Lighting Control Technology

The lighting control solution shall be wireless.
The communication from smart devices to the lighting control system shall be based on Bluetooth Low Energy.
The system topology shall be a mesh network where all the nodes can connect to each other directly and non-hierarchically.
The lighting control solution shall not have a single point of failure. All the intelligence shall be replicated in each node. If any device goes offline, the rest of the system shall continue to operate.
The mesh network shall work like a consensus-based synchronization engine. By joining the mesh network every device receives the full "system view" necessary for autonomous operations on the state of other devices, changes of network configuration, maintenance of synchronized time (system clock), control signals from user inputs and sensors, and firmware updates.
The control solution shall be based on networks (Maximum 250 units depending on the network mode) and give the opportunity to create an unlimited number of networks. The solution shall offer the possibility to turn on and off several networks at the same time or scenes that combine luminaires across networks.
The devices shall be connected when needed. An Internet connection shall not be necessary for general operation and day to day functionality, it shall be needed only for user interface configurations to be sent or recalled from the cloud service.
The communication from a smart device to the lighting control solution shall not require any kind of gateway or dongle.
The lighting control system shall be configured and controlled from a single App made by user interface experts and in a way that anyone - regardless of technical proficiency- can use it. It shall be possible to download the App, with all the functionality specified for the project, for both iOS and Android devices, from relevant App stores for free.
The network shall allow for firmware updates over the network, allowing any kind of changes to be made over-the-air without requiring any special devices or software. Firmware upgrades shall be performed in parallel for all devices in a network.
The lighting control solution shall offer flexibility with wireless, wired, and hybrid options, supporting integration with DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) systems to enable control over lighting fixtures using an App or other compatible control interfaces.
Controls design and planning of lighting control systems shall be carried out with the consideration that system performance and capabilities may be subject to change based on final project design, implementation and selection of ecosystem devices.
