Intelligent lighting solution for office building

The sensors of the NET product family are successfully used for the SOLOBLU® Fusion IoT platform from SOLO Greentec GmbH. Our customer uses the SENSOTEC hardware and has implemented its own software that provides a user-friendly web or mobile application.

With SOLOBLU®, SOLO Greentec has developed an IoT platform that goes far beyond conventional sensor applications.

By connecting sensors and reading light usage data, many new features are made available that offer customers real added value. The implemented mesh technology gives the system an intelligent backbone in both existing and new buildings for a variety of IoT applications.

Energy data monitoring, workplace management, predictive maintenance and motion heatmaps are pioneering product enhancements. Thanks to this sensor-based solution, the lighting responds dynamically to the building’s usage. The solution can thus contribute to energy-optimised operation and a reduction in operating costs, although the savings achieved depend on usage and the type of building.

90^%

In reference projects, depending on the application, operating cost reductions of up to 75–90 per cent have been achieved compared with conventional control solutions.

Satisfied customer

"Digitalisation – made easy. This guiding principle motivated us to create a unique system: SOLOBLU®. Wired building digitalisation involving highly complex programming and addressing is a thing of the past.
With SOLOBLU®, we are ushering in the future. A future in which buildings can adapt their energy consumption to actual usage with minimal hardware. Because only when a building knows how it is being used can it actually save energy.
SOLOBLU® is a smart network of sensors and actuators that enables any analogue building to be digitised and helps to optimise operating costs."

SENSOTEC sensors and technologies in use

The two SENSOTEC sensors HB PIR 3360 NET Wire and PIR NET are in use.

Depending on the application, the sensors have either a circular 360° or rectangular detection area. The devices can be set up and grouped using wireless Bluetooth mesh communication, offering customers maximum flexibility. The specially developed IR lens, combined with the high-performance PIR sensor, guarantees maximum sensor performance.

✓ Light sensor & constant light control
✓ Wireless communication via Bluetooth Mesh
✓ DALI compatible
✓ Group configuration via software for surfaces, rooms or the entire building
✓ User-defined lighting groups with configurable behaviour (up to 16 DALI-2 ECGs)

NET sensors

Passive infrared (PIR)

STEINEL multi-lens technology is reminiscent of a fly's compound eye. It provides seamless monitoring of a hemispherical detection zone and, as an optimum lens system for motion detectors with dual/triple sensor, covers detection angles of 180° to 360°.

Quick installation and commissioning: The wireless networking of the luminaires reduces the installation effort and makes planning easier and more flexible, especially in existing buildings. The appropriate settings can be easily parameterised in the specially developed software platform.

Insights into a project
