ARISTA Delivers with Contractor-Friendly Bluetooth® Mesh Wireless Technology

With so many smart lighting control options, it's understandable why contractors are often left scratching their heads when deciding which technology to choose for their next project. While familiar communication protocols like Z-Wave, Thread and ZigBee are functional, they tend to require additional steps during setup, which can be a headache for installers. Other smart controls that connect via a standard Wi-Fi network run the risk of unexpected resets and performance issues when local area networks fail.

The ARISTA® Advanced Lighting Control System by Intermatic helps solve these challenges through a contractor-friendly communication protocol known as Bluetooth® 5.0 mesh wireless technology. Bluetooth® mesh networking allows for easy installation and simplifies setup for contractors of all technology backgrounds.

Advantages of Bluetooth® 5.0 Mesh Wireless Technology

Bluetooth® 5.0 mesh is a secure communication protocol designed specifically for industrial and commercial applications. Every device transmission is protected by three 128-bit encrypted security keys, with each device using a wireless node to send, receive and share commands across the network. This means multiple lighting controls can work across a large area to seamlessly communicate information, such as ON/OFF schedules, daylight levels and presence detection.

The communication protocol allows installers to quickly connect to multiple smart lighting controls and configure settings via a mobile app without connecting to a Wi-Fi network. This helps streamline installations in new commercial construction projects without collecting sensitive login credentials from clients. It also lets building owners easily add or remove individual ARISTA devices as needs evolve.

Why Choose ARISTA® and Bluetooth® 5.0 Mesh Technology?

By combing Bluetooth® 5.0 mesh technology with the versatility of ARISTA sensors, room controllers and dimmers, installers can support a wide range of commercial projects with a single solution.

Better still, the intuitive ARISTA app keeps setup and configuration simple. Contractors aren't required to set up a dedicated smart hub or gateway – they can simply power up their ARISTA devices, locate them on their smartphone or tablet, and go.
