Smart DALI Lighting

Intelligent lighting management for buildings that cannot afford to fail.

Why DALI matters

Lighting that tells you
when something is wrong

DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is the international standard for building lighting control. SpiderWeb makes it visible โ€” every light, every fault, every time.

Real-time monitoring

SpiderWeb subscribes to the DALI MQTT topic and receives every status change the moment it happens. Brightness levels, lamp state, gear health โ€” all live, all the time.

Instant fault alerts

When a lamp fails or a gear fault is detected, SpiderWeb immediately sends a Telegram message and/or email โ€” with the light address, fault type, and timestamp.

Remote control

Change brightness, switch lights off or to max from any device. Direct DALI command dispatch via MQTT โ€” no proprietary software required.

Open integration

Built on MQTT + Socket.IO. Connect to any building management system, cloud dashboard, or automation workflow via standard protocols.

How it works

1

DALI bus sends status

Every DALI device broadcasts its state on the bus. SpiderWeb's MQTT bridge listens on the dali/status/# topic.

2

SpiderWeb processes events

State changes are parsed and emitted to all connected browsers via Socket.IO. Fault conditions trigger the alert pipeline immediately.

3

You get notified

Telegram bot or email alert lands in your inbox within a second โ€” light address, fault type, and current level included in the message.

4

Take action

Open the SpiderWeb dashboard, identify the faulting light, and send a control command โ€” all from the same interface.

Network topology

Every node visible,
every fault caught immediately

The PLC gateway at the center maintains a persistent heartbeat with every distributed light. Active communication channels pulse in real time. Faulted nodes flash red. Offline nodes appear grey. All of it visible from the operations room โ€” before the operator notices.
