Legrand, North America has released its Commercial Equinox User Interface (UI) solution for the Wattstopper architectural dimming platform. The Equinox UI features navigation and a user experience that allows users to control lighting from simple on/off to complex scenes, shades, dynamic white and color control to divide and combine applications.
The Equinox UI software comes installed on Equinox touchscreens or downloadable as an app on mobile devices (iOS and Android). When integrated into the Wattstopper architectural dimming platform, this solution manages a complete lighting system. Features improve upon the current usability, adaptability, and programming challenges that plague current lighting system interfaces:
- Simple: Provides access to perform simple to complex tasks with intuitive buttons. Turn lights on/off with the Room Button. Manage partitioned spaces for both lighting and shades using Divide and Combine feature without custom programming. Add and set room functions from shades to color control with the Widget Bar or Favorites Bar.
- Flexible: Presents options for designing a lighting scene or personalized control scenario that adapts to changing needs. The solution can also scale from room to building.
- Reliable: Offers 24/7 control with always-on screens powered with a network connection (Cat5e with PoE). View the status of lighting and shading functions and make updates in real time with live feedback and control features.
- Consistent: Provides graphical user interface across touchscreens and mobile apps.
- Powerful and Robust: Enables technicians to add custom programming, one-button scenes, conditional logic and other software elements to create the ideal architectural dimming experience with Design Center (3.8.0) commissioning software.
Human Centric Lighting
Using the Commercial Equinox User Interface on touchscreens and the app allows users to control lighting, including dynamic white and color temperature applications using circadian schedules.
The Wattstopper architectural dimming platform is designed to meet dimming and energy conservation objectives, provide enhanced end-user experiences, and simplify design for future space requirements. The platform features a range of lighting control panels, intuitive user interfaces, and the capability to integrate with the Digital Lighting Management system for an energy-efficient, building-wide lighting control solution.
