When this setting is enabled, the Casambi CBU-DCS gateway acts as a bridge to export internal data from DALI D4i drivers such as energy usage, runtime hours, temperature, and diagnostics into the DALI system. This allows a DALI controller or building management system (BMS) to monitor and log performance data from luminaires that are physically connected to Casambi nodes but contain D4i-compliant drivers.
This is particularly useful in smart building environments where centralized systems need access to device-level analytics for:
- Energy reporting
- Predictive maintenance
- Compliance monitoring
- Asset tracking
The feature enhances the interoperability between Casambi and DALI ecosystems, allowing wireless Casambi-controlled luminaires to still contribute valuable operational data to a DALI-based infrastructure.
