Organizations to Develop a Gateway Specification and Certification Program for Lighting-Control Networks that Utilize DALI and Zigbee-Based Products

April 22, 2020 05:05 AM Eastern Daylight Time
DAVIS, Calif. & PISCATAWAY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Zigbee Alliance, an organization of hundreds of companies creating, maintaining, and delivering open, global standards for the Internet of Things (IoT), and the Digital Illumination Interface Alliance (DiiA), the global industry organization for DALI lighting control, today announced they are working together to bring further standardization and system interoperability to the IoT luminaires space. This development will help stakeholders realize the benefits of combining wired DALI lighting-control systems with wireless Zigbee networks as the IoT progresses.

The two organizations are collaborating on the development of a gateway specification to support a forthcoming certification program. This blending of reliable, cost-effective, low-power Zigbee technologies with DALI’s proven digital lighting control gives users a best-in-class combination for intelligent illumination systems.
