Together, Autani and Keilton form one light management system: Bluetooth Mesh across the floor, gateways to hold it together and the EnergyCenter software at the centre. From a single room to several sites.
Keilton supplies the Bluetooth layer: sensors, luminaire controllers, switches and time modules that join into zones over a radio network. Autani supplies the layer above: gateways, the manager and the EnergyCenter software for monitoring, analysis and building services.
In the documentation the combination appears as Keilton+autani. In practice that means you can start small and extend later without replacing what is already installed.
Because the components communicate by radio, there is no control cabling between the luminaires. That is exactly what makes the technology attractive in existing buildings, where running an additional cable would take considerable effort.
When retrofitting to LED it is therefore worth thinking about the control system at the same time, not just the luminaires. That second step is never cheaper than at this moment.
A person walks down the racking aisle, then a forklift drives past. Sensors switch on only the nearby luminaires.
Dashed: the detection area of one sensor. The luminaire switches on as soon as someone is inside it and stays on briefly afterwards (run-on time). An illustration, not a measurement. The actual saving depends on usage, run-on time and base light.
A sensor detects occupancy and daylight, and a controller inside the luminaire acts on it. Every luminaire becomes individually adjustable – the finest level of control, known as LLLC.
See the sensorsThe devices in an area form a radio network in which every node passes signals on. A zone holds around 100 nodes. It is set up in the app: create groups, store scenes, set hold-on times.
See the controllersA gateway connects the zone to the Autani platform. A real-time clock keeps every device in step so that schedules run identically everywhere – outdoors also astronomically, by sunrise and sunset. A dongle additionally records consumption.
See the gatewaysThe Autani Manager brings lighting, sensor data, metering and further building services together. It is operated through a web interface, graphically on the floor plan. System events are kept for more than a year and can be analysed.
See the Autani ManagerPIR sensors respond to moving heat, microwave sensors to movement in the room, dual-tech sensors combine both with ultrasound. For great heights a dedicated algorithm makes sure detection still works reliably from twenty metres without false triggers.
The light sensor measures how bright it actually is at that spot and dims the artificial light accordingly. In halls with roof lights and in offices near windows, this is the quietest and most effective saving across the day.
Shift start, shutdown, weekend: a real-time clock in the zone makes sure every device knows the same time – even after a power cut, thanks to an internal battery.
The energy dongle records a log every 15 minutes. That becomes usage reports showing where how much is consumed – the basis for adjusting rather than guessing.
Rack aisle, hall bay, office wing, outdoor area: every group gets its own rule. Changes are made in the app or at the central controller, not in the switch cabinet.
A battery-powered wall switch with scene buttons can be mounted wherever it is needed – later on and without any cabling.
The EnergyCenter software runs on the Autani Manager and processes data from sensors, local controls and meters in real time. From sensor events, schedules and triggers it manages the lighting and, depending on the build-out, further building services such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
The manager connects over Ethernet to the local network or a mobile router. Several protocols are supported: Bluetooth, Zigbee under the name autaniNet, EnOcean and BACnet/IP. This lets the lighting control become part of a wider building automation system.
The smallest sensible stage is a single zone with sensors and controllers, set up through the app. That is enough for one area, one hall or one floor – and it works without a central controller.
As the task grows, gateway and manager are added. The sensors and controllers already installed stay where they are. This scalability is the real advantage over a rigid single-room solution.
Light management means the lighting does not burn at full output all the time but responds automatically to how a space is actually used. Sensors detect occupancy and daylight, and a control system then switches and dims individual luminaires or whole areas.
LLLC stands for Luminaire Level Lighting Control. Every luminaire has its own sensor and controller and is regulated individually, instead of a whole group being switched together.
Bluetooth Mesh is a radio network in which every device relays the signals of the others. The network therefore reaches further than a single radio link, and no additional control cable is needed between the luminaires.
Yes. Because the components communicate by radio, the control system needs no additional cabling. That makes retrofitting existing buildings considerably easier than with wired systems. Battery-powered sensors and switches need no cable at all.
That depends on use: the more irregularly an area is used, the greater the effect. The potential is highest in rack aisles, ancillary rooms and car parks, and lowest in production areas that are staffed continuously. A reliable figure only emerges from the operating hours of your own installation.
That depends on the luminaire. It needs a dimmable driver with a suitable interface, for example 0–10 V or DALI. Our series are designed sensor-ready. For third-party luminaires we check case by case.
Choosing the components and dividing the site into zones is part of the lighting design. TRiALED supports selection, planning and commissioning; the exact scope is agreed for your project.
