by Ann Withanee — September 22, 2010—Daintree Networks, Inc., a leading provider of wireless control solutions for energy-smart buildings, announces the commercial availability of ControlScope, a wireless lighting control platform designed to enable lighting manufacturers and solution providers to bring more cost-effective, easy-to-implement lighting systems to market.
The company also announces that it has partnered with Easylite, a leader in lighting control solutions, to provide wireless control systems to its customers. Easylite has partnered with Daintree to provide a complete wireless lighting control system based on the ControlScope platform for its commercial retrofit customers.
This Daintree-based solution enables advanced lighting control capabilities such as daylighting and task tuning for Easylite’s customers, while reducing the cost and complexity of wired control solutions. The first installation has already been completed at a warehouse in Colorado. Part of a complete lighting retrofit aimed at large-scale energy reduction at the customer site, ControlScope alone is expected to reduce lighting consumption by nearly 50 percent from pre-retrofit levels.
Daintree’s new ControlScope platform is a software-based solution that provides the core wireless network communication and controls intelligence for large-scale, standards-based wireless lighting control.
Through ControlScope, all components of a lighting system, including fixtures, sensors, ballasts, LED drivers and wall switches, can communicate wirelessly with each other, reducing system cost and complexity while increasing control capabilities.
The ControlScope Manager, Daintree’s Web-based application, allows facility managers to remotely set control strategies that are applied wirelessly to individual zones, or across the building or enterprise.
