Crestron Releases Wireless Lighting Control for Businesses

Crestron announces Zūm wireless lighting control, including dimmers, switchers, sensors and other components for easy installation.

March 6, 2017 Robert Archer Leave a Comment

Right off the heels of the announcement that Crestron will now charge $500 for jobs that include Lutron or Vantage lighting controls, the company released its own series of wireless lighting control products called Zūm.

The Zūm product line is designed to make the setup and management of lighting control in any space (including commercial environments) easy and affordable.

“Setting up standalone lighting control in any space is as easy as ‘pair and play,'” says Evan Ackmann, technology manager, lighting, Crestron. “With just a few taps, everything just works. Zūm devices are self aware and communicate with each other to provide intelligent wireless lighting control without programming or commissioning.”

The product line includes wireless dimmers, switchers, sensors and other components. Crestron says that all integrators need to do is make a few taps on a keypad, dimmer or smart device app to complete an installation. Dealers can set up everything from standalone, single zone systems to centralized building-wide control and management.

“Zūm Network Bridges snap onto the Zūm Load Controller to add remote setup, daylighting, time-clock scheduling, temporary overrides and other advanced capabilities,” according to Crestron.

A single load controller supports as many as 32 devices, and each device has a wireless range of 150 feet. Crestron points out that through the product line’s mesh networking technologies, “communication hops from one device to the other to create a mesh network of up to 2.25 million square feet.”

This approach eliminates interface boxes or exposed antennas within rooms and hallways. Centralized building controls can be deployed using the same devices as stand-alone systems to streamline inventory management.

All Zūm products offer standard mounting and a choice of four load controllers — 0-10 volts, relay, plug load and universal phase to enable all system devices to communicate. The Network Bridge snaps into the Load Controller, and Bluetooth communications facilitate setup through an iPhone.

Installed Zūm systems offer users remote management with options such as time-clock scheduling, daylighting and building wide on/off. Direct communications with the companion Zūm Cloud service identifies all vacant rooms with lighting that was left on to enable users to turn those lights off to save energy. The cloud service also provides alert notifications for remote support and room usage data.
