CASAMBI- Bluetooth technology for Lighting

What is Casambi?

Casambi is an advanced lighting control solution based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). BLE is the only mainstream and future-proof low power radio technology in the world.
The Casambi solution is the state-of-the-art wireless technology and the only low power wireless technology in all modern smartphones, tablets and even smart watches, making it the only mainstream and future proof low power radio technology in the world.
Bluetooth Low Energy was developed at Nokia Research Center where the founders of Casambi worked. That's why Casambi has had the unique advantage in realizing the potential of Bluetooth Low Energy early on. Casambi started the development of the solution before there were any Bluetooth Low Energy devices on the market.

Wireless Mesh Network
On top of Bluetooth Low Energy, the Casambi technology provides a mesh network where all the intelligence of the system is replicated in every node and, in such a way, creates a system with no single points of failure.
Such self-organizing wireless mesh network can control a large number of fixtures from any point. It also allows for firmware updates over the network, allowing any kind of changes to be made over-the-air. In this kind of fully distributed and symmetric architecture, any unit can go offline and catch up from others when they return back online.



The Casambi devices are smart on their own and only connected when needed. An Internet connection is not necessary for normal operation, it is just needed for user interface configurations to be sent or recalled from the cloud service.
The Casambi app works as one of the user interfaces in a Casambi lighting control solution, as the commissioning tool and as well as a remote gateway. The Casambi app works with iOS as well as Android devices, like smartphones, tablets and smartwatches. The app is free to download by any end user.

The Casambi app is made by user interface experts and in a way, that anyone - regardless of technical proficiency- can use it. The Casambi lighting control technology gives a possibility for Casambi's partners to implement and develop anything needed for a full featured lighting control system, but the Casambi app only shows in the user interface the functionality that is relevant to that particular installation. Therefore, the Casambi app is equally well suitable for the professional lighting market as well as the residential field.
User Interfaces.


        

Description
Features:
Casambi offers a big variety of possibilities for a user to interact with the lighting depending on the user's individual requirements. The app for smartphones, tablets and smartwatches is the most elaborated user interface, Besides the App, traditional wall, switches, pushbuttons, Casambi's own scene controllers and many other control points can be used.  Thanks to casambi bluetooth module and the versatile customizable software, all of Casambi's partners can develop their own user interfaces for casambi's lighting control system. All of the partner products are compatible with each other as well as with all casambi's native  products.




Luminaries

Casambi technology works with any manufacturers range of existing luminaries or already installed wall Switches but can also be easily integrated into LED drivers, LED bulbs or LED Modules, creating an optimal solutions in terms of ease of Installation and functionality with minimal additional hardware and deployment costs.

PRODUCTS:

CBU-ASD Control Unit

CBU-ASD is a wireless control unit for LED and halogen drivers with 0-10V, 1-10V or DALI dimming interface. The control output can be configured either as analog 0-10V (and 1-10V) or digital Standalone DALI control interface.

CBU-ASD
When the output is configured as Standalone DALI 1, CBU-ASD acts both as a controller and as a power supply making it possible to connect directly to an LED driver with DALI interface without the need for an external DALI power supply. This so called Standalone DALI makes it possible to implement multi-channel lighting systems with adjustable color (RGB) or color temperature, while keeping the wiring and number of components at their minimum.
CBU-ASD is controlled wirelessly with Casambi smartphone and tablet applications using Bluetooth 4.0 protocol. Devices form automatically a secure wireless mesh network so that a large number of xtures can be controlled from any point. No external gateway module is needed. CBU-ASD can be controlled also from a standard on/o wall switches.
  • Wirelessly controllable

What Is the Differences between DALi VS. DMX

DMX VS DALI DMX  is a theatrical and entertainment lighting, Mostly used as Stage lighting. It is a streaming protocol, with each stream – called a ‘universe’ – carrying up to 512 ‘channels’ of data. All fixtures receive data for all channels, which is sent by the controller at a specific refresh rate (such as 33 times per second). The protocol does not assign any specific meaning to the channels, so the controller must be aware of what is expected by the fixtures. Each fixture listens for a specific number of channels (such as three for an RGB fixture), starting at a particular channel number (the fixture’s ‘address’). The number of fixtures supported per universe therefore depends on the channel footprint of the fixtures in use. DMX assumes a centralized control system, which receives input from any sensors or control interfaces and sends data to all fixtures. DMX is transmitted over shielded twisted pair cable, with all fixtures connected in series. DMX ov...

What Is DMX?

ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING-  DMX Protocol What is DMX and How does it works? DMX is an acronym for Digital Multiplex, a communication protocol (a set of rules) used to remotely control lighting dimmers and intelligent fixtures. It is designed to provide a common communications standard between these lighting devices regardless of the manufacturer. DMX is a communication protocol that is most commonly used in theatrical lighting. If you want to know the entire history of DMX with more technical detail, please click here. The DMX Control Console will broadcast up to 512 channels over one DMX Cable. Some of these channels may not be used, but will still be transmitted, as required by the protocol. The Decoder in this example is built into the Dimmer. It must be set to a desired channel (channel 001, in this example) to control the connected Light Fixture. This is usually accomplished using a DIP switch or LED/LCD display. This desired ‘channel’ is commonly known as the DMX a...
