System flexibility
No longer are you locked into or limited by a static installation.
With zencontrol you can add or remove features at any time. Add power monitoring, planview, heat maps and many other features when you want.
Multi-site management
Manage multiple sites easily and quickly from anywhere in the world.
The zencontrol cloud allows facilities managers or site engineers to visualise, manage and deploy from a single user interface.
Multi- user management
Smart data technology allows simultaneous multiple user access right down to a single light fitting.
Multi-user technology allows quicker commissioning and better use of resources.
Remote commissioning
Setup and commission sites from the comfort of your office.
Change how the building operates, or just add “earth hour”.
Grid view
Dramatically decrease building commissioning time by up to 100x with zencontrol Grid view. Quickly change device settings on thousands of devices in seconds.
Cut and paste settings across floors, buildings or sites. It has never been quicker or easier.
Plan view
View your installation in an easy to understand plan view. See the location of lighting, switches and sensors. Plan view allows users to see the position of faults and the current state of the lighting.
Quickly and easily change room settings or light levels.
Analytics
View occupancy maps, energy consumption or even lux maps to better understand the usage of your building.
Security
zencontrol is built on a secure foundation and is deployed worldwide using Amazon web services.
Fault reports
Gain access to emergency and fault reports easily
API interface
Gain secure access to your site data with cloud API, allowing interfacing to higher level building management systems
Data security
The zencontrol cloud protects your site data against
▪ Loss of data for emergency test records and logs
▪ Malicious changes by rogue employees
▪ Loss or theft with automatic backups
▪ Cryptolockers and randsomware
▪ PC failure
Security
zencontrol takes security seriously and sets an unprecedented standard in lighting control. Using outdated security implementations, other systems may not provide adequate protection now or into the future. Some systems use plain text UDP packets which allow for easy intrusion, while others are using encrypted multicast packets and obfuscation to keep you safe.
zencontrol sets the standard in security with the use of industry proven and backed TLS 1.2. Transport layer security is not just encryption, but a complete security layer which comprises of secure technologies such as SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). zencontrol has ensured correct use of TLS1.2 and uses ciphers including AES256-GCM over TCP/IP protocols. zencontrol security documentation is available on request.
Security by obscurity is not a secure practice.
Reliability
Fast and reliable data interaction is very important in today’s control systems.
Guaranteeing that data is fast and delivered reliably is critical to the well-being of the building. zencontrol is built on industry standard TCP / IP protocols rather than UDP.
The zencontrol packet handlers ensure correct handshaking and closed-loop acknowledgements, making sure lights are controlled when they need to be, and without compromise.
