MQTT
zencontrol provides easy integration with publish-subscribe network protocol MQTT for interfacing with BMS.
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight, publish-subscribe network protocol that transports messages between devices.
DMX
zencontrol works with stage lighting through DMX integration.
zencontrol provides integration with DMX(Digital Multiplex) the standard for control of stage lighting and effects. This includes support for up to 192 channels of DMX control, use with DALI-2 Switches and Sensors, simultaneous dimming and more.
Fixed loads
Easily add control of switched loads which do not support the DALI protocol.
Use the DALI relay, full featured Lighting control module or Room controller.
Blind control
Incorporating blind control directly into a DALI line simplifies the system architecture while ensuring optimal control.
zencontrol provides a range of solutions to achieve this effortlessly. The zc-blind controller can manage up to four AC blind motors, while the smart-blind option, which is field-mountable, comes with an integrated current sensor and is available in both wired and wireless versions. For those utilising a zencontrol application controller with RS485 capabilities, a software update can enhance its functionality to support Somfy SDN blind controllers, allowing for the control of up to 10 SDN blinds per controller.
The biggest job by zencontrol had over 1,200,000 individual BACnet points, realtime.
BACnet
zencontrol BACnet servers can provide large amounts of data, fast and efficiently.
zencontrol BACnet controllers also support notifications and other standard BACnet methods.
Security
Interface to security systems with the low-level input and outputs.
Looking to integrate your security systems with lighting and air conditioning controls? zencontrol offers a variety of robust options to meet your needs:
- Option 1: Utilise volt-free outputs and inputs available on our room and lighting control modules (RCM and LCM) for a wired connection.
- Option 2: Go wireless with our smart-io, providing a SELV connection between your security panel and the DALI line for both inputs and outputs.
- Option 3: Need more flexibility? Our io-8 offers a DIN-rail mount SELV interface, accommodating up to 8 inputs or outputs.
With zencontrol, you can effortlessly sync your lighting and air conditioning systems with your security setup. Plus, our DALI sensors and switches can even trigger security alerts. Choose zencontrol for a fully integrated, smart, and secure building solution.
Audio visual
Interface to the AV systems through either RS232 as found on the Lighting control module and Room controller, or zencontrol UDP interfaces, BACnet or MQTT.
zencontrol provides a number of software interfaces that allow third parties to connect audio-visual systems for seamless interaction
- TPI – third party interface provides a lightweight UDP interface allowing third parties to connect and send commands
- Advanced TPI – is a more advanced interface giving third parties access to additional information
- BACnet – allows for the control of groups, scenes and lighting
- MQTT – allows third parties to interface and subscribe to the system.
HVAC
Turn on the HVAC services only when the room is occupied.
The zencontrol BACnet interface makes it easy to interface controllers to increase efficiency and reduce power consumption.
DALI-2
Complete support for DALI-2 devices allows for cross manufacturer compatibility.
Increasing freedom, availability and choice for the installers and customers so they can choose from a larger number of compatible products.
Emergency testing
You can easily manage compliance testing and maintenance across multiple sites and buildings with the zencontrol Cloud portal.
Third-party analytics
Use the zencontrol third party API to gain access to your buildings data and import it into other dashboard and building systems.
Control4
The design of zencontrol application controllers allow for smart integration between C4 and zencontrol with fast responsive control.
The zencontrol driver will import your commissioned settings directly from the connected zencontrol application controller.
