Dynamic human centric lighting
with DALI colour control

The DALI Gateway Colour allows for the rapid implementation of complex Human Centric Lighting (HCL) applications. Using the Human Interface developed specifically for coloured light control, pre-configured scenes for dynamic daylight variations can be selected in ETS6/ETS5. The gateway automatically ensures the correct output of DALI Colour Control values to the connected lights. This makes it effortless to create elaborate dynamic lighting scenes that can be adjusted to changing customer requirements. Additionally, HCL curves can be modified on-the-fly through KNX.

The gateway utilizes DALI Colour Control "DT8(Tc)" for HCL applications, enabling precise control of white light colours along the black-body curve. When combined with high-quality DALI luminaires, this guarantees lighting of exceptional quality that can be adapted in colour temperature.

Coloured light

With support for DALI Colour Control DT8(RGB), the gateway controls colour-adjustable lights in the same straightforward manner as dynamic white light. In the ETS6/ETS5 interface, individual light colours can be easily assigned for different times of the day.

Up to 128 luminaires
individually controllable

The DALI Gateway Colour is available with one or two DALI outputs. Each output can operate the maximum number of participants defined in the DALI protocol, which is 64 devices. Consequently, up to 128 DALI luminaires can be individually controlled.

Secure communication thanks to
KNX data secure stack

To meet the increasing demands for security against hacking attacks, Insta developed the first manufacturer independent KNX Data Secure stack in 2020. This stack is also used in the DALI Gateway Colour. The devices are equipped with a device certificate in the form of a QR code. Using this code, the installer can commission the devices via the ETS using KNX Data Secure. By implementing KNX Data Secure and monitoring the relevant development steps by our Cyber-Security Officer, we can provide our customers with a highly secure product.
