Lighting Automation

Lighting Automation

The reason lighting automation has become a fundamental need and standard in today's buildings is that it not only provides energy-saving systems but also responds to next-generation comfort requirements.

By adjusting light levels based on the amount of natural light in the room, energy savings are achieved through the principle of maximizing daylight usage. Systems with motion and/or presence detectors help prevent waste of natural resources by turning lights off when not needed. Features such as pre-programmed scenarios for specific usage times and light levels adjustable according to personal preferences and needs are just a few of the energy-efficient and user-centric advantages offered by lighting automation.

Whether residential projects, shopping malls, office buildings, airports, cultural and sports centers, retail stores, or warehouses, all share the need for lighting automation systems that offer the flexibility to meet diverse modern comfort demands. While offering all these advantages, the integration of up-to-date technology and user-centric approaches, such as control via smartphones or touchscreen panels, makes the system even easier to use.

Another major benefit of automation systems is the KNX protocol, which enables all components to communicate in a common language. KNX is an open protocol specifically developed for smart home and building systems. Many manufacturers around the world produce products compatible with the KNX infrastructure. Unlike closed-source automation systems, KNX is a global standard that ensures brand-independence, allowing for better competition and service quality. Lighting, blinds, security, energy management, heating, cooling, ventilation, air conditioning, signaling, monitoring, building control, audio/video control: All of these functions operate under a single unified system. This is called the principle of interworking, which simplifies the control of building automation.

Since 2004, Optimus, in cooperation with ABB, the world's largest manufacturer, has been providing design, implementation, and commissioning of KNX-based lighting automation systems with its expert engineering team.

Effectively utilizing KNX’s brand-independent architecture, Optimus brings together multiple functions, brands, and products in a solution-oriented approach, successfully implementing the right products and integrations in a wide variety of projects, from single apartments to large-scale airports.
