Standalone DALI Solutions: Smarter Lighting for Every Space and Budget
Lighting control can be simple, scalable, and cost-effective—without compromising on functionality. Whether you’re retrofitting a single meeting room or designing an entire building’s lighting system, zencontrol’s standalone DALI solutions provide a flexible approach to intelligent lighting control. These solutions offer powerful features while keeping installation and commissioning streamlined, making them the perfect choice for budget-conscious projects without sacrificing quality.
Standalone, Yet Fully Capable
One of the standout examples of zencontrol’s innovation is the zc-pir-iot-da-2sw-r, a compact yet powerful standalone DALI device that delivers advanced lighting control in a small footprint. With integrated occupancy/light sensors, inputs, and switching capabilities, this device enables a meeting room—or any small space—to achieve smart automation with minimal wiring and no need for a central control system.
How It Works in a Meeting Room
Consider a typical meeting room setup. Using the zencontrol zc-pir-iot-da-2sw-r, you can implement:
-
Occupancy-based lighting control – The built-in PIR sensor detects movement and automatically adjusts the lighting based on presence or absence.
-
Switched load control – The integrated relay can switch non-DALI loads such as legacy lighting fixtures, fans, or even signage.
-
DALI control for connected luminaires – The DALI outputs allow dimmable and tuneable lighting control, providing energy efficiency and user comfort.
-
Wall switch inputs – The two independent switch inputs allow users to override or manually control the system, integrating standard momentary or latching switches.
-
Intelligent scene setting – Configure pre-defined lighting scenes to create the ideal environment for presentations, discussions, or video calls with a simple button press.
This entire setup is self-contained, requiring no complex programming or expensive external controllers, making it perfect for situations where the scope of control is minimal.
Expanding the Possibilities
Standalone DALI solutions aren’t just for single-room applications. With zencontrol’s flexible product range, these solutions can extend across an entire building, scaling up while maintaining the same easy-to-install ethos.
