Launched earlier this year by technology innovator CSR plc the disruptive CSRmesh solution is the first dynamic mesh protocol for Bluetooth Smart, also known as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). It allows for an almost unlimited number of Bluetooth Smart devices, such as the SmartDimmer, to be instantly networked together and controlled directly from a single smartphone, tablet or PC for the first time.

The SmartDimmer is a light switch replacement that offers advanced control of home and office lighting, including control from iOS and Android smartphones. The CSRmesh protocol uses Bluetooth Smart to send light control messages to other SmartDimmers in the house, which in turn send them onward, to other switches, thereby extending the control range practically without limits. This means consumers can control lighting across a large home, estate, or office complex without using any external network or control infrastructure, such as wireless networks, routers or controllers.

SmartDimmer users can control all their lighting from an intuitive smartphone app, which allows users to group lights, set lighting intensity, and automate changes, based on time of day and user/smartphone proximity. In turn the CSRmesh sends status messages, such as power consumption of each individual device to a controller or data logger anywhere in the mesh.

By incorporating CSRmesh the built-in intelligence features of the SmartDimmer, such as proximity sensors, and multi-switch lighting settings can be initiated and extended quickly and seamlessly across a private home or business network from a single command or message. The CSRmesh also incorporates high security and encrypted communication, to ensure all network signalling remains secure.

"Unlike other solutions CSRmesh brings much needed direct control to centralize the configuration and control of the myriad of Smart Home devices, without the inconvenience of having to use a hub or home router," said Rick Walker, Marketing Manager for the Internet-of-Things at CSR. "We are pleased that Wireless Cables Inc. is implementing CSRmesh into its current AIRcable SmartDimmer products and also in its forthcoming next generation of SmartDimmer Wave™ products to deliver smart lighting solutions to consumers that 'just work'."
