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 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.

Connected lighting makes effective use of space in
activity based workspaces too.
Lighting, 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.
