The Internet of Things (IoT) is quickly becoming mainstream and building owners and operators are looking for intuitive, intelligent solutions that not only provide the light control they need now, but are also future-proofed for the smart building applications they will need later.
SmartCast Intelligence Platform™
Cree Lighting has the answer with its SmartCast Intelligence Platform™, on display at LIGHTFAIR International 2019, booth #2119 in Philadelphia.
The SmartCast Intelligence Platform™ offers the ideal integrated lighting control solution for indoor, industrial and outdoor applications with SmartCast® Wireless, SmartCast® Power over Ethernet and Synapse® SimplySNAP™ enabled luminaires.

Cadiant™ Dynamic Skylight
The most impressive use of SmartCast® Technology at LIGHTFAIR International can be seen with the Cadiant™ dynamic skylight, a ground-breaking lighting experience that uses advanced lighting controls in combination with multi-dimensional LED panels and color-changing technology to simulate the natural dawn to dusk, east-to-west arc of the sun. This provides a valuable sensory connection to the outdoors for people working in spaces without access to natural daylight.
SmartCast® Touchscreen Control
Cree Lighting is unveiling its new SmartCast® Touchscreen Control at LIGHTFAIR International. It is the first device of its kind utilizing the SmartCast® API to seamlessly integrate luminaires and software across the entire SmartCast® ecosystem, bringing breakthrough experiences like the Cadiant™ dynamic skylight to life. Designed for superior user experience, the interface is easy to use with clean graphics and highly intuitive control.
SmartCast® API and Losant Integration
To further illustrate the power of the SmartCast® API, Cree Lighting will be demonstrating new intelligent light applications with one of its software development partners, Losant. By utilizing the SmartCast® API, Losant can leverage rich data and IoT experience with an application enablement platform that allows enterprises to effectively and easily build applications.
“Losant is excited about our partnership with Cree Lighting,” said Craig Baldwin, partnership director at Losant. “The Losant Enterprise IoT platform extends the functionalities of the Smartcast® API and their line of products. We believe this new set of capabilities will be a game-changer for present and future Cree SmartCast® customers.”
