From large-scale connected lighting in commercial areas to smaller public spaces, our wireless lighting control platform offers fast, convenient and elegant integration with existing or new lighting fixtures and IoT infrastructure. This technology also allows flexibility for our partners to add their own creative customisation,\u201d explains Casambi\u2019s CEO Timo Pakkala.<\/p>\n<p>Available on both Apple and Android platforms, the new release supports daylight management via standalone sensors or sensors integrated into luminaires to allow dimming of artificial lighting when enough daylight is available, to improve light quality and deliver energy savings.<\/p>\n<p>Enabling Bluetooth mesh network-based lighting control without needing a wired gateway or Wi-Fi network connection, the Casambi platform already offers support for presence sensors to automatically control smart luminaires and light bulbs individually or in groups when a space is occupied.<br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7565662001938327\" data-ad-slot=\"7585079586\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/casambi-unveils-new-bluetooth-wireless-module-enabling-smart-lighting-control-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Casambi<\/a><\/span>\u2019s app can also be used seamlessly for larger building complexes. By selecting and enabling \u2018Site\u2019, users control lighting across many networks and can adjust scenes, timers, user accounts and user privileges.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the scenes in \u2018Site\u2019 can include luminaires from any of the networks that have been added to it.<\/p>\n<span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wireless-control-of-energy-saving-daylight-sensors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Casambi<\/a><\/span> also offers the possibility for partners to develop their own rotary switches based on the CBM-001 and CBM-002 Bluetooth modules. Besides the basic functionality of a rotary switch that can be pushed to turn luminaires on, or rotated for dimming and adjusting colour temperature, the switch can also be used to cycle through scenes or modes.<\/p>\n<p>Casambi has also added several fixture modes to enable warm dimming.<\/p>\n<p>Suitable for Casambi\u2019s CBU-ASD, CBU-PWM4, CBM-001 and CBM-002 modules, the \u2018WarmCool\u2019 modes implement \u2018warm dimming\u2019 with a single dimmer and two outputs (warm\/cool) that are mixed according to calibration graphs in order to gradually decrease the colour temperature as the dimming level is reduced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Casambi announces the introduction of a new release of their lighting control app for smartphones, smart watches and tablets.
