MyMesh is a unique network protocol that was specifically engineered to be safe, robust and scalable, making it perfect for the professional domain. It offers a wide variety of possibilities to connect, manage and control thousands of devices simultaneously.
As lighting is present in almost every area of a building, by incorporating Mymesh into luminaires within a building it provides a wireless mesh backbone for not only the lighting control system, but also for other sensors and actuators including air quality, CO2, humidity, temperature, presence, light and noise.
The Mymesh backbone can also facilitate features within the building such as asset tracking, people tracking and real time vital statistics including pulse and body temperature.
SCC incorporate Mymesh technology into a large range of our luminaires to enable us to design robust lighting controls systems and addressable emergency lighting systems. Once commissioned as a lighting control system, Mymesh can work independently or can be connected securely via a gateway device to the Mymesh Management System, MMS for short.
MMS is a powerful dashboard that allows the user easily check, monitor, analyse and control their lighting network’s data at all times. It functions as a portal to manage your building data in the easiest and most effective way possible.
Luminaires and controls can be grouped during commissioning, the devices do not need to be on the same electrical circuit as all of the control is done intelligently via the wireless interface, programmed via the commissioning tool, making the system a very dynamic and versatile solution.
Various Scenes can be created within each network, allowing different lighting situations for different occasions to be created. It is possible to control multiple luminaires to create the perfect ambience for different occasions and needs. Scenes can be controlled by Sensors and timers to allow the lighting to behave in the desired manner at different times of day and occupancy levels.
MyMesh has the facility to interface with other systems within the building such as the fire alarm and intruder alarm. When the fire is activated the network can be programmed to switch on all luminaires to allow the safe evacuation of the building. The intruder alarm interface can be set to switch off all lighting in the building when armed, if the intruder alarm is triggered it can be programmed to switch on all of the luminaires in the building to help deter intruders.
The MyMesh system allows tuneable white luminaires to be programmed to change colour temperature and intensity depending on the situation. Profiles can be set that mean the luminaire automatically follow a curve simulating the colour temperatures and intensities of natural daylight. Switches can also be incorporated to allow the user to set scenes locally.
The MMS dashboard allows the user to monitor energy and usage of the lighting in the building as a whole with the ability to also show each area individually, this gives the user as little or as much information that they require to make judgements about the usage and any changes that could be made to their building.
The MMS dashboard, email report service and push notifications provide an automated emergency lighting system that performs and record all of the emergency lighting test results in accordance with BS 5266. If maintained, this always provides the building’s owners and users with a compliant emergency lighting system. An automated email of the test results is sent out on a monthly basis and if there are any faults on the emergency lighting system push notifications are sent out to notify the relevant person(s) of the fault so that it can be rectified immediately.
The MMS dashboard provides two way communication, information can be taken out of the system to determine the expected lifespan of its components based on the component manufacturers specifications. This enable proactive and planned maintenance to be carried out which ensures that the lighting system is always at its most efficient and compliant with the original design. Any faults are also reported via the push notifications so that reactive maintenance can also be carried out and faults rectified immediately.
The SCC MyMesh system provides an adaptive technology, with MyMesh the capabilities of your smart building grow with the changing demand of its occupants and technological advancements of the outside world. A Solarcrown MyMesh lighting system ensures that your smart building is adaptive for the future.
