Lighting Management Application

About

One of the first devices homeowners invest in when equipping their smart homes is connected lighting. There are several options on the market that provide automatic lighting control — from Wi-Fi-based light bulbs that you can buy on Amazon to smart switches and dimmers that take place of old switches on the walls.

Challenge

One of the first devices homeowners invest in when equipping their smart homes is connected lighting. There are several options on the market that provide automatic lighting control — from Wi-Fi-based light bulbs that you can buy on Amazon to smart switches and dimmers that take place of old switches on the walls.
But smart lighting systems with centralized lighting control can do a better job. They outperform their competitors in speed and efficiency. Such systems allow homeowners to remotely control both individual lights and groups of lights in large rooms using just one device — a mobile phone.

Solution

For a smart home solutions provider, Softarex has developed a Lighting Management Application for software and hardware solution that enables our Client's customers — owners of smart homes — to control their lighting from their mobile phones: turn it on and off, change the brightness, and more.
Our app initializes a set of multiple DALI ballasts, devices used to control the voltage, current, and waveform of electric discharge lamps, and provides a GUI (graphical user interface) that allows EnOcean wireless switches to be set to specific actions (turning on/off) for individual ballasts so that users can adjust the lighting with a single click of a button. Colorful icons and other visual indicators in the GUI make the management of lighting devices even more convenient for homeowners.

Project Results

The use of our Lighting Management Application brings the following benefits to homeowners and businesses:

  • Fully automated smart home lighting management;
  • Easy and convenient control of up to 64 DALI ballasts, which is more than enough to manage a big apartment or even an entire office;
  • Up to 40% energy savings;
  • Costs savings in installation, maintenance, and renovation.

Technical challenges

  • Development of a powerful lighting management application that can control a set of up to 64 DALI ballasts;
  • Creation of a library for CoDeSys PLC to communicate with DALI and EnOcean devices via gateways;
  • Design of user interface on CoDeSys PLC to manage a set of up to 64 ballasts;
  • Implementation of EnOcean technology to control ballasts wirelessly;
  • Initialization of all ballasts’ addresses within no more than 5 minutes.

System Architect and Delivery Manager

My main responsibility as a Delivery Manager is to make sure that a product is delivered on time and within budget. To achieve that, I seek to create an encouraging environment for the team, where everyone can improve their skills, feel appreciated and, thus, produce greater value.

The use of Agile tools and techniques helps me organize the teamwork more effectively and transparently. Throughout my career, I have also been actively architecting, designing, and implementing software solutions — mostly web and desktop applications — for the Healthcare, Manufacturing & Energy industries that help companies and organizations ‌streamline day-to-day business operations.
