Illuminate Smarter — Xicato Smart Lighting Systems

In an era where intelligence and efficiency inform every design decision, Xicato’s Smart Lighting System represents a perfect fusion of premium lighting quality and cutting-edge control innovation.

1. Integrated Intelligence: The XIM & Xicato Onboard™

At the core of Xicato’s smart ecosystem lies the Xicato Intelligent Module (XIM)—a compact LED light engine with an integrated driver, sensors, Bluetooth mesh capability, and a microprocessor. This all-in-one design delivers exceptionally deep, flicker-free dimming down to 0.1%, while ensuring smooth transitions and precise light control. It also self-monitors temperature and operational data for enhanced reliability.

Fully encompassed within the Xicato Onboard™ family, the XIM and its companion drivers—like the XID and XMD—bring smart control compatibility to virtually any luminaire design. This means that Bluetooth mesh-enabled control can be retrofitted into third-party fixtures as easily as selecting a module.

2. Robust, Scalable Bluetooth Mesh Network

Xicato’s system is built on the enterprise-grade Bluetooth Mesh platform—coordinated yet decentralized, scalable and secure:

• Supports tens of thousands of nodes per network, with virtually no risk of a single point of failure.
  
• Reduces commissioning times to hours or days—no need for messy wiring, central hubs, or disruption to the space.
  
• Enables advanced features: dynamic scenes, group programming, scheduling, occupancy and daylight automation.
  

3. Intelligent Sensors & Infrastructure: XIS, XRN, XSW & More

Xicato layers even more intelligence into their network with:

• XIS (Intelligent Sensors): 5‑in‑1 nodes that detect motion, ambient light (lux), temperature, humidity, and vibration—all without additional hardware—and communicate directly with XIM/XID-controlled lights.
  
• XRN (Relay Nodes): Extend network coverage in challenging environments, such as large warehouses, ensuring reliable message delivery across vast areas.
  
• XSW (Switch Modules): Bluetooth switches that integrate manual controls into the mesh network—for ground‑level override or local commands.

4. Control Software & Open Integration

Managing such a dynamic lighting system is made intuitive through Xicato’s control platforms:

• Control Panel: Desktop app (Windows/Mac) for provisioning, grouping, scene creation, scheduling, sensor configuration, and real-time monitoring.
  
• XTouch (Android) and XIMtroller (iOS): Mobile apps turning phones and tablets into fully programmable lighting controls with customizable UIs. XTouch is open-source (MIT license), empowering developers to adapt it freely.
  
• XIG (Intelligent Gateway): Provides browser access and an open HTTP API for network control, data access, and integration with building management systems.
  

5. Real-World Case Studies: Smarter Lighting in Action

Grand Sud Logistique (France)

At a large logistics park, nearly 1,000 Bluetooth-controlled luminaires, 328 XIS sensors, and 143 relay nodes delivered responsive automation—adjusting lighting by occupancy and daylight levels. The system operated efficiently over 5,000 m² warehouses, reducing energy use while preserving environmental priorities.

Gran Melia Hotel (Jakarta)

Faced with architectural constraints and legacy infrastructure, Xicato’s BLE mesh system—featuring XID drivers, XIG gateway, and third-party modules—enabled dynamic scene control and integration with existing panel systems. The solution provided elegance and adaptability without costly rewiring.

6. Why Xicato Smart Lighting Works

In summary, Xicato’s Smart Lighting System isn’t just about premium illumination—it’s a thoughtfully integrated smart solution. With intelligent LED engines, scalable wireless networks, intuitive software, and real-world flexibility, Xicato has redefined what responsive, high-quality lighting can be.
