Great and clear presentation thanks! What is the slimplest and most cost effective setup to get a relay function? For instance, turning on or off an existing plug (or any electrical device that might need more than 150W)?
Thanks! The most basic option is a 230VAC relay attached to a CBU-ASD. But there are now many different types of relays made by Casambi's partners. You can see the various devices here: casambi.com/ecosystem/ Just search through the text for 'relay' and you'll find them. ...cost-effectiveness is a completely different matter, though ;)
thanks for the such great presentation...i just need some information about...i have Casambi ASD Blutooth, Casambi wirleless wall switch, LED Module and sensor...what do i need more to complet my installation....thanks
hello, cool product and video, what would you recommend to control 2 ballast 320w meanwell 0-10v independently , I take it you would need 2 casambi? 150w limit does not apply since I would control them by 0-10v? sorry I'm a bit lost about this Casambi CBU-ASD
Hi! You're right, the wattage of the LED driver is irrelevant as the Casambi device is just controlling it. You could use two Casambi devices if you like, but you could also use a single CBU-A2D (AC powered) or a CBU-ASR (12-24VDC powered). Both allow 2ch 0-10V control. It really boils down to how you'd like to control them. If you would like separate icons for each LED driver in the Casambi app, then go with two Casambi devices. If you're ok with both 0-10V channels appearing under the same icon then just use a single device. You could always start with a single device anyway and buy a second if you feel you might get more flexibility that way.
Re: CBU-PWM4+PSU vs CBU-ASD Dali controller +DALI Driver. For driving LED strips (just warm white dimmable) where up to 4 runs are co-located like in a kitchen cabinet, could I use the PWM4 (x1) as opposed to the more expensive option of DALI driver +ASD (x4)? What are the pros/cons? Should I assume that for 12v Strips the PSU input to PWM4 would be 12 volts? Also are the 4 channels shown in Cassambi App as 4 separate luminaires?
From my experience, people tend to use DALI drivers for larger LED lights rather than LED strip. For LED strip, a PWM4 is probably the cheaper option. Yes, the PWM4 PSU voltage will need to match the LED strip’s voltage and you also need to make sure that the PSU will offer enough amps for the lengths of LED strip(s) you’ll use. Yes, you can use four strips with a single PMW4 but, again, make sure your PSU can cope. A single PMW4 device will be visible in the Casambi app but you can adjust each of the four channels individually.
Apologies! This one seemed to have slipped through the net and I only just noticed it now as I'm about to make new videos. In short, yes, it non-voltage, just a closed-contact.
The CBU-TED can't be used for on/off switching because of the dimming curve. Instead use something like a REL-240 from Liga Air. That'll do the job and they also have a very small form-factor. Alternatively, add a 230VAC relay to a CBU-ASD. That'll do exactly the same job.
@@CasamBee Thanks for your prompt reply as I need to order a device asap. What about if the default dimmer range is set to 100% - meaning full on? Thanks. (I also have a spare TED so could try)
@@marktime61 I wouldn't risk it... Even if you could alter the dimming curve of the TED to go from 0 - 100% as quickly as possible, there's still that 'ramp up' to 100% and ramp down to 0% (even if it's a really short time). Much safer to go with a true relay. The TED designer once told me that it's the fade-down from 100 to 0 which is problematic if trying to use a TED to switch 230VAC (rather than the fade from 0 to 100, as most people would suspect).
@@CasamBee Apologies but another related question. I have used EnOcean switches successfully for on/off dimmer etc and there are many modes/function under the Casambi App as to the action taken by these Switches. I wondered if you know which type/mode would best replicate a push to make switch as the bathroom fan scenario would normally take power (via light switch or spring back switch) and then after power removed the fan would continue on a timer/timeout within the fan. An ordinary Sw function would be in the wrong state after the timeout. Perhaps an EnOcean Sw mode or a Casambi App timer could work?…. Thanks again
It depends on what type of light(s) you want to control. But, in general, it's one device per light load. Feel free ask ask as many questions as you like via TH-cam. I will reply - even if it takes a few days.
@@MartininitraM sorry, I meant to write 'unpair' your device. If, after you've unpaired your device from the network, you still can not see a CHANGE PROFILE option when selecting the device from within NEARBY DEVICES, it means you can not change the profile for that device.
None of the Casambi devices can control Philips Hue devices (because Hue bulbs can not communicate via Bluetooth). You can only use the Casambi app to control Hue bulbs - and it's very restricted. You can only control Hue bulbs manually using the Luminaires page within the app. Switches, sensors and timers cannot be used because the Hue bulb can only communicate via Wi-Fi.
@@alanepsztein2333 If you specifically want to buy Casambi-enabled E27 bulbs (rather than use the CBU-TED to dim bulbs), then you only have two choices: Carus or Ropag. Some Carus bulbs can still be bought although they no longer manufacture them, but Ropag bulbs are new. Both manufacturers offer tuneable white bulbs, but the Ropag bulb has a larger colour temperature range. Note that both bulbs are only available in E27 fittings.

Thank you for being one step ahead of Casambi by providing us with an introduction of their products. Great work
Thanks! I'm hoping to make the next video at the weekend. It'll be about switch pairing and configuration.
Sorry for responding so late but i am using only LED modul so I got it and thank you very much for the help...

All you need to do now is install the Casambi app. Then create a network, pair the devices and configure them as you want.
You mentioned extern relay do I need that or
@@MrHazaraak47 only if you intend to control a 1-10V controlled LED driver.
excelente contenido, muchas gracias
Nice video. Thank you

Is the ASD in Relay mode dry contact? No voltage for say momentary closing contacts for gates?
Apologies! This one seemed to have slipped through the net and I only just noticed it now as I'm about to make new videos. In short, yes, it non-voltage, just a closed-contact.
Can I use a CBU-TED as a basic Switch (without dimming)? Or is there another Casambi solution/product available? I need for a fan in a bathroom tks

Kenapa barang ini sangat ringkih,kena short saja langsung mati casambinya ,output tidak keluar power
Can I use one casambi module for controlling multi light??
Casam 🐝 how can I contact with you??
It depends on what type of light(s) you want to control. But, in general, it's one device per light load.
Feel free ask ask as many questions as you like via TH-cam. I will reply - even if it takes a few days.
How do you change the dimming curve of the trailing edge dimmer CBU-TED from linear to exponential? I am not able to find the option in the software.
You have to first pair the device from your network. Then select the device from with Nearby Devices and select Change Profile.
Casam Bee It is the change profile I am not able to figure out. I do not find this option when I go to near by units and find the CBU-TED in the list.
