Zhaga Street Light Controller

Our DALI D4i certified OpenSky IoT Zhaga smart street lighting controller (SLC) uses open standard telecom network. Use of cellular network allows the OpenSky IoT controller to connect directly to a local cell tower (LTE CAT 1 (4G) / GSM/GPRS). This eliminates the need for dedicated Gateways.

The standardized Zhaga book 18 interface of OpenSky outdoor lamp controller (OLC) ensures a quick, tool-free installation and universal luminaire compatibility.

ENEC compliant, OpenSky IoT Zhaga is a perfect smart city street lighting solution that is quick and easy to deploy throughout your city.

IoT Luminaire Controller - Open Standard Cellular Network

Open Standard Cellular Network

Public infrastructure demand high reliability and security. Therefore, OpenSky luminaire controller uses standardized 3GPP cellular network to connect an individual street light to our light management platform.

OpenSky IoT controller automatically selects the best available local connectivity:
LTE CAT 1 (4G) or GSM/GPRS.

Cellular networks comply to highest global security standards. It is used by billions of devices today. They offer long range, deep coverage, high availability and managed Low Power Wide Area network (LPWAN).

Gateway Free Installation

Unlike proprietary network providers (e.g. LoRA, Sigfox, Zigbee, Wi-Sun and UNB), OpenSky IoT street light controller connects directly with our light management platform via local cellphone tower.

There is no need for local Gateways. This in turn significantly reduces cost and hassle of maintaining a local network infrastructure, since local operators manage and maintain the network.

IoT Luminaire Controller - Auto-Commissioning

Auto-Commissioning

In-built GPS within OpenSky Zhaga controller supports automatic registration. This helps a local electrician to install the controllers without an expert knowledge/ training.

  • No need for a field application tool
  • No network engineering needed
  • OpenSky automatically receives its geo-location through:
    • GPS
    • GLONASS
    • Galileo
    • QZSS

Individual Light Management

Different parts of a city have different road lighting requirements. Individual light management through OpenSky street lighting control system offers incredible flexibility.

Each luminaire can be individually switched and dimmed using custom light scenes. Vice versa, luminaires send meaningful alerts for smart and efficient maintenance.

Features

Universal Compatibility - Smart Street Lighting

Zhaga Book 18 Interface

OpenSky IoT street light controller comes with a standard Zhaga (book 18) interface. This ensures universal compatibility with all LED luminaires (from any manufacturer) with a standardized Zhaga connector.

Tool Free Installation - IoT Controller

Tool-Free Installation

A simple twist-and-lock into the standardized connector secures OpenSky IoT controller into position in seconds – no tool needed.

Smart Street Lighting - Improved Safety

Integrated Ambient Light Sensor

Integrated photocell (twilight sensor) enables street light switching based on the naturally available ambient light.

IoT Luminaire Controller - Auto Commissioning

In-Built GPS

Inbuilt GPS helps to automatically geo-locate and commission an individual street light. This eliminates need for an in-field commissioning tool, network engineering and crew training.

IoT Luminaire Controller - Secure Connection

Secure Reliable LPWAN Communication

OpenSky IoT uses open standard LPWAN cellular communication: LTE CAT 1 (4G) / GSM/GPRS. It consumes less power, offers deep coverage and enables secure and efficient local communication, making it a reliable street light controller for your smart city.

Smart City IoT Controller

Flexibility

Easily create custom light profiles for your OpenSky smart street lights with Tvilight CityManager or 3rd party light management software (LMS). You have total control on when, where and how the lamps turn on/ dim.

Outdoor Lamp Controller - Open Standards

Interoperability

Cities often have multiple types of LED luminaires and drivers. Therefore, OpenSky IoT controller supports multiple dimming protocols (0-10V*, DALI, DALI 2, SR, D4I and ANSI C137.4).

*Drivers with 0-10V dimming must also support 24V auxiliary supply.

Outdoor Lamp Controller - Versatile Dimming

Versatile Dimming Control

OpenSky IoT street light controller supports ambient light sensor, astro-clock, calendar-based, adaptive and autonomous dimming.

IoT Outdoor Lighting Controller - Motion Sensor Support

Motion Sensor Support

Roads with limited traffic during the off-peak hours benefit significantly from adaptive light-on-demand. Therefore OpenSky supports compatibility with Zhaga DALI D4i and LSI based motion sensors (e.g. CitySense Lite).

Advanced Health Monitoring - Street Light Control System

Advanced Health Monitoring

When combined with a Smart LED Driver (D4i/ ANSI c137.4-2019), OpenSky IoT delivers powerful, actionable data about the energy grid and luminaire health. This information supports local lighting operators with fault analysis, asset lifetime prediction and budget planning.

Smart Street Lighting - Proactive Alerts/Notifications

Timely Notifications

Receive all updates concerning your smart street lighting infrastructure via email or through our CityManager software platform. It helps take quick restorative actions before citizens get a chance to complain.

Street Light Controller - Tilt Sensor

Pole Knock-Down Alert

In-built tilt sensor sends an automatic alert if the street pole suffers damage due to car crash. This in turn helps the maintenance crew to swiftly respond to unsafe exposed power grid as well as initiate warranty claims.

Street Light Controllers - OTA

Over-the-Air Update

OTA is essential for street light controllers. In particular, security updates / patches are mandatory. With OpenSky IoT, you can update the software in matter of minutes, rather than weeks or months.

Weather Resistant Outdoor Light Controller

IP66 + UV Stabilized

Outdoor application demands robustness and weather resistance. With IP66 and UV stabilized housing, the OpenSky luminaire controllers can last a very long time, even in the harsh outdoor environments.
