Smart lighting has experienced notable success in home and building automation thanks to a wide selection of application-specific wireless protocols. During this webinar, we’ll discuss the wireless technologies that best serve smart lighting, homes, and buildings and consider the benefits of enabling simultaneous operation of Zigbee and Bluetooth low energy (LE) on a single device. We’ll also review key considerations related to multiprotocol implementation and outline advanced functionality that can be achieved such as beaconing and smartphone direct control of smart lamps and connected luminaires.

5. Connected Lighting
6
 Anatomy of connected lights
 Required hardware (optics, housing, LEDs, wires)
 Sensors (temperature, light)
 Wireless Radio Module
 Wireless Protocols (Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi)
 Control interface
 Via mobile apps
 Via hub and cloud

6. Future of Connected Lighting
7
 One Connectivity Platform
 Reduces complexity and BOM
 Offers single and combinations of radio protocols
 Provide sensor and control interfaces (DALI, 0-10V)
 Radio Modules will be integrated in
 LED Drivers
 LED Modules and Light Engines
 LED Tubes

7. Sustainable Cities
 Sensor rich units providing lots of data to the network
 Audio/Video
 Radar/Proximity
 Air quality
 Citywide data collection and distribution
 Parking locations
 Redirect traffic and warn about congestion
 Challenges
 Cities can choose if they allow e.g. smart street lights
 Vendors often pay for the infrastructure

8. Increasing Bluetooth Beacon Density in Commercial and Retail
9
 Beacons integrated into connected lighting or building
automation devices scale with infrastructure
 Coverage density can be greatly improved with a lower
overall cost with multifunction devices
 Lifecycle management of devices can be unified
 Dedicated beacon deployments require additional
infrastructure to manage
 Coverage density can be limited by additional cost of
dedicated devices
 Unique lifecycle management approaches per device type
