Wireless Controls - Casambi
Casambi was developed by engineers whose background was in Nokia and Bluetooth development.
Casambi uses Bluetooth radio, but the mesh networking technology is proprietary to Casambi (unlike HubSense which uses the Bluetooth mesh technology). Multiple LED driver, sensor and switch manufacturers offer Casambi compliant components that can be integrated in a single system. The richness and diversity of the Casambi ecosystem is one of its strengths.
Casambi can be implemented as a wireless extension to a DALI system by the addition of one or more CBU-DCS devices. Implemented like this, each Casambi device will be seen by DALI as a single address and can be controlled accordingly. Likewise, data gathered on the Casambi wireless network (energy consumption or occupancy data, for example) can be passed through to the DALI network.
Using BasicDIM wireless modules from Tridonic, Casambi (like HubSense) can support a fully functioning addressable emergency lighting test system.
