How we built a system that works without a central unit – reliably, flexibly, and at a lower cost.

When it comes to lighting control, most systems have one thing in common: a central unit. It controls, communicates, and coordinates. If it fails, the entire system stops working.
At Spectoda, we chose a different path.

Solution: no single point of failure

From the outset, we have built our ecosystem so that it does not need a central server. Each Spectoda controller is independent, yet all elements communicate with each other in an intelligent mesh network at a frequency of 2.4 GHz.

• Each point in the system is both a transmitter and a receiver.
• When one fails, the rest continue to run.
• The network optimizes itself.

Advantages for implementation

No central unit means:

• lower costs (you only pay for controllers, no expensive gateways or servers)
• less cabling (no pulling cables into switchboards)
• faster installation
• better signal coverage (controllers are located directly next to the lights)

When does it make sense to go wireless?

Typically in projects where there is no space (or desire) to pull new cables:

• historic buildings
• hard-to-reach areas
• projects with limited budgets or time

And where is a hybrid suitable?

Our hybrid model has proven itself in larger installations – offices, halls, schools. SC Industry controllers can control up to 16 DALI drivers via wire, while remaining part of a wireless mesh network.

You get the best of both worlds: DALI standard + wireless flexibility.

The result

• A resilient system with no outages due to a single faulty unit
• Fair costs – no unnecessary elements
• Easier design work and implementation
• Do you have a similar project?

We will design the optimal solution for you – purely wireless, hybrid, or combined.
