Timo and Elena have a long history of creating innovative software solutions both in Nokia as well as in start-ups.The Casambi network is based on the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, which is the most energy efficient and future proof of wireless technologies.The system is intuitive. When connecting for the first time nodes are automatically pairing. The system can be used and modified by anyone, no commissioning experts are needed.We at Casambi believe that the best lighting control system is made from the user's perspective- not from the perspective of what a lighting controls protocol can do. Therefore, we have developed a lighting control system that is easy and delightful to use. We believe in making complicated things easy- not the other way around.Thanks to Casambi's benefits and functionalities, the system fits residential areas equally well as buildings with the need of a professional lighting control system. The devices form automatically a self-healing and self-organizing wireless mesh network so that a large number of fixtures can be controlled from any point. No external gateway modules are needed.The Casambi devices are smart on their own. All the intelligence is replicated in each node leaving no single point of failure. The system itself is self healing and in constant synchronisation.All Casambi products forms automatically a wireless mesh network. The lighting can be controlled with smartphones, tablets or apple watch. Smart control can also be done from old wall switches. Show less
