OSRAM and Casambi, the Finnish wireless lighting control company, partnered to deliver the interoperability between the Casambi CBU-DCS module and OSRAM DEXAL (Data Exchange for Advanced Lighting) driver. The cooperation between them further emphasizes the ability of lighting professionals to implement a wide range of sophisticated lighting solutions in smart buildings.

The Casambi module is listed as an official “Works with OSRAM DEXAL” component. This interoperability means that OSRAM’s DEXAL LED drivers can be connected seamlessly via a single interface, utilizing Casambi’s lighting management system along with “Casambi Ready” luminaires, components and control devices (including sensors and switches). Casambi’s compatibility with DEXAL interface technology will enable simpler lighting installations across a broad range of applications.

Once connected to Casambi’s wireless control platform, OSRAM’s DEXAL LED drivers enable bi-directional communication based on the DALI protocol. Data, including power consumption, operating time and temperature profiles, can also be extracted from each luminaire, to enable end users to benefit from connectivity.

In response to customer needs for which compatibility with DALI is a necessity, Casambi has recently introduced the CBU-DCS module – a Bluetooth-operated DALI controller which effectively serves as a DALI-to-Casambi gateway. Casambi’s modules and integrated software operate easily and reliably with OSRAM DEXAL solutions including OSRAM and other daylight sensors and presence detectors along with other connected luminaires in a lighting control solution without the need to add other connectivity infrastructure.
