The RME-H3 wireless external node is a complete, scalable lighting control solution designed for municipalities, commercial properties, car dealerships, parks, and many other environments where advanced, centralized lighting management is needed. Built for both small and large networks, it supports groups, zones, adaptive lighting, planning features, and other state-of-the-art functionalities that make it one of the most advanced devices in its class. It is compact, long-lasting, and equipped with secure, efficient firmware, while also delivering long-range wireless communication and powerful monitoring features.
This versatile device connects directly to any luminaire equipped with a photocell receptacle. While optimized for LED fixtures, it also maintains compatibility with other technologies such as High Pressure Sodium (HPS), Metal Halide (MH), and Mercury Vapor (MV). Once installed, the RME-H3 enables remote control of light intensity, monitoring of proper operation, and seamless integration into broader lighting networks. When several nodes are activated across multiple luminaires, they automatically create a wireless mesh network that can extend connectivity to other sensors and smart devices. All of this is managed through the Dimonoff | SCMS central software system, which collects real-time data, enables remote commands, and ensures smooth interaction with gateways.
Installation and commissioning are designed to be quick, simple, and cost-effective. Crews can rely on a dedicated mobile app to perform instant functional tests, access geolocation features, and complete commissioning in the field with minimal effort. The node operates with a wide input voltage range from 110 to 480 Vac at 50/60 Hz, and is compatible with ANSI C136.41 7-pin or Zhaga Book 18 receptacles, both of which include an internal photocell. It also supports digital and analog sensors such as motion detectors for adaptive or advanced lighting control.
The RME-H3 provides multiple communication options to fit a city or project’s infrastructure needs. Supported technologies include Digi XBee PRO 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz using DigiMesh protocols, LTE-M, Honeywell/Elster Energy Axis EA900 and SynergyNet, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, and optional GPS modules. This flexibility ensures that municipalities and organizations can select the optimal communication standard for their specific network requirements.
One of its strongest advantages is its ability to monitor precise luminaire power consumption and provide complete utility-grade energy metering. This allows municipalities and businesses to pay only for the energy they use, while gaining valuable insights into system performance. The device can detect outages, grid failures, or fixture anomalies before they escalate, streamlining maintenance operations and reducing downtime. Thanks to encrypted communication with military-grade AES 128-bit and 256-bit protocols, all transmitted data remains secure.
The RME-H3 also integrates features that simplify operations and maximize efficiency. Automated calibration ensures accurate energy measurement, while asset management tools give cities and organizations precise visibility into the exact number and location of connected fixtures. With real-time monitoring, utility-grade alarms, and predictive anomaly detection, maintenance crews can be dispatched efficiently with the right resources, optimizing both time and cost.
From a technical perspective, the RME-H3 includes compact, addressable modules capable of advanced wireless control, metering, and monitoring for each fixture. It supports adaptable 0-10V output compatible with all dimming drivers, DALI standard IEC 62386:2014 with optional BUS power supply, and incorporates a high-capacity, long-life relay. It consumes less than 1W, aligning with energy savings goals, while supporting ANSI C136-41 (2014) standards with 5- or 7-pin twist-lock connectors, as well as Zhaga Book 18 options and ANSI C137.4-2018. Its long-range communication capabilities, coupled with its robust firmware and over-the-air upgradability, ensure future-proof system performance.
All communications between nodes occur on a private radio network, providing reliability and security. Each node has a unique serialized address, ensuring accurate system integration and traceability. The RME-H3 is not only a lighting controller, but also an intelligent node that delivers optimized energy use, reduces maintenance burdens, enhances safety through encrypted communication, and extends the lifecycle of urban and commercial lighting infrastructures.
