That\u2019s the primary focus of \u201cHow Smart Lighting Headaches are Delaying IoT,\u201d a presentation to be delivered by Russ Sharer, Vice President of Global Marketing for Fulham Co., Inc., at IoT Evolution to be held here January 22 -25.<\/p>\n<p>Fulham is a leading supplier of programmable LED lighting sub-systems and has been working with lighting vendors and OEMs to shape the future of intelligent lighting and IoT. As Sharer notes, there already is a new category of \u201cclever\u201d LED lighting products with on-board intelligence and programmability. To elevate these clever devices to smart lighting requires integration as well as intelligence, providing two-way communications for device monitoring and control. This is where the lighting industry is lagging behind; adopting common communication standards that can integrate current lighting controls into an IoT infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe challenges the lighting community are facing are typical of many industries; how to develop a common set of protocols to integrate legacy smart devices into an IoT infrastructure, said Sharer. \u201cClearly, IoT is going to be the foundation for building automation, but there are too many proprietary lighting control and communications standards. Today, customers can choose between DALI, Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and many more for lighting controls, but there is still no guarantee of integration with a central IoT platform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To complicate the interoperability issue, many vendors are creating their own flavors of popular control standards. For example, some vendors are using DALI electrically and signaling, but adding proprietary commands for basic functions. Similarly, Zigbee has multiple variants of commands for when a luminaire is turned \u201coff,\u201d so two luminaires can receive the same signal and one device dims while the other turns off completely, which matters when it comes to energy consumption and extending the life of the luminaire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe teething pains of the lighting control industry are the perfect test case for other IoT control applications,\u201d said Sharer. \u201cIt shows that without a well-defined set of common control standards, there is no way to implement control using IoT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sharer\u2019s presentation, \u201cHow Smart Lighting Headaches are Delaying IoT,\u201d is scheduled to take place Thursday, January 25, at 10:00 a.m. \u2013
