  • Emergency Lighting alerts and reports

  • Energy monitoring and heat-mapping of occupancy

  • 7-day schedule of Timed Events + Circadian Rhythms

  • Change timeouts and light levels remotely

Level 3 Console Control

Add a Wireless Radio Coordinator and a LAN to one or more ACCESS POINTs. Pcs, Laptops, Tablets and Smart Phones which are on the same LAN now have full control of the whole site. Connection to the internet is now optional:

  • Monitor and control every device on the site from one screen

  • Control luminaires, sensors and recall scenes from mobile or central console

Integration

Level 1 - Dry Contacts

  • A 3rd party device such as a timeswitch, BMS or manual switch is connected to a Wireless Radio BMS Interface

  • The Wireless Radio BMS Interface sends commands to luminaires to override sensors and/or set scenes and light levels

  • Wireless Radio devices with relays can trigger actions in non-lighting devices (e.g. HVAC, blinds, fans) or BMS inputs

Level 2 - Online

  • Wireless Radio information can be combined with 3rd party data and incorporated into other cloud-based systems.

  • A bespoke API can be built to transfer data from Wireless Radio’s servers to a 3rd party server.

Level 3 - On-Site BMS

  • If the 3rd party system needs to control lighting in real time then it is connected directly to a Wireless Radio Coordinator. The Coordinator relays messages to the luminaires via LAN connected ACCESS POINTs.

  • The interface between BMS and Coordinator can be ODBC, XML, JSON or BACnet.

  • The LAN does not need to have internet connection which provides a secure onsite system.
