Casambi Pro Device Support

TABLE OF CONTENTS


Overview

The Casambi Pro supports basic functionality of any Casambi Ready device and enables controlling networks, groups and scenes with switches, sensors and schedules. 


However, as the Casambi Ecosystem provides a huge variation of devices which can be configured in numerous different ways, it is essential to note that if the fixture profile used in a device is set up to do something else than the basic luminaire control, the device may not work in Casambi Pro. Therefore, when planning a project with Pro, we recommend testing the device and its profile for compatibility with Casambi Pro. 


Casambi and Casambi Ecosystem products may have one or multiple functions. One function devices are mainly supported. Further compatibility / support details are clarified below.


Luminaires & Casambi ready drivers

Casambi Pro supports any Casambi ready luminaires and drivers. You cannot configure individual luminaires in Pro but you can configure groups of luminaires/drivers through scenes. 


Casambi Pro supports any Casambi ready luminaires and drivers. With Pro, you cannot configure individual luminaires but you can configure groups of luminaires/drivers through scenes. The available scene values you can configure in Pro are:

  • Dimming level in percentages (%)
    • In case the luminaire has multiple dimming channels, all channels will use the same value.
  • Color temperature (Tunable White) in Kelvins (K)
    • In case the luminaire has multiple colour temperature channels, all channels will use the same value.
  • Color (Hue and saturation)
  • Color to white ratio
  • Up/Down ratio

 

In case the device has other parameters than the ones mentioned above, those cannot be configured in Pro. 

 

DALI Broadcast devices are identified as luminaires and work in Pro as any other luminaire. DALI drivers with separate channel controlling are not supported in Pro.


Sensors

Casambi Pro supports any device that identifies itself as a sensor (Casambi Ready or EnOcean devices). Both presence sensing as well as daylight control (constant light) are supported.


Pro supports the following parameters for presence sensing:

  • Mode: Presence, Presence/Absence, Absence
  • Linger time
  • Fade time
  • Absence timeout
  • Manual control removal

Pro supports the following parameters for daylight control by running a scene :

  • Mode:  Constant light (similar to ”Closed Loop” in the Casambi App)
  • One controlling sensor
  • Minimum dimming level
  • Maximum dimming level (scene default or luminaire group specific)
  • Target lux level

Switches

Casambi Pro supports any Casambi Ready device that identifies itself as a switch (battery switches, mains powered switches and EnOcean switches) with up to 8 buttons. 


Pro supports the following behaviour options for switch buttons:

  • Toggle group on/off
  • Toggle scene on/off
    • If this option is selected, the long press for dimming behaviour can be set on/off
  • Toggle network on/off
  • Resume automation (group)
  • Resume automation (network)

Relays

Casambi Pro supports relays where on/off value can be set with dimming value:

  • Luminaires go off when dimming value is set to 0%
  • Luminaires go on when dimming value is set to 1-100%.

 

Multi-functional devices

Casambi Pro has a limited support for multi-functional devices. Currently, Pro supports multi-functional devices with a combination of luminaire + sensor or luminaire + switch. If a multi-functional device has other functionality combinations besides these two, it is most likely not work with Pro. If you try to pair such a device to Pro, the pairing can fail.


After pairing, the luminaire + sensor or luminaire + switch devices will be shown in the layout as two different devices. On the layout, they are linked together, but they can still be configured separately.

 

Casambi Cloud Gateway

The Casambi cloud Gateway is supported in Casambi Pro. 

Other gateways like using an iPhone or iPad device as a gateway, or other vendors’ gateways are not supported.

 

Casambi DALI Controller (the Salvador product family)

Casambi Pro does support all Casambi Salvador products and they support DALI DT6 and DT8 drivers .

 

 

DALI Gateway

Dali gateway is not yet supported in Casambi Pro, neither is DALI emergency functionality.
