by Shane Henson — July 5, 2013—Autani Corporation announced this month that it has increased the capabilities of its LightCenter lighting management system through adding EnOcean self-powered controls and sensors, including the company’s door/window sensor, key card switch, occupancy sensors, and rocker pad.
According to Autani Corporation, a provider of integrated building control systems, customers who use Autani’s LightCenter system will now have even greater flexibility and convenience when installing their lighting management systems.
A complement to Autani’s wireless products, EnOcean’s sensors and switches provide further wireless capabilities and add the benefit of being self-powered. Subsequently, there are no wires to run or batteries to replace, reducing installation time and the need for on-going maintenance.
Supporting the EnOcean products are Autani’s ARC Switched Room Controller and e>pod lighting control system. The ARC is a wirelessly managed lighting controller. Autani’s e>pod system is a networked, room-based suite of products to power, manage, and control light-emitting diode (LED) lighting fixtures.
By itself, Autani’s e>pod system simplifies installation and reduces the cost of implementing LED lighting solutions by reducing or eliminating line voltage wiring to power and control LED lighting fixtures. When paired with EnOcean products, installation is further simplified by eliminating wiring for local controls, says Autani.
