Main functions

Casambi offers all the control options you would expect from a contemporary lighting control system. Delivering more than on/off lighting control, via the Casambi App end users can change the color temperatures (turnable white) or the color of RGB light blubs and fixtures, set and store lighting scenes and remotely control lights from anywhere on a smart device. Featuring sunrise/sunset, calendar and timer, luminaire grouping, scene control, animations/sequences, and logic functions, the solution is scalable from a single room solution to an entire building complex.
colour control
Colour control

Casambi offers a comprehensive color control for Casambi Ready luminaires. Users can easily change the color via the app and save favorite colors in a color palette.

sunrise
Sunrise

Casambi devices can calculate local sunrise and sunset times, taking into account the time zone and network location.

COLOUR CHANGE
Grouping

Luminaires can be grouped very easily in the Casambi app. After grouping, all lights in the group can be controlled together or the group can be opened for individual control.

calendar
Calendar and timer

Scenes and animations can be turned on and off based on a set time, date, or specific days of the week to suit users' needs, seasons, and various activities.

scenes
Scenes

Different lighting schemes can be created for different occasions. Multiple lights can be controlled at the touch of a finger to create the perfect ambience every time.

animations
Animations

Create dynamic scenes where lighting transitions from one scene to the next. Set scenes to run through different lighting situations only once or repeatedly. Easily adjust the duration and fade times between scenes.


Main benefits

Secure and self-contained
Energy saving
Additional control via NFC
Simple installation

Secure 
Casambi integration delivers a seamless, reliable, and secure wireless connection thanks to the utilization of a mesh network where components network with each other several times and function directly as repeaters. No need to worry about WiFi internet connections failing, new wiring, or hacking risks.

Self-contained
The Casambi devices are self-contained. An Internet connection is not required for "normal" operation, but only if necessary for cloud services or updates.

CasambiBT
The solution presents energy saving benefits through the application of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) that consumes very little energy. Casambi BT smart switches also features ‘Battery-free by EnOcean’ that powers the switch via kinetic energy, and can be operated without batteries or rechargeable batteries. Battery free by EnOcean

 

energy saving
For the more advanced smart home or commercial application, the opportunity to increase control is provided via Near Field Communication (NFC).

The Casambi App can activate additional features in ABB smart switches providing users with access to the entire Casambi ecosystem.  All these devices can communicate in a Bluetooth mesh network.

Many luminaires producers already integrated the Casambi chip-set to be „Casambi ready“ creating a future proof solution.

Installation is simple and does not require additional wiring or cabling and can be quickly and easily integrated into the existing electrical installation or mounted as a separate control point, making it ideal for retrofits.

After installation, the switch is added to a created network via the Casambi app. NFC (near field communication) helps with this. The Casambi Smart Switch only needs to be held up to the smart phone to be identified. Once added to a network, the Bluetooth Smart Switch can be assigned for up to four functions.

Casambi is commissioned via an App.  The App can be used to configure any of the functions provided by Casambi's partners - from simple to complex controls - and is suitable for both private and professional use. Components can be recorded quickly and easily in the App.
