DALI+ provides DALI lighting control plus wireless and IP-based networking

DALI+ devices communicate using existing DALI commands, but these are carried over a wireless and/or IP-based medium rather than the dedicated pair of wires used by DALI-2 and D4i.

DALI+ builds on the proven and sophisticated DALI lighting-control features in wired (DALI-2 and D4i) options, and offers access to the same rich set of data from control gear, luminaires and sensors.

The first certification program for interoperable DALI+ devices will utilize Thread's low-power, IP-based, wireless-mesh networking protocol.
