How do you decide how many networks to have?

Modified on Mon, 29 Apr at 9:11 AM

One Casambi Evolution network can have up to 250 devices (depending on the selected network mode, see table below).

When a lighting system design is created in Casambi Pro, user should add estimated number of luminaires for each luminaire group. This information together with number of controllers will give an estimate how many devices there will be in the planned project.

Then, the created project structure, device amount estimation and practical needs can be used to determine how many and what type of networks would be needed in one Casambi Pro project.

NETWORK MODE	SPEED	DESCRIPTION
Better performance	2 Mbit/s	Optimised for larger indoor networks with increased data traffic. Reduced communication range compared to Balanced network mode.
Balanced	1 Mbit/s	Optimised for small to mid-size indoor networks (recommended 125 nodes max.) with moderate data traffic.
Long Range (BETA)	0.5 Mbit/s	Optimised for small to mid-size outdoor networks (recommended 60 nodes max.) with low data traffic. Increased communication range compared to Balanced network mode. Long range compatible devices only.
