Casambi Pro for Windows build 29.0.1

Casambi Pro for iOS 1.0.0 build 723

What is Casambi Pro?

Casambi Pro is a free planning and commissioning tool designed to simplify the process of configuring lighting controls. It’s been designed for professionals who are familiar with the lengthy technical configuration processes that can apply to large lighting projects.  It speeds up project configuration by allowing most of the programming to be done offsite. Settings are then uploaded via Bluetooth to the Casambi enabled physical devices onsite.

Casambi Pro offers a new way of creating Casambi-enabled lighting systems and is mostly targeted at large, automated lighting systems for which it is now possible to create configurations offline with a PC application. Networks and control structures are configured offline with the PC tool (Windows 10 or newer). Commissioning is completed on Apple iPad.
