照明控制集，以推動智能建筑融合物聯網運動

　　商業大廈經理繼續受到監管和競爭壓力，以優化能源使用。盡管嵌入式數字化和自動化技術的普及，他們一直在努力整合不同的自動化系統。這樣的系統包括：照明，影音，暖通空調，安全，安全，電梯，通信，公用事業電表，自動售貨機，能源管理，水管理，廢物管理，數字標牌，停車-列表繼續。

　　然而，該行業目前正專注于物聯網和物聯網運動實現其目標。簡單的環境光，溫度和占用傳感器納入照明系統，例如，可以提供有用的數據，為高效運行的自動化安全和暖通空調應用。互聯網連接，方便數據共享、集中監控以及通過儀表板智能樓宇控制，在一系列的數字設備可見，固定式和便攜式。

　　This article will highlight two quite different solutions that meet this growing trend. Importantly， both support multiple protocols found in the smart building. The first is Echelon’s multiprotocol building automation platform， already being adopted by lighting systems installers taking the lighting-centric approach to IoT in buildings. Products under the spotlight include the Mini FX EVK LonWorks evaluation kit， featuring the FT5000 Smart Transceiver evaluation board， and the NodeBuilder FX Development tool.

　　The second approach， for lighting developers， comes in the form of Texas Instruments’ TIVA-C Series TM4C123x microcontrollers targeted at network appliances and switches， factory automation and automated building services systems. The device offers Ethernet and Wi-Fi support， connection to the cloud through partner， Exosite， and plenty of expansion opportunities for lighting and other IoT applications. Products available for evaluating this solution include the Connected LaunchPad and Evaluation Kit.
