April 17, 2012 – Daintree Networks announced WA Wireless Adapters for wireless lighting controls within commercial and industrial buildings. The WA family offers powerful control options to fit a variety of fixture types, customer requirements and budgets. WA Wireless Adapters are low-cost, low-profile devices which add wireless connectivity and distributed control to lighting fixtures, sensors, wall switches and other wired products within buildings. Through a Wireless Adapter, most fixtures and other off-the-shelf products can easily add the ZigBee communications standard at either the point of manufacture or the customer site, and connect to Daintree’s centralized ControlScope software and other ZigBee-certified wireless products.
The WA product line includes adapters for both low-cost control of individual fixtures and multi-function control of complete circuits. Products include:
- WA100 – offers complete wireless control (on/off/dim) for circuits of up to 10 fixtures or 15A, as well as individual fixtures, sensors and switches/dimmers, with plenum rating;
- WA100-PM – adds integrated power monitoring;
- WFA100 – offers complete wireless control with a reduced form factor and price point for in-fixture installation, up to 5A;
- WFA100-SN – adds local sensor control; and
- WGA100 – provides on/off switching and 0-10V control as well as reporting and monitoring of non-lighting devices such as motors, fans and thermostats.
In addition to meeting customer needs across industries, the WFA100 was built to address a growing demand from lighting fixture manufacturers to pre-install ZigBee functionality inside existing fixtures at the point of manufacture. With a streamlined form factor, the WFA100 fits seamlessly inside many commercial and industrial LED and fluorescent fixtures.
