RENO Smart: Networked Lighting Controls System

RENO SMART: Networked Lighting Controls System

May 1, 2025

One App, Full Control

RENO Smart provides wireless networked lighting control without the pain and additional expenses or wiring and complicated gateways. Discover how RENO Smart is the smart way to provide centralized management and automation of luminaires for enhanced energy efficiency


Networked Lighting Controls System

The RENO Smart Networked Lighting Controls System (NLC) is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) MESH solution that enables remote control and addressability of individual luminaires and control devices via the RENO Smart app, while grouping them into zones and enabling the programming of multiple control strategies throughout various areas of a location. With RENO Smart, the user controls the entire lighting system from any point in the network.

  • Luminaires
  • Rooms
  • Floors / Zones
  • Buildings

How It Works

RENO Smart enables all devices to be networked via a BLE mesh, allowing each to send and relay messages to its neighbours, becoming a “mesh” of communication.

Step 1.

Plug in RENO Smart Sensors into every luminaire you need to control.

Step 2.

Use RENO Smart App to prepare control for the devices and set all the necessary parameters:

  • Setup control groups and zones for similarly controlled luminaires.
  • Program the Lighting Strategies required for each zone.

Step 3. (Optional)

Optionally, choose to install Smart Wall Switch for offices or individual room applications. Add a Smart Gateway for advanced features including remote/energy consumption and data monitoring.


The Lighting Strategy Is in Your Hands

The RENO Smart app gives Building Operators a wide range of Lighting Strategies to optimize energy usage, including Scenes, Occupancy/Vacancy, Daylight Harvesting, High/Low-End Trim, Photocell Controls, and Schedules.

  • Zones: Create Floors and then Zones to control multiple luminaires defined in each Zone.
  • Groups: Group up devices that share the same settings to quickly configure similar spaces.
  • Scenes: Preset light levels to make each space better suited for different activities.
  • Occupancy: Senses occupancy to adjust light up and adjusts light down when vacant.
  • Daylight Harvesting: Adjust lights up or down depending on the available natural light of the area.
  • High/ Low End Trim: Define the maximum or lowest light output of each luminaire.
  • Photocells: Control lights based on outdoor lux levels and set the brightness when turned on.
  • Schedules: Set luminaires to adjust based on the specific time of day.

Smart Ready

RENO luminaires are engineered with a built-in 3.5 mm jack interface or quick connector (Troffers), making them a simple plug-and-play solution that instantly works with the RENO Smart NLC System.


The Smarter Way to Control Light

  • Smarter Energy Savings: Replacing traditional lighting technology with LED already provides a 50% energy savings. Adding RENO Smart provides an additional 30% in consumption savings, helping buildings to further optimize lighting to match the task at hand in every zone.
  • No Wires Required: As a wireless lighting controls system, it is easy to setup and deploy, ensuring minimal disruption to the building’s operations.
  • Easy Commission & Control: Plug-and-play sensors controlled by any iOS or Android device makes it the simplest way to control lighting.
  • Ready to Scale: Start with a room and grow to control a complete building! Add more devices as the building’s needs, and easily re-program zones if a space or layout changes.
  • Reliable Technology: Operating using Bluetooth, RENO Smart does not experience the limitations of communication protocols such as Zigbee or Wi-Fi, and is not at risk of one single point of failure.
