The Internet of Things
With the Internet of Things, smart objects can more
than ever interact with one another. With the use of
modern day sensors, luminaires can sense changes,
collect data and then respond to it. All this data
can then be shared with other smart elements and
systems. This is what we call connected lighting,
which utilizes the large potential of the Internet of
Things.
Xitanium SR drivers and EasyAir sensor add
functionality – and therefore value – to your
connected luminaires. Communication between
driver and sensor is via a standard interface based on
DALI 2.0 EasyAir sensors use wireless communication,
reducing cabling and installation cost and are
therefore ideal for renovation projects as well as new
installations.
Connected lighting in indoor applications
In indoor connected lighting systems, sensors
distributed throughout a building gather information
about usage of specific spaces. Every luminaire
becomes a node that senses, collects and passes on
information about energy consumption, daylight
harvesting and occupancy. This information is used
to manage heating, ventilation, IT and cleaning
resources in the most cost effective way. Facility
managers can streamline operations, achieve
sustainability
goals,
and
optimize
workspace
utilization. Historic records simplify making decisions
about long-term resource management. Connected
lighting makes effective use of space in activity based
workspaces too.
Lighting, when and where it’s needed
Sensors ensure lighting is only on when and where it
is needed. The EasyAir sensors bring huge benefits in
terms of energy management as they enable sunlight
harvesting, automatic dimming, and sensing the
presence of people. The lighting is only on when
actually required so cost savings are considerable.
EasyAir sensors are ideal for all office areas including
work spaces, conference rooms, corridors, break-out
rooms, administrative areas, stairwells and similar
applications in schools and hospitals.
Wireless configuration
Configuration can be done before installation using
SimpleSet and on site via Philips Field Apps. This gives
us and your clients more freedom during the whole
installation process. Communication is via a Zigbee
protocol, and EasyAir is prepared to accommodate
thread as it emerges. Advanced Zigbee technology
makes it possible to have multiple sensors working
as a single group. You can also create different scenes
for specific applications, such as a presentation
mode in a meeting room.
EasyAir group sensor
The
EasyAir
advanced
grouping
SNS210
is
a breakthrough in sensor applications thanks to its
unique capability for grouping sensors with Zigbee. It
enables sensors to work together and communicate
without wires between luminaires. Having just one
sensor for daylight and occupancy sensing makes
control per luminaire more practical as well as
further reducing clutter in the ceiling. Configuration
and commissioning is done with the Philips Field
Apps. The sensor portfolio will be further extended
to include other applications to offer even more
‘personal control’ solutions using a smartphone. The
possibilities are endless.
