New specifications from DiiA enable smart DALI drivers that can report data, supporting DALI in the IoT era, and can also simplify the addition of sensors and communication nodes to luminaires via an intra-luminaire DALI bus
PISCATAWAY, N.J., Sept. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Addressing the market need for intelligent lighting fixtures with sensing and communication capabilities and IoT connectivity, the Digital Illumination Interface Alliance (DiiA) has finalized a set of new specifications based on the DALI lighting-control protocol.
The specifications enable smart LED drivers and luminaires that can report operational, diagnostic and inventory data. Also, the specifications simplify the addition of sensors and wireless-communication nodes (also known as network lighting controllers) to luminaires by taking care of power-supply requirements. In turn, this makes it more straightforward for luminaires to participate in the IoT.
DiiA is the global industry alliance for DALI lighting control, and the five new DiiA specifications build on DALI-2, with its strong focus on multi-vendor interoperability. DiiA has worked with other organizations, notably the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), to ensure global alignment of the specifications (see below).
Specification details
One of the new DiiA specifications (known as Part 251) focuses on luminaire-specific data for asset management and other purposes. This would allow a manufacturer to encode data about the luminaire – such as part number, or nominal light output – in the factory. When the luminaire is installed, the data is readily available to the lighting-control network. A utility company or lighting-installation owner could use this capability to monitor and manage their lighting assets accurately and efficiently.
Two specifications (Parts 252 and 253) enable smart DALI-2 drivers that can store and report operational and diagnostic data in a standardized format. For example, the driver could monitor and report its energy usage, total operating time, and incidences of thermal shutdown, as well as many other parameters.
Two further specifications (Part 250 and AUX) focus on power-supply requirements for DALI devices in luminaires. Devices such as sensors or wireless-communication modules are powered by the DALI driver via an intra-luminaire DALI bus. Where necessary, an auxiliary power supply is also specified. As well as simplifying the addition of such DALI devices to luminaries, this opens the possibility for the luminaire to participate in the IoT and to communicate and exchange data with a remote network infrastructure.
More details about DiiA’s new specifications are available on the DiiA website: www.digitalilluminationinterface.org/specifications.
Harmonization
One impetus for DiiA’s work was harmonization of different approaches, creating an open market to enable choice for OEMs. A variety of solutions have already been implemented by different suppliers, including drivers that simplify the connection of sensors to luminaires.
In developing the specifications, DiiA worked with the ANSI Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) C137 on Lighting Systems. The ANSI committee provided feedback on the draft DiiA specifications, and forthcoming ANSI standards in this area will be aligned with the DiiA specifications, including the proposed ANSI standard C137.4, entitled “Digital Interface with Auxiliary Power.”
“The close cooperation between ANSI ASC C137 and DiiA is enabling development of specifications that will address stakeholder needs and have global relevancy by aligning with the DiiA specifications,” said Mike O’Boyle, Technical Coordinator of the proposed ANSI C137.4 Working Group.
In due course, DiiA will provide the new specifications to IEC for incorporation into IEC 62386, the international DALI standard. Also, DiiA will create test sequences for the new specifications, enabling their incorporation into the DALI-2 certification program.
About DiiA
The Digital Illumination Interface Alliance (DiiA) is an open, global consortium of lighting companies that aims to grow the market for lighting-control solutions based on Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) technology.
DiiA operates the DALI‑2 certification program, based on version 2 of the international IEC 62386 standard. DALI‑2 certification brings the promise of significantly improved interoperability and additional functionality compared with current DALI systems in the market.
DiiA develops test sequences that enable its members to verify compliance of their products with the DALI-2 standard. DiiA is also developing new specifications for additional features and functions of DALI-2 products.
DiiA is a member program of the IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organization (ISTO). For more information, please visit www.digitalilluminationinterface.org.

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, Sept. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PANTHEON.tech, the proven supporter of open-source software and its communities, and the leader in Software Defined Networking (SDN) and the OpenDaylight (ODL) platform has decided to open-source the core components of the current go-to SDN controller development kit: lighty.io.
PANTHEON.tech continues to push forward the open-source community projects and its commercial applications developed on open-source software.
PANTHEON.tech’s COO Stefan Kobza stated: “lighty.io journey started when we realized the way to move the upstream ODL to the direction we envisioned was to provide a solution rather than talk about it. Therefore, we have focused on a solution of the biggest pain point of current ODL, and turned it into the idea-bearer of the whole product. We have taken the biggest obstacle – Apache Karaf, out of the ODL developers’ lives, and hence improving their efficiency tremendously.”
On the other hand, the lighty.io commercial product is available for purchase which was developed using the same lighty.io core, which was officially announced as free and open-source software at the Open Networking Summit Europe/Amsterdam.
We are tirelessly adding new features with the demand and cooperation with our customers. Such as the lighty.io Network Topology Visualization Component, Go/Java/Python RESTCONF clients, improved RESTCONF notifications with HTTP 2.0 support, improved southbound NETCONF plugin with the implemented support of YANG actions, NETCONF simulator to name a few.
Our vision from the start was to enhance the commercial version of lighty.io with bleeding edge features and improvements that are not yet in open-source ODL. This will leverage lighty.io users’ capability to speed up their development and deployment. Today lighty.io users will get the chance to experience these changes, instead of waiting until such improvements appear in the upstream or developing themselves.
PANTHEON.tech released lighty.io core components under Eclipse Public License v1.0 as a continuous support to the community.
We believe this will result in spinning up new projects based on OpenDaylight components making them faster and cheaper to develop and will give you a competitive edge in today’s fast evolving world of micro service and cloud-oriented deployments.
We encourage all OpenDaylight users, Data Center managers, Telco and Service Provider DevOps to give lighty.io a try with their existing applications. It will amaze you.

According to G2 Crowd, “Organizations use employee engagement software to understand employee sentiment, promote company-wide recognition of employee success, and to promote positive activities that benefit the health or wellness of the organization or its employees.”
Almost 9 out of every 10 user reviews of Poppulo on the G2 Crowd site gave the software either five star or a four star ranking, with one reviewer saying “Poppulo is not just a valuable tool, it’s invaluable insight” and another commenting “it’s by far the best from its competitors.”

New specifications from DiiA enable smart DALI drivers that can report data, supporting DALI in the IoT era, and can also simplify the addition of sensors and communication nodes to luminaires via an intra-luminaire DALI bus
PISCATAWAY, N.J., Sept. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Addressing the market need for intelligent lighting fixtures with sensing and communication capabilities and IoT connectivity, the Digital Illumination Interface Alliance (DiiA) has finalized a set of new specifications based on the DALI lighting-control protocol.
The specifications enable smart LED drivers and luminaires that can report operational, diagnostic and inventory data. Also, the specifications simplify the addition of sensors and wireless-communication nodes (also known as network lighting controllers) to luminaires by taking care of power-supply requirements. In turn, this makes it more straightforward for luminaires to participate in the IoT.
DiiA is the global industry alliance for DALI lighting control, and the five new DiiA specifications build on DALI-2, with its strong focus on multi-vendor interoperability. DiiA has worked with other organizations, notably the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), to ensure global alignment of the specifications (see below).
Specification details
One of the new DiiA specifications (known as Part 251) focuses on luminaire-specific data for asset management and other purposes. This would allow a manufacturer to encode data about the luminaire – such as part number, or nominal light output – in the factory. When the luminaire is installed, the data is readily available to the lighting-control network. A utility company or lighting-installation owner could use this capability to monitor and manage their lighting assets accurately and efficiently.
Two specifications (Parts 252 and 253) enable smart DALI-2 drivers that can store and report operational and diagnostic data in a standardized format. For example, the driver could monitor and report its energy usage, total operating time, and incidences of thermal shutdown, as well as many other parameters.
Two further specifications (Part 250 and AUX) focus on power-supply requirements for DALI devices in luminaires. Devices such as sensors or wireless-communication modules are powered by the DALI driver via an intra-luminaire DALI bus. Where necessary, an auxiliary power supply is also specified. As well as simplifying the addition of such DALI devices to luminaries, this opens the possibility for the luminaire to participate in the IoT and to communicate and exchange data with a remote network infrastructure.
More details about DiiA’s new specifications are available on the DiiA website: www.digitalilluminationinterface.org/specifications.
Harmonization
One impetus for DiiA’s work was harmonization of different approaches, creating an open market to enable choice for OEMs. A variety of solutions have already been implemented by different suppliers, including drivers that simplify the connection of sensors to luminaires.
In developing the specifications, DiiA worked with the ANSI Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) C137 on Lighting Systems. The ANSI committee provided feedback on the draft DiiA specifications, and forthcoming ANSI standards in this area will be aligned with the DiiA specifications, including the proposed ANSI standard C137.4, entitled “Digital Interface with Auxiliary Power.”
“The close cooperation between ANSI ASC C137 and DiiA is enabling development of specifications that will address stakeholder needs and have global relevancy by aligning with the DiiA specifications,” said Mike O’Boyle, Technical Coordinator of the proposed ANSI C137.4 Working Group.
In due course, DiiA will provide the new specifications to IEC for incorporation into IEC 62386, the international DALI standard. Also, DiiA will create test sequences for the new specifications, enabling their incorporation into the DALI-2 certification program.
About DiiA
The Digital Illumination Interface Alliance (DiiA) is an open, global consortium of lighting companies that aims to grow the market for lighting-control solutions based on Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) technology.
DiiA operates the DALI‑2 certification program, based on version 2 of the international IEC 62386 standard. DALI‑2 certification brings the promise of significantly improved interoperability and additional functionality compared with current DALI systems in the market.
DiiA develops test sequences that enable its members to verify compliance of their products with the DALI-2 standard. DiiA is also developing new specifications for additional features and functions of DALI-2 products.
DiiA is a member program of the IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organization (ISTO). For more information, please visit www.digitalilluminationinterface.org.

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, Sept. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PANTHEON.tech, the proven supporter of open-source software and its communities, and the leader in Software Defined Networking (SDN) and the OpenDaylight (ODL) platform has decided to open-source the core components of the current go-to SDN controller development kit: lighty.io.
PANTHEON.tech continues to push forward the open-source community projects and its commercial applications developed on open-source software.
PANTHEON.tech’s COO Stefan Kobza stated: “lighty.io journey started when we realized the way to move the upstream ODL to the direction we envisioned was to provide a solution rather than talk about it. Therefore, we have focused on a solution of the biggest pain point of current ODL, and turned it into the idea-bearer of the whole product. We have taken the biggest obstacle – Apache Karaf, out of the ODL developers’ lives, and hence improving their efficiency tremendously.”
On the other hand, the lighty.io commercial product is available for purchase which was developed using the same lighty.io core, which was officially announced as free and open-source software at the Open Networking Summit Europe/Amsterdam.
We are tirelessly adding new features with the demand and cooperation with our customers. Such as the lighty.io Network Topology Visualization Component, Go/Java/Python RESTCONF clients, improved RESTCONF notifications with HTTP 2.0 support, improved southbound NETCONF plugin with the implemented support of YANG actions, NETCONF simulator to name a few.
Our vision from the start was to enhance the commercial version of lighty.io with bleeding edge features and improvements that are not yet in open-source ODL. This will leverage lighty.io users’ capability to speed up their development and deployment. Today lighty.io users will get the chance to experience these changes, instead of waiting until such improvements appear in the upstream or developing themselves.
PANTHEON.tech released lighty.io core components under Eclipse Public License v1.0 as a continuous support to the community.
We believe this will result in spinning up new projects based on OpenDaylight components making them faster and cheaper to develop and will give you a competitive edge in today’s fast evolving world of micro service and cloud-oriented deployments.
We encourage all OpenDaylight users, Data Center managers, Telco and Service Provider DevOps to give lighty.io a try with their existing applications. It will amaze you.
