Crestron, a global leader in control and automation technology, announced today it
is
now shipping Zūm (pronounced “ZOOM’), which makes design, setup, and
management of lighting control in any space easy, fast, and affordable. All the
essential “building block’ devices (wireless dimmers, switches, sensors, etc.)
needed
for dimming and automation are thoughtfully engineered to work together
wirelessly.
Setup only requires a few taps on a keypad, dimmer, or mobile app. Scaling from
standalone systems to centralized building-wide control and network management is
literally a snap. The Zūm Network Bridge simply snaps onto the Zūm Load
Controller
to add remote setup, daylighting, time clock scheduling, temporary overrides, and
other advanced capabilities.
With just a few devices, Zūm gives lighting designers everything they need for
complete lighting control in almost any space. A single load controller can support
up
to 32 devices. Each device has a wireless communication range of 150 feet in every
direction. Communication hops from one device to the other to create a mesh
network
of up to 2.25 million square feet. There’s no need for interface boxes or exposed
antennae hanging from the ceiling. Centralized building-wide lighting control can be
deployed using the same devices as standalone systems.
The Zūm is not available in the EMEA region yet.
