by Shane Henson — May 2, 2012—Daintree Networks Inc., a provider of intelligent wireless lighting controls for commercial buildings, has expanded its line of wireless adapters for wireless lighting controls within commercial and industrial buildings.
According to the company, its wireless adapters are low-cost, low-profile devices that add wireless connectivity and distributed control to lighting fixtures, sensors, wall switches and other wired products within buildings. Through a wireless adapter, most fixtures and other off-the-shelf products can easily add the ZigBee communications standard at either the point of manufacture or the customer site, and connect to Daintree’s centralized ControlScope software and other ZigBee-certified wireless products, notes Daintree Networks.
The enhanced WA product line now includes adapters for both low-cost control of individual fixtures and multi-function control of complete circuits. Products that facilities managers may find of interest include:
- WA100—offers complete wireless control (on/off/dim) for circuits of up to 10 fixtures or 15A, as well as individual fixtures, sensors and switches/dimmers, with plenum rating;
- WA100-PM—adds integrated power monitoring;
- WFA100—offers complete wireless control with a reduced form factor and price point for in-fixture installation, up to 5A;
- WFA100-SN—adds local sensor control; and
- WGA100—provides on/off switching and 0-10V control as well as reporting and monitoring of non-lighting devices such as motors, fans and thermostats.
- WA100-PM—adds integrated power monitoring;
