In the Casambi lighting control system, Control Hierarchy is a framework that organizes and prioritizes control commands to prevent conflicts among various input sources, such as manual switches, sensors, timers, and the Casambi app. This hierarchy ensures a smooth operation by defining which control inputs take precedence in different scenarios. For instance, if a manual switch and a timer are both set to activate the same light, the system can prioritize the manual switch, allowing its command to override the timer temporarily.

In practice, Casambi’s Control Hierarchy is particularly useful in complex settings, such as office or hotel lighting, where manual inputs or emergency overrides might need to take priority over automated commands to ensure safety and user control. This flexible approach allows for custom priority settings and enables the integration of sensors, like occupancy or daylight sensors, without disrupting other programmed functions.

For more information on control settings and specific use cases, check out Casambi's resources on their official website or their support section.

Casambi network sizes depend on the network type. In a Classic Casambi network, up to 127 devices can be connected. In the Evolution network, which is recommended for newer installations and higher performance, up to 250 devices can be integrated. These device limits are designed to ensure stable communication and optimal functionality within the network. For larger setups, Casambi also offers a "Site" mode that combines multiple networks within one physical location, allowing more extensive installations.

To pair your Casambi device, start by downloading the Casambi app from the App Store or Google Play Store. Open the app, create an account, and follow the on-screen instructions to add a new device. Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and that you are near the Casambi-compatible fixture. The app will guide you through the pairing and setup process.

To pair your Connected by WiZ device with the WiZ app, start by ensuring your light is in "pairing mode." Here’s a quick guide:

1. Enter Pairing Mode: If the device hasn’t been paired before, turning it on will automatically activate pairing mode. If it has been paired, quickly switch the light off and on three times, with a one-second interval each time, until it begins to pulse blue (for color lights) or cool white (for tunable lights) to signal readiness.
2. Pair in the App: Open the WiZ app and tap the "+" button to add your light. Ensure your phone is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network during this process, as Connected by WiZ devices use this frequency to establish the connection.
3. Manual Setup (if needed): If the app doesn’t detect your device, you may be prompted to connect your phone to the Wi-Fi network emitted by the light (typically named “WiZConfig_XXXX”) for manual setup. After connecting, return to the app to complete pairing.

For more troubleshooting tips or if you encounter issues during pairing, refer to the support articles available on WiZ’s website or use the in-app chat support for further assistance.

The Connected by WiZ app supports a range of Connected by WiZ Connected products, including smart bulbs, light strips, luminaires, outdoor lights, and home monitoring devices. The app is compatible with both iOS and Android devices, allowing users to control and customize their WiZ lighting setups. For a full list of compatible devices, visit WiZ Connected's support page https://www.wizconnected.com/en-gb/support

Casambi products work with a wide range of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) compatible devices, including various smart lighting fixtures, sensors, and switches. Compatible devices can be integrated and controlled via the Casambi app on iOS and Android.

Connected by WiZ works on most Wi-Fi networks. We use 2.4GHz, which is the most commonly available Wi-Fi range on both old and new routers, consumes less power and reaches further than 5GHz, in order to maximize range and compatibility.

You have a brand new, cutting-edge Wi-Fi 6E router? A Mesh solution? No worries, all of those natively support 2.4GHz (as well as more advanced things of course) and you should not have to modify any setting. Connected by WiZ will peacefully run on the 2.4GHz range, while your more advanced electronic devices may enjoy your ultra-fast 5GHz network.

Connected by WiZ operates on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, on either 802.11 b, g or n wireless standard. 802.11 ac and ax standards are not supported, although this is usually not a problem since most routers still offer b/g/n in addition to those newer standards. 5GHz Wi-Fi is not supported: your Connected by WiZ devices will stay connected to the 2.4GHz network (but you are of course free to use your 5GHz network for everything else).

However, once your lights are paired, you can control them from anywhere through the local network and the Cloud. No need to keep your phone connected to the 2.4GHz network.

Connected by WiZ requires WPA2-Personal or WPA3-Personal security. WEP and WPA-entreprise are not supported. Open networks without password are not supported.

Casambi products primarily use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for their wireless networking, enabling efficient, reliable control of smart lighting systems. BLE technology supports a mesh network structure, allowing all Casambi-enabled devices to communicate and extend the network without the need for a central router. This approach makes installations scalable, from individual rooms to large, complex setups. For more details, please visit https://casambi.com/

For dwellings, fixed lighting should be installed with controls being either manual, automatic or a combination of both, however for buildings other than dwellings, fixed lighting should achieve levels of illumination appropriate to the activity and the use of lighting controls should be such that unoccupied spaces have automatic controls to turn the general lighting off when the space is not in use, and occupied spaces should have automatic controls suitable for the space, during normal usage.
