Organizations to Develop a Gateway Specification and Certification Program for Lighting-Control Networks that Utilize DALI and Zigbee-Based Products<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAVIS, California and PISCATAWAY, New Jersey \u2013<\/strong> April 22, 2020 \u2013<\/strong> The Zigbee Alliance<\/a>, an organization of hundreds of companies creating,\nmaintaining, and delivering open, global standards for the Internet of Things\n(IoT), and the Digital Illumination Interface\nAlliance<\/a> (DiiA), the\nglobal industry organization for DALI<\/a> lighting control, today announced they are working\ntogether to bring further standardization and system interoperability to the\nIoT luminaires space. This development will help stakeholders realize the\nbenefits of combining wired DALI lighting-control systems with wireless Zigbee\nnetworks as the IoT progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two organizations are collaborating on the\ndevelopment of a gateway specification to support a forthcoming certification\nprogram. This blending of reliable, cost-effective, low-power Zigbee\ntechnologies with DALI\u2019s proven digital lighting control gives users a\nbest-in-class combination for intelligent illumination systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur\nliaison agreement with the Zigbee Alliance is part of DiiA\u2019s commitment to\naddress different options for combining wireless communication links with DALI\nlighting control,\u201d said Paul Drosihn, DiiA General Manager. \u201cDeveloping\nspecifications and testing requirements for gateways between Zigbee ecosystems\nand wired DALI networks will ensure interoperability that\u2019s backed by\ncertification.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe\nintersection of wired and wireless is where industry can work better together during\nthis IoT transition to benefit those invested in both technology camps as well\nas consumers as they embrace connected devices,\u201d said Tobin Richardson,\nPresident and CEO, Zigbee Alliance. \u201cPairing DiiA\u2019s wired control solutions\nwith Zigbee wireless standards brings more choice to markets that rely on these\ntechnologies for various use cases and as a springboard for future innovation.\u201d\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zigbee Alliance is the foundation and future of the Internet of Things. Established in 2002, our wide-ranging global membership collaborates to create and evolve universal open standards for the products transforming the way we live, work, and play. With our members\u2019 deep and diverse expertise, robust certification programs, and a full suite of open IoT solutions \u2013 including the recently announced Project Connected Home over IP<\/a> \u2013 we are leading the movement toward a more intuitive, imaginative, and useful world. The Zigbee Alliance board of directors is comprised of executives from Amazon<\/a>, Apple<\/a>, Comcast<\/a>, Google<\/a>, IKEA<\/a>, The Kroger Co.<\/a>, LEEDARSON<\/a>, Legrand<\/a>, Lutron Electronics<\/a>, NXP Semiconductors<\/a>, Resideo<\/a>, Schneider Electric<\/a>, Signify<\/a> (formerly Philips Lighting), Silicon Labs<\/a>, SmartThings<\/a>, Somfy<\/a>, STMicroelectronics<\/a>, Texas Instruments<\/a>, and Wulian<\/a>. www.zigbeealliance.org<\/a>  www.connectedhomeip.com<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About\nDiiA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nDigital Illumination Interface Alliance (DiiA) is an open, global consortium of\nlighting companies that aims to grow the market for lighting-control solutions\nbased on Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) technology. DiiA is\ndriving the adoption of DALI-2, the latest version of the internationally\nstandardized DALI protocol. DALI-2 includes more product types, more features,\nclearer specifications, increased testing, and product certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nDALI\u20112 certification and trademark program, operated by DiiA, builds confidence\nin cross-vendor product interoperability. DiiA develops test specifications for DALI-2\nproduct compliance testing, and also creates new specifications for additional\nDALI-2 features and functions. The D4i certification program from DiiA brings\nstandardization to intra-luminaire DALI. For more information, please visit www.digitalilluminationinterface.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
