Abstract
Smart lighting applications are designed to provide management and control of the whole interconnected system, ensuring reliability, cost saving and high efficiency. In this work is proposed a simple intelligent module to be connected in the street lighting system in order to simultaneously control and measure the lamp's parameters. All the data transmission procedure was developed based on the mesh network topology. By taking advantage of the communication structure used for the smart lighting system and coupling sensors to the module, it's possible to gather data regarding the power grid as well. Moreover, for experiments purposes, it was also developed a specific driver capable to communicate by DALI protocol in order to receive and send information from the smart module to the lamp. The results have proven the efficiency, flexibility and interoperability of the proposed smart device.
