Smart streetlight controller (with dimming & Current consumption sensing) for use with 0-10 PWM LED drivers.

Smart Streetlight Controller with PWM (0–10V) Dimmer — LoRaWAN

The LUCI-OFDC-PWM10-LW is a wireless smart streetlight controller with PWM (0–10V) dimming output. It controls and monitors street lights remotely over LoRaWAN — schedule-based on/off, adaptive dimming by time of night, and real-time status reporting to a central dashboard.

Key Capabilities

• Remote on/off control — switch individual lights or groups from a central dashboard
• Schedule-based dimming — configure dim levels by time of night (e.g., 100% at dusk, 50% after midnight, 100% before dawn)
• Autonomous schedule operation — runs saved schedules even without connectivity; no light left on or off due to network outage
• Dimming output: PWM (0–10V) — compatible with PWM (0–10V) LED drivers
• Current sensor: Built-in — monitors actual lamp current consumption to detect lamp failures, theft, and unauthorized connections
• Radio: LoRaWAN (connects to LoRaWAN infrastructure — TTN, Helium, or private LoRaWAN server)

Use Cases

• Municipal street lighting — remote monitoring and control across an entire city or zone
• Industrial campuses — perimeter and road lighting managed from a central control room
• Highways and expressways — adaptive dimming reduces energy use during low-traffic hours
• Ports and logistics parks — scheduled lighting control across large outdoor areas
• Lamp failure detection — current sensor flags lamps that have burned out or been tampered with, without a site visit

Energy Savings

Adaptive dimming alone typically delivers 30–50% energy savings on street lighting compared to fixed-brightness operation. Schedule-based control eliminates accidental all-night burning and allows fine-grained dimming profiles for each zone.

Key Specifications

• Dimming type: PWM (0–10V)
• Radio: LoRaWAN
• Schedule storage: On-device — operates autonomously without network
• Current sensor: Built-in — monitors actual lamp current consumption to detect lamp failures, theft, and unauthorized connections
