Any facility.
Complete intelligence.
How it works
How your lighting connects and responds
Connect into your current lighting system
Bring the lighting system you already run under one control and scheduling layer, using open protocols and APIs above the existing LMS.
Control scenes, schedules, and overrides
Apply manual overrides, business-hours schedules, and scene presets on top of your existing system, while the LMS keeps fixture control.
Lighting solutions
Connected to your entire facility ecosystem
Connects to your existing lighting system and Apptimus platform’s native capabilities, making lighting operations part of your complete facility intelligence.
Key Benefits
What connected lighting delivers
Your facility already runs lighting. Apptimus adds a control, scheduling, analytics, and insights layer above it, giving teams unified overrides, provable savings, and occupancy insights across the facility.
Lighting control over existing systems
Keep the lighting your facility already runs. Apptimus adds one control and scheduling layer above it, so teams manage overrides, schedules, and zones from a shared operations view.
Occupancy data beyond lighting control
Occupancy data from rooms and sensors helps other workflows respond. HVAC setbacks, space plans, and energy reviews follow real use while your lighting system keeps controlling lights.
Energy savings your reports can prove
Track lighting power density by floor, zone, and time period. Compare baselines against actuals with analytics that make energy reviews and audit conversations easier to defend.
Lighting schedules match flexible work
Hybrid work changes occupancy week by week. Apptimus shows usage patterns and keeps lighting schedules easy to adjust, so operations teams tune floors without adding manual follow-up.
Occupancy insights for space planning
Every lit zone becomes a data point. Aggregate occupancy across floors to spot utilization trends, underused spaces, and align lighting and HVAC schedules to how teams work each week.
A smarter control layer for lighting teams
Scheduling and scenes sit in one vendor-agnostic layer above your LMS. Cross-system intelligence connects lighting data to your wider smart building controls.
Zone and fixture control
Override zones or fixtures from the dashboard. Pair dimming with schedules so each floor follows daily operating hours.
Scene and profile presets
Choose presentation or custom profiles by zone. Switch scenes from the dashboard or schedule without occupancy triggers.
Reserved-room control
The room booker controls lighting in Apptimus during the booking window while shared-room policy stays in place for all.
Schedule-based automation
Set time or calendar rules for zones and floors. Teams adjust lighting schedules after deployment as needs change.
Shade & lighting control
Coordinate shades with fixture output, then schedule daylight scenes by room or time so glare and lights stay balanced.
Cross-system intelligence
Occupancy data from lighting zones feeds HVAC schedules and booking context, while energy analytics use the same signal.

AI Assistant
AI-ready lighting that answers your questions
Every floor, every fixture, every schedule. Accessible through one question. On top of existing lighting, Apptimus becomes an AI-ready data and answers layer, connecting occupancy, booking, and live fixture data to deliver plain-language answers.
Instant answers on any zone
Ask which rooms are dark but booked, which floors are underused, or where a driver failed. Plain answers from live data.
Utilization + energy insights
Surface space-planning signals from lighting occupancy. Trend energy by zone, floor, or vendor. Patterns become planning.
Fault detection + diagnostics
Offline devices, driver failures, and dimming anomalies surface with context and next-action recommendations.
Now in early beta. We're inviting teams eager to explore pilot-stage facility intelligence.
Seconds
Ask about any aspect of LMS, any time period and get answers in seconds.
Holistic
Normalizes and shares accurate data across connected systems.
Value by Role
Value for every stakeholder
Lighting operations touch every role in your facility. The teams coordinating schedules across floors, the people tracking energy against baselines, and leaders balancing operational cost with comfort.
Lighting oversight layer
For your facilities team
Give facilities one control and scheduling view over the lighting they already run. Teams adjust schedules, scenes, overrides, and faults without jumping between tools.
Verified energy outcomes
For energy and compliance
Track lighting power density by floor and zone. Compare baselines against actuals with audit-ready reporting, so savings carry clear proof through review cycles.
Portfolio command layer
For operations leadership
Give leaders one portfolio view for lighting schedules, faults, and utilization across floors. Operations teams see priorities sooner and govern with clearer context.
Integrations
Lighting that works across systems
Wired Controls
Connect DALI-2 and fixtures through exclusive APIs and open protocol drivers into one layer.
Wireless Controls
Bluetooth Mesh and wireless RF lights join the platform without new cabling. Retrofit-ready.
BMS
Communicates with building controllers through BACnet and Modbus for centralized lighting data.
HVAC Control
Lighting and HVAC harmonize when occupancy from lighting zones trigger HVAC automations.
Desk Booking
Desk reservations pre-condition lighting zones before arrival. No bookings stay dimmed.
Meeting Room
Rooms illuminate before meetings begin, while scene presets match the room purpose.
Energy Management
Tracks lighting consumption by zone and floor. Reports savings against your facility baseline.
Digital Twin
Lighting status on interactive floor plans. Spot zones that are on, dimmed, or in fault state.
IAQ
Occupancy signals from lighting zones feed ventilation schedules, to trigger automations.
Shades
Shade position and fixture output coordinate for daylight harvesting for effortless automation.
Space Planning
Lighting occupancy feeds space planning. Right-size floors and plan real estate with truth.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a lighting control system?
A lighting control system manages how luminaires operate across a building. It coordinates dimming, scheduling, occupancy sensing, and daylight response from a central interface. Systems range from standalone wall switches to networked platforms governing thousands of fixtures.
What are the different types of lighting control systems?
Lighting control systems fall into four tiers. Standalone controls use wall switches and sensors. Networked systems connect devices through a central controller. Luminaire-level control embeds sensors in each fixture. Platform systems coordinate vendors and protocols under one layer.
What is the difference between DALI and BACnet lighting control?
DALI is a digital protocol for fixture-level control, addressing up to 64 devices per bus. BACnet is a building-wide protocol connecting subsystems like HVAC and lighting. DALI handles the fixture layer while BACnet integrates lighting into broader building operations.
How much energy do lighting controls save in commercial buildings?
Lighting controls reduce energy through occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting, and scheduling. The U.S. Department of Energy reports networked controls can cut lighting energy use by 40 to 60 percent versus fixed schedules. Savings vary by space type and occupancy patterns.
Is Apptimus a lighting management system (LMS)?
Apptimus is not a lighting management system. It is a control, scheduling, and insights layer on top of the LMS you already run, such as Lutron, Signify, Dynalite, Casambi, or Zen Control. Your LMS still operates the hardware while Apptimus adds operator control and visibility.
Does Apptimus control lights based on occupancy?
Apptimus does not switch or dim lights by occupancy. Your existing lighting system handles that. Apptimus adds manual overrides and scheduling, then puts occupancy data to work elsewhere, driving automations such as HVAC setback and space-planning insight.
