Renesas has developed a cutting-edge reference design that integrates voice control capabilities into the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) protocol. DALI is a widely adopted lighting control standard in intelligent lighting systems used extensively in commercial and building automation settings. This innovative solution by Renesas not only supports multi-national offline voice controls but also incorporates Time of Flight (ToF) distance detection technology for enhanced user experience and functionality.
The DALI-2 standard, in compliance with IEC 62386 version 2, represents a significant advancement in lighting control protocols. By leveraging DALI-2, users can benefit from improved control over brightness, glare, color rendering, and presence detection in their lighting systems. Moreover, the introduction of multi-vendor interoperability enhances the scalability and flexibility of DALI networks, enabling seamless integration of diverse lighting products and components.
With Renesas' voice-activated DALI reference design, users can experience a new level of convenience and efficiency in managing their lighting systems. The integration of offline voice controls allows users to interact with their lighting infrastructure effortlessly, providing a hands-free and intuitive way to adjust settings and configurations. Additionally, the incorporation of ToF distance detection technology enables precise and responsive control over lighting parameters, enhancing user comfort and energy efficiency.
Overall, Renesas' innovative solution exemplifies the company's commitment to advancing smart lighting technologies and enhancing the user experience in commercial and building automation applications. By combining voice control capabilities with the robust DALI-2 standard, Renesas is paving the way for more intelligent, interconnected, and user-friendly lighting systems in diverse settings.
