Typical application examples

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

Application

single office, kitchen

Components

control panel (eg. 2 buttons) + sensor

Benefits

reducing energy consumption by using daylight
automatic switching off after leaving the room

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

Application

open plan office, open space

Benefits

reducing energy consumption by using daylight
automatic dimming in your zone after leaving the room
automatic switching off after a long absence

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

Application

classroom, meeting room, conference room, board room

Benefits

reducing energy consumption by using daylight
automatic switching off after leaving the room

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.
