RoomLighting2

RoomLighting2 is a software platform for intelligent room lighting management, designed to control and automate lighting in homes, offices, and hospitality settings. It serves as the successor to RoomLighting1, offering improved automation, interoperability, and analytics while maintaining a focus on user-friendly operation.

The system comprises edge devices such as smart bulbs and dimmers, a local room controller, and optional cloud services. It supports dynamic scenes, daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, tunable white temperatures from warm to cool, and color rendering options. It can orchestrate lighting across zones and respond to user inputs, time schedules, and ambient conditions to maintain consistent mood and task lighting.

RoomLighting2 emphasizes interoperability. It supports common home automation protocols and standards, including MQTT, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, and adaptable APIs for third-party applications. It can integrate with voice assistants and smart home ecosystems, enabling centralized control via mobile apps, wall panels, or automation routines.

Development and reception: Developed by LuminaWorks, RoomLighting2 was released in 2022 as an evolution of its predecessor. It adds AI-assisted scene generation, energy analytics, and more granular control. Users report energy savings and convenience, while some raise concerns about data privacy and cloud dependency.

Availability and use: It is available for iOS and Android mobile apps and via web interface on supported devices. It is used in residences, offices, and hospitality environments to balance comfort, aesthetics, and efficiency.
