Advanced LED lighting automation
The boneIO Dimmer LED gen 2 lighting controller enables the creation of intelligent operating scenarios tailored to users' daily needs. The lighting can automatically respond to the time of day, household presence, motion sensor readings, or other events recorded by the Smart Home system. The controller allows for smooth adjustment of brightness and light color, making it easy to create the right atmosphere for both work and leisure. Users can create beautiful lighting scenes with the following configurations:
- 1 RGBW LED strip and 4 single-color LED strips,
- 8 single-color LED strips,
- 2 RGBW LED strips,
- 2 CCT LED strips and 4 single-color LED strips,
- 2 CCT LED strips and 1 RGBW LED strip
Thanks to integration with Home Assistant via Ethernet or USB-C communication, changing the color, brightness or setting a specific lighting scene is possible in an extremely accessible way, while operating locally and without requiring access to the cloud.
Thanks to eight PWM channels, the controller allows you to create advanced scenes in many configurations.
The built-in ESP32-S3 chip and RS485 and CAN communication ensure high performance, fast automation and wide integration possibilities in modern Smart Home installations.
Expansion of the Smart Home system
The boneIO LED Dimmer gen 2 is not only a lighting controller, but also a versatile element of modern building automation. The device is equipped with a powerful ESP32-S3 microcontroller, which provides high computing power, stable communication, and full compatibility with the Home Assistant and ESPHome platforms. This allows the controller to become part of an extensive smart home ecosystem, implementing advanced automation scenarios. A major advantage of the device is the presence of RS485 and CAN communication buses , commonly used in professional building and industrial automation installations. These enable Reliable data exchange between multiple devices operating in a single network, even over long distances. This allows the boneIO LED Dimmer gen 2 to work not only with lighting systems, but also with devices such as air conditioners, ventilation units, heat recovery units, photovoltaic inverters, electricity meters, and energy management systems. Integration with other devices allows for the creation of practical automation solutions that increase building comfort and energy efficiency.
