The RTM smart wireless lighting node is a compact, addressable module designed to enable the creation of highly intelligent and efficient lighting control systems. Engineered for flexibility and scalability, the RTM is ideally suited for remotely controlling and monitoring decorative and architectural lighting installations. This makes it a valuable solution for illuminating commercial streets, parking garages, monuments, parks, and other urban or architectural environments where advanced lighting control is needed.
Beyond simple switching, the RTM functions as a scheduler and energy management device. It continuously measures energy consumption while determining when to turn lights on or off or adjust their brightness levels. This level of automation not only ensures optimal energy efficiency but also enhances operational convenience. The RTM’s design further extends its capabilities by offering dedicated inputs and outputs, enabling it to integrate with additional sensors such as luxmeters, motion detectors, switches, or external photocells, thereby enhancing the intelligence of the entire lighting ecosystem.
Communication is a core strength of the RTM node. It interacts seamlessly with Dimonoff Gateways and the management platforms Dimonoff | SCMS and DOO Express, ensuring smooth system-wide integration. The RTM offers flexible communication options with Digi XBee PRO radios available in 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz DigiMesh formats, providing reliable long-range, low-latency, self-forming, and self-healing mesh networking. These technologies allow the deployment of tens of thousands of nodes across vast areas, whether dense urban districts or rural regions, with each node carrying a unique address. The system supports both individual node control and grouped management, providing unmatched scalability and versatility.
Installation and commissioning of the RTM are designed to be fast and simple. Its slim form factor ensures it fits easily within fixtures, while the Dimonoff mobile application streamlines setup, testing, and geolocation. Operating across a wide voltage range of 110–480 Vac at 50/60 Hz, the node is compatible with most types of 0–10V dimming drivers as well as the DALI digital lighting control protocol. Real-time monitoring provides precise energy consumption data, while automated alerts and reports help users quickly identify and address lighting issues, reducing maintenance costs and improving operational efficiency.
Security is built into the RTM from the ground up. Communications between nodes take place over a private radio network encrypted with the 128-bit AES protocol, with an option for even stronger AES 256-bit encryption when using the Digi XBee PRO radio. Each node carries a unique serialized address, ensuring traceability and secure identification within the network. Firmware upgrades can be performed over-the-air, simplifying ongoing management and ensuring the system remains up to date.
For decorative and architectural applications, the RTM also supports RGBW color control. With options for integration via Color Kinetics™ (CK) or DMX using an expansion board and driver, the node can bring vibrant colored lighting effects to bollards, bridges, building façades, and other urban design projects. This functionality allows designers to create dynamic and engaging lighting schemes for both indoor and outdoor installations while maintaining centralized control through Dimonoff platforms.
By combining compact design, real-time monitoring, advanced dimming compatibility, secure communication, and large-scale networking capabilities, the RTM smart wireless lighting node represents a robust solution for modern smart lighting infrastructure. Its adaptability makes it a powerful tool for municipalities, businesses, and organizations seeking to enhance efficiency, reduce energy consumption, improve safety, and unlock new creative possibilities in architectural and decorative lighting.
