The lighting industry is going wireless, and the number of ready-to-use products is growing rapidly. To unleash the full potential of smart lighting networks, Fulham provides a set of tools for commissioning and monitoring qualified Bluetooth mesh lighting devices. Using the intuitive web and iOS apps, you can easily customize lighting control parameters in accordance with site-specific needs and building energy codes. Use the iOS app to complete onsite comissioning of connected luminiares, sensors, switches, and other devices. No specialized training or lighting control expertise is needed- the intuitive interface lets you add Bluetooth mesh lighting devices to a wireless network in no time. Provisioning Using proximity sensing, the app creates a list of detected lighting devices. Up to 5 devices can be provisioned simultaneously. Using an RSSI filter, you can narrow down the list of visible luminaires to those that are the nearest. Customization Fine tune your lighting scenarios to suit specific needs. Customize run, prolong, and standby modes, plus other lighting control parameters. Calibration Calibrate an ambient light sensor in accordance with the measurement provided by a handheld light meter. Adjust brightness until it reaches the correct level and enter the value. Testing Test the performance of connected devices as well as defined lighting scenes and make adjustments if needed.

About

XIMtroller 1.5

Features
Read full description

Xicato XIMtroller has the ability to see and control Xicato Xmesh enabled lights. This ranges from our integrated XIM modules to lighting that integrates our XID and XAD drivers as well as controllers for standard off-the-shelf drivers. Immediately on startup, the application listens for messages from the lights, and lists them by name, received signal strength, and current lighting intensity. Users can then control the intensity of individual lights, groups of lights, or all lights using a slide switch, and can query individual lights for configuration information and basic operating data, such as temperature and intensity.
