S4i IB - Casambi and Crestron Integration

S4i USB Casambi Gateway
S4I IB CONNECTIONS
Solutions for Integrators is pleased to announce that the S4i Integration Broker (IB) now integrates with Standard Crestron control systems.

The integration between the S4i IB and Crestron allows users to seamlessly control Casambi lighting from their Crestron system using a variety of methods, including: Touchscreens - Keypads - Mobile devices etc.

Casambi's app makes it easy to create scenes, schedules, and lighting automations without coding. Now with S4i IB integration with Crestron, automating and controlling lighting from a building automation system is even easier. Crestron SIMPL Driver is delivered when the Crestron module licence is purchased.

S4i USB Casambi Gateway for the S4i IB

S4i USB Casambi Gateway
S4I IB DEDICATED
CASAMBI GATEWAY
The S4i IB can now be connected directly to a wireless Casambi network with the release of our USB Casambi Gateway.

The dedicated gateway is designed to connect to the IB Host via USB and connect to a wireless Casambi networks directly without having to resort to protocol conversion and the limitation and costs that these impose.

The Gateway is Casambi enabled by virtue of having a Casambi CBM-003 chip within, allowing it to be paired directly to any wireless Casambi mesh network.

Once connected to the S4i IB and paired to a Casambi network, all nodes can be mapped to other supported systems, and the IB XAPI API, XBAC BACNET and MQTT for third party control system integration.

USB Cables & Extending Options
Always use good quality USB cables
Using poor quality cables will give you no end of problems - it's just not worth it !

Note - there is a limit to the length a USB connection can be run.
          Using a good quality "active" USB cable between 20-30 meters is possible
           Using a USB CAT6, or HDBaseT active extender between 50-70 meters is possible
          USB can be extended over Ethernet to provide up to 90 meters over Cat6/a cable


Connectivity
As with any other Casambi enabled product, the USB Gateway should not be placed in a metal enclosure or next to large metal structures. Metal will effectively block radio signals which are crucial to reliable operation of the product.

A thorough connectivity testing is strongly recommended in the installation site.
