Wireless technology for building and home automation from Carlo Gavazzi consists of a powerful bus generator, output modules, meter and dimmer. The SH2WBU230N has a range of 700 m. Each Sx2WEB24 can connect to up to seven master channel generators (the sum of SH2MCG24, SH2DUG24 and SH2WBU230N is seven) in order to have up to seven wired/wireless networks connected.

The wireless energy meter has direct current measurement up to 16 A and also transmits up to 700 m. It can handle single-phase variables such as A, V, W, Wdmd, VA, var, and PF — as well as measuring total kWh.

There is a universal wireless dimmer for lighting which can dim resistive, inductive and capacitive loads and LED for RLC lamps up to 200 W. The dimmer automatically detects if the load is resistive, capacitive or inductive.

All products use the company’s protocol WiDup, which is based on the standard IEEE 802.15.4 at 2.4 GHz and easily programmed using the free software tool.
