Smart lighting

Smart lighting.
For the luminaires you already have.

Building Robotics Europe provides smart lighting for non-residential buildings: sensors, app-based lighting management and monitoring – retrofitted to your existing LED luminaires with 0-10 V or DALI drivers. Survey, installation and commissioning from one source.

EFS106 high-bay sensor for retrofitting high-bay luminaires

Definition

What is smart lighting?

Smart lighting is lighting that knows when and how much light is needed. Sensors on or in the luminaires report whether anyone is in the area and how much daylight is available. The luminaires then dim, switch off or hold a background level automatically – and every setting can be changed and analysed in an app.

The difference to a simple motion detector: smart lighting does not just switch on and off – it dims smoothly, works in zones and delivers data. That is exactly what Article 13 of the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and, in Germany, Section 56 GModG require for larger non-residential buildings – see Lighting and the EPBD.

Lighting management in an app

Your lighting.
In the app.

Each luminaire is set up with the Keilton+autani app: add the sensor, assign it to a group, define background light, hold time and daylight level. Later changes – for example when a tenant moves – take minutes.

All zones come together in the AU-Manager: schedules and settings on the floor plan, occupancy and burn hours per area, remote access via the Autani portal and, if required, data to the building management system via BACnet/IP.

  • Groups, scenes and background light in an app
  • Schedules and analysis on the floor plan
  • Remote access and data for energy reports

The difference

New lighting system or retrofit?

All new

Replace luminaires

  • ✕Working LED luminaires are scrapped
  • ✕High material and installation costs
  • ✕Often new wiring and long downtime
  • ✕Lighting control still needs separate planning

      FAQ

      Frequently asked questions about smart lighting

      Who provides smart lighting for non-residential buildings in Germany?

      Building Robotics Europe, based in Leipzig, designs, supplies, installs and operates smart lighting for offices, warehouses, retail and public buildings across Germany – with Keilton+autani sensors and lighting management and monitoring in the AU-Manager. Our focus is retrofitting existing LED luminaires.

      Can I make my existing luminaires smart?

      Yes, if the LED driver is dimmable with a 0-10 V or DALI interface. If it also has a 12 V auxiliary output, the sensor sits directly on the luminaire. If high-bay luminaires lack it, we use the EFS104 with its own power supply. We check this in advance from the driver datasheets – see Retrofit.

      What does the EPBD require for lighting?

      Article 13 of the EPBD (Directive (EU) 2024/1275) requires non-residential buildings above the threshold to be equipped with building automation and automatic lighting control with zoning and occupancy detection. It becomes binding through national law – in Germany through Section 56 GModG, with a deadline of 31 December 2029. Details in Lighting and the EPBD. General information, not legal advice.

      How much does smart lighting save?

      As a guide from our projects: where LED is already installed, sensors alone typically save more than 60 % of lighting electricity; combined with an LED upgrade up to 90 %. Estimate your figures in the savings calculator.

      Do I need a building management system?

      No. The sensors work autonomously in their groups, are set up in an app and analysed in the AU-Manager. If a BMS exists, data can be passed on via BACnet/IP.
