Glossary

  • Node
    Node refers to Interact ready luminaires, mains powered sensors, switch relays, and Smart T-LEDs.

  • Interact Builder
    Interact Builder is the commissioning platform which includes mobile app and web portal.

  • Gateway
    A device that connects the wireless lighting network to the cloud, enabling advanced features.

  • Luminaires
    Light fixtures, which may have built-in sensors or transceivers for wireless communication.

  • Smart T-LEDs
    Lamps with integrated wireless communication such as Bluetooth and Zigbee, used in Signify Interact for Intelligent Buildings.

  • Switch Relay
    A device that enables wireless ON/OFF and dimming control for non-Interact ready luminaires or other loads.

  • Wireless Switch
    User interface device for manual control (ON/OFF, dimming, scene selection, and color temperature).

  • Zigbee Green Power (ZGP) Devices
    Battery-powered or kinetic switches and sensors that send commands in the Zigbee network.

  • Sensor Ready (SR) Driver
    A driver in luminaires or bridges that powers and communicates with sensors or transceivers.

  • Transceiver
    A component in luminaires for wireless communication, without sensing capabilities.

  • DALI Bridge
    A device that enables wireless control of DALI luminaires.

  • 0-10 V Bridge
    A device that enables wireless control of 0-10 V luminaires.

  • DALI Extender
    DALI Extender extends the SR bus to the DALI bus, supporting longer trunking lines and additional applications.

  • Group
    A collection of nodes and (optionally) ZGP devices configured to operate together.

  • Zone
    Enables nodes in a group to be linked together to respond in unison to scenes. Zones are also required to enable Daylight Dependent Regulation (DDR).

  • Scene
    A preset configuration of light levels and color temperatures for a group or zone.

  • Schedule
    A programmed set of actions (ON/OFF, and scene recall) for groups at specific times or days.

  • Expert
    User role responsible for commissioning, configuring, and maintaining projects.

  • User
    End user role with access to control assigned groups via app or portal.

  • Commissioning
    The process of setting up and configuring the Signify Interact for Intelligent Buildings.

  • Project
    An installation or site, managed within the Interact Builder platform.

  • Energy Reporting
    Feature providing energy consumption data.

  • System Monitoring
    Capability to view device status, failures, and energy use.

  • Demand Response
    Temporary reduction of energy consumption, often in response to utility signals.

  • Daylight Dependent Regulation (DDR)
    Automatic dimming based on ambient light levels.

  • Daylight Dependent Switching
    Automatic switching off of lights when sufficient daylight is present.

  • High End Trim
    Setting to limit the maximum light output of a group.

  • Remote Control
    Ability to control lights and settings from anywhere via app or portal.

  • OTA (Over-the-Air) Updates
    Remote firmware and software updates for system devices.

  • IT Configuration
    Network and security settings required for system operation.

  • Wireless Network
    The Zigbee-based communication network connecting all devices.

  • System Components
    The hardware and software elements that make up the Signify Interact for Intelligent Buildings.

  • Preparation
    Steps required before installation and commissioning.

  • Install
    The process of physically setting up the system components.

  • Operate
    Day-to-day use and control of the lighting system.

  • Service and Maintenance
    Ongoing support and troubleshooting for the system.

  • Third-party Integration
    Connecting Signify Interact for Intelligent Buildings with other systems or products.

  • Security
    Measures and features to protect the system and data.
