The Genesis of a Partnership
Picture this: the bustling Intelligent Environments office in Auckland, where IEL engineers meet with lighting designers and electrical consultants who are seeking to propose a lighting control solution that transcends the ordinary, elevating user experience and meeting clients’ energy efficiency goals.
Enter zencontrol, with its cutting-edge features yet unwavering commitment to keeping things simple.
Why zencontrol?
DALI-2 Compliance
We know that legacy systems fall short. We needed a solution that met ALL requirements of the AU/NZ lighting control standard. zencontrol delivers precisely that. Fully DALI-2 compliant, it provides the flexibility we demand.
Seamless Integration
No more handcuffs to a single manufacturer! With zencontrol’s open DALI protocol, Intelligent Environments can dance freely across the lighting landscape. The system seamlessly integrates with other DALI-certified products, regardless of the manufacturer.
Smart Software, Smart Decisions
zencontrol’s software simplifies design and commissioning. But here’s the magic: once installed, advanced algorithms analyse the site, identifying issues before they become headaches. Fault-finding time? Dramatically reduced!
Beyond Lighting
zencontrol, an Australian company with local support from zencontrol (NZ) Ltd, leads in innovative building tech. Their solutions include environmental sensors and cloud-based analytics for real-time insights, ensuring easy compliance with monitored emergency lighting.
The Advent of DALI-2 and zencontrol Cloud
Intelligent Environments swiftly adopted DALI for its groundbreaking individual control capabilities, revolutionising lighting systems.
As common with any emerging technology, early DALI systems had their challenges, but with the advent of DALI-2 and independent testing, compliance issues were resolved, ensuring seamless integration across products, and releasing end-clients from the “handcuffs” of proprietary systems that tied them to a single manufacturer.
zencontrol’s cloud-based programming further streamlines maintenance, enabling remote programming and automated testing, and reducing the necessity of site visits.
Our successful projects, like the Auckland Hospital Stroke Unit, delivered under Covid lockdown conditions underscore the benefits of remote programming of controls equipment, earning recognition in the international DALI Lighting Awards.
