Casambi – Lighting Control for the modern World
Project Nekton is a proud partner of Casambi – we can assist our clients with the installation of Casambi smart lighting technology.
Controls of (smart) lighting often look complex and seem difficult to understand. They are usually tied to a specific manufacturer and protocol, limiting flexibility and choice. The interfaces and user experience of these controls can be substandard, leading to frustration and confusion. In addition, lighting controls often require specialized knowledge and expertise to set up and use them effectively.
With Casambi, you get
Control as part of fixture package, no additional hardware required
Total design freedom, choose from trusted manufacturers
No restrictions on control wiring, master controllers or subnets
Free software that is continuously improved via the cloud
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a low power wireless technology available in all modern smartphones and tablets. BLE was developed at the Nokia Research Center where the founders of Casambi worked.
Such a self-organizing wireless mesh network can control a large number of fixtures from any point. The Casambi devices are smart on their own and connected only when needed. An Internet connection is not required for normal use, it is only necessary to send or retrieve user interface configurations from the cloud service.
The free Casambi app works as a user interface and simultaneously as a lighting control solution, commissioning tool and remote gateway. Casambi’s technology works with existing fixtures or already installed wall switches from any manufacturer, but can also be easily integrated into LED drivers, LED lamps or LED modules.
Casambi works with all leading lighting fixture manufacturers.
Wireless
Wired lighting control poses enormous challenges when a building later changes its use, new lighting designs are required and wires must be pulled out. Wireless lighting control solutions, on the other hand, offer the freedom to effortlessly customize wiring using software.
Casambi’s technology allows lighting designers and manufacturers to wirelessly connect devices together, creating customizable smart lighting networks that are configured and controlled using the Casambi App.
This is especially useful for renovation and construction projects where solutions are sought that completely avoid the need for wiring and reconstruction of surfaces and accommodate flexible lighting strategies.
Casambi app
Casambi allows you to control fixtures directly from your mobile device, using Bluetooth Low Energy, the advanced communication technology built into every modern smartphone, tablet and smartwatch.
Users need only download the Casambi app to their iOS or Android device, and they are ready to control all their lighting fixtures.
Casambi’s app is designed to make it easy for anyone to set up and control lighting. The app uses intuitive gesture controls: tap a fixture to turn it on or off, swipe from left to right to adjust brightness, up and down for color temperature, or hold to change color. With the unique gallery feature, you can even upload your own photos of the room, mark the fixtures’ positions and use them to select and control them.
"In addition to achieving considerable energy savings and improving comfort levels, the project was also executed with excellent compliance. " - Roy Van den Wyngaert
