LoRaWAN® Lighting Control Unit with Custom Box
ZenoSmart LoRaWAN® Lighting Control Unit is a compact and high-performance control solution developed to facilitate remote management of LED-based outdoor lighting systems. Thanks to its specially designed housing, it can operate with 220V AC or 24-48V DC inputs and can be quickly integrated into street luminaires. The device is compatible with low power wide area networks (LPWAN) such as LoRaWAN®, NB-IoT and LTE-M and provides precise lighting control via 0-10V, DALI, DALI-2, DALI-D4i interfaces.
ZenoSmart Lighting Control Unit is designed to maximize energy savings and operational efficiency in city lighting infrastructures. The device increases energy efficiency and optimizes maintenance processes by continuously monitoring all critical electrical data such as voltage, current, power, power factor and frequency. Citiesand businesses can realize significant cost savings.
Its rugged IP67 rated outer casing offers long life and uninterrupted use even in harsh weather conditions (rain, dust, temperature difference). The ZenoSmart controller can be monitored and managed through both field operations and cloud-based management platforms. With flexible control options, time-based scheduling, ambient light sensors and adaptive lighting scenarios, the system can operate fully autonomously.
Advanced features include impact and tilt detection, Bluetooth configuration, geo-location tracking and optional light sensor integration. Furthermore, the ZenoSmart Lighting Controller is designed to be fully compatible with existing lighting systems and third-party solutions. System integrations are easy, secure and cost-efficient thanks to open communication protocols, an open-source JavaScript payload decoder and the ZenoSmart Connect application.
As a result, all our control units fully support the TALQ standard, offering seamlessintegration with smart city management systems. This integration capability enables standardization and centralized control of smart city applications.
