The DM2550ZB Smart Adaptive Phase Dimmer: a lighting control revolution
A smooth curve, two defined angles, and an iconic design: the appearance of the DM2550ZB Smart Adaptive Phase Dimmer is designed to reflect light attractively. Thus, despite its plain white colour, three different shades are created, which gives the device its personality. Moreover, its high-quality conception and signature LED light make it a valuable everyday ally.
From the outset, the DM2550ZB is the first of its kind to have phase selection (forward or reverse) done post-installation from an app, addressing a common challenge that installers of this type of product face. This way of modulating the phase greatly simplifies the installation process. It allows precise adjustment of lighting performance, whether it is dimmable LEDs, incandescent, halogen or compact fluorescent bulbs, and magnetic or electronic low voltage transformers (MLV and ELV).
Its reverse phase and MOSFET switching eliminate light flickering and sizzling noises. Both technologies improve the dimming range.
In addition, the DM2550ZB provides a wide variety of settings in the Neviweb application by Sinopé Technologies:
- The minimum light intensity calibration allows faster access to the desired light intensity.
- The ability to choose the colour and light intensity of the light-emitting diode (LED) on the dimmer when the light is turned on or off. This setting makes the adaptive phase dimmer a valuable and versatile ally as it becomes a comforting nightlight in children\’s bedrooms, a soft light that guides parents\’ steps at night or provides complete darkness for light sleepers. In addition, the colour selection offered allows the product to harmonize with the rooms’ colour. The LED on the dimmer has been Sinopé Technologies’ signature, as it has been integrated into the manufacturer’s light switches and dimmers for nearly a decade.
- The timer setting allows automatically turning off the lights after a more comprehensive selection of times, ranging from a few minutes to a few hours.
- The ability to enable or disable the manual control of the switch, thus positioning it as an ideal device for public or shared spaces.
Secondly, the DM2550ZB offers a myriad of smart features, saved locally for seamless operation all the time, without dependency on the computing cloud, representing an innovation from a technological point of view. The following features are available for the dimmer:
- Device automations allow the dimmer to be virtually linked to other lighting fixtures or smart devices within the location. Thus, a single or double click on the dimmer can trigger various actions, from activating several other switches to sending temperature setpoints to thermostats or activating smart electrical outlets.
Thanks to this smart feature, it can compensate for faulty electrical wiring by offering the ability to create a virtual 3-way.
- Time and sunrise/sunset automations allow lighting to be tied to a schedule or sunlight. Since these can be activated/deactivated and it is possible to create a wide variety of them, it is easy to change the programs according to the seasons, activities or lifestyle.
- Geofencing allows lights to be turned on or off based on presence.*
- Scenes allow activating lighting ambiance simply by tapping tiles in the app.*
- Compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice assistants allows you to turn on/off lights or trigger scenes through voice commands.*
- The smart adaptive phase dimmer allows the generation of energy consumption graphs related to lighting use. Hence, light consumption is shown in dollars and kilowatt-hours for 48 hours, 30 days and 24 months.
Moreover, the smart adaptive phase dimmer is part of Sinopé Technologies’ complete smart home ecosystem, which includes a wide variety of thermostats, smart outlets and other devices meant to optimize energy consumption in residential and multi-residential sectors.
* These features require a permanent Internet connection.
