Casambi Ready module that doubles as a DALI gateway

A Casambi Ready module that sits inside the luminaire or enclosure and puts a DALI line onto the Casambi mesh — no separate gateway box, no control cabling back to a panel. It is passive: it draws its own power from the DALI bus rather than needing a supply of its own, so a single IEC 62386 power supply feeds both the drivers and the module. Devices form a network of up to 250 nodes automatically, and each one can also work as a repeater to extend coverage.

  • Works as a DALI gateway — bridges a DALI line onto the Casambi mesh
  • Passive: powered from the DALI bus, no separate supply needed
  • No external gateway box, no control wiring to a panel
  • Self-forming mesh of up to 250 nodes (Evolution networks)
  • Bluetooth 4.0 / 5.0 Low Energy, up to 150 m range
  • Supports Tridonic PSensor and DALI MSensor for daylight and presence
  • Doubles as a repeater to extend wireless coverage
  • Firmware updatable over the air; 5 year Tridonic guarantee

Specifying it as a gateway: the module addresses up to four DALI single or group addresses individually (A0–A3 / G0–G3), depending on the device profile selected in the app. Any further drivers on the same line respond to broadcast. If a project needs more than four independently controlled groups behind one module, split the line or use a second module.
