About

Light360

Features
Read full description

With Light360 you can create professional lighting projects, stand-alone or centralized on the Cloud, composed of wireless Bluetooth LE and Zigbee devices and wireless or DALI lighting fixtures. Manage projects, work teams and user access privileges. Manually control the system by recalling scenes or setting the level, temperature and colour of your favorite light. Configure the system by joining wireless devices to the project and grouping them into zones. Luminaires equipped with DALI drivers can be addressed individually, for example to create extremely detailed scenes. For each zone you can activate automatic working modes for energy saving (via motion and ambient light sensors) or define scenes in which you can specify the light level of each individual luminaire. Create professional management algorithms through highly customizable time schedules and β€œmacros”. Implement HCL (Human Centric Lighting) solutions by precisely defining the color temperature profile throughout the day. Customize the manual control section of the App, creating multiple virtual keypads. For each one you can insert a list of commands dedicated to managing the zones in the simplest and most intuitive way possible.
