Planar Control is a new generation and powerful state-of-the-art intelligent BLE control system created by professional lighting consultant with more than 30 years experience and development team for commercial lighting control purposes. Using BLE 4.0 technology, you can have a direct and synchronous (many-to-many) control up to a few billion nodes with zero threat on privacy and security. With this app, you can have the corresponding on/off switch, dimming, tuneable white, RGB, RGBW, curtain, lock, smart locker, and lighting scene control that can be set up in groups with simple DIY one-man installation, operation and real-time synchronisation without any direct support from professionals. It is very cost effective, saving you from unnecessary wirings, modules, processors, conduits and labor costs. Planar Control offers access to multiple locations which can be controlled from a single platform, and with the amplifier, you can have a long-distance control and multiple interactions with sensors and music at the same time. It also comes with remote gateway, timer and role-based authorisation control framework that provides users with different levels of permission access based on their individual roles to control lights. It gives a concrete and complete secure management access control throughout the whole system.
