The LumiFi Controller is a piece of hardware exclusively for use with the LumiFi Pro version, which acts as a central local server, which is responsible for communications between the different system components. It does this by executing the central control logic for the mobile and web applications and distributing lighting control commands as well as providing feedback for monitoring to the applications and adding reliability. It must be included as part of the local network.
Each LumiFi PRO Controller needs to be purchased in conjunction with the LumiFi PRO software license and can support up to 15 profiles.
It incorporated both wireless 802.11 and Bluetooth capabilities and has to be physically connected to the local network. It also provides cross checks and validations, increasing reliability, monitoring, analytics and troubleshooting capabilities. It comes with US power plug and can be easily converted with a local plug adapter.
