Opticom Technology vs AUTEConnect

Light that communicates with light: that’s the basic principle of a brand new patented technology brought to you by Beghelli. Opticom Technology (OPTIcal COMmunication Technology) is an optical communication system that allows you to send and receive information from a luminaire or an emergency device simply by using the camera flash of your smartphone. Every Opticom device is equipped with a light sensor designed to receive light impulses fired by a flashing device and to translate them into operational commands. This bidirectional, optical communication technology allows you to adjust both the performances and the settings of an Opticom-ready device. You can easily generate a recurring plant report (logbook), as required by the current law, simply by sending a couple of flashes to the plant lamps. Each lamp will answer back using its own LEDs, sending information about its status and possible anomalies. All the lamp details will be safely stored into the official Beghelli Cloud platform, freely available to every technician and plant owner. With just a couple of commands it is possible to set a wide range of settings of an emergency device, such as autonomy, flow, operational mode (SE-SA-PS), functional and autonomy test durations, naming, position of the lamp inside a plant and so on. On the other hand, when interacting with a lighting device you can easily turn on or off features like the light sensor, the autodimming mode or the dynamic presence detector. Or you can set the brightness value of a light source with just a few clicks.

AUTEConnect replaces the previous MY LIFT AUTEC app, retaining all its features while introducing important new functions. As with the preceding version, the app allows the installer to modify configuration parameters of the Autec LIFT series of radio remote controls, enabling installers to adjust settings directly during installation. No PC or complex tools are required: all that’s needed is a smartphone with the AUTEConnect app. Connection is established directly via Bluetooth to the unit being configured. Additional features Guided configuration procedures support installers through the various setup phases, making operations simpler and more intuitive. Radio remote control documentation can be directly obtained within the app, ensuring technical information is always readily available. Designed for installers, AUTEConnect is a free tool for commissioning the Autec LIFT series of radio remote controls. App availability may vary depending on the phone model and operating system version.
