Question #1

How Can You Reap the Potential of

IoT-Connected Lighting?
1
LED lighting is on its way to becoming the dominant lighting technology in both
residential and commercial installations, thanks to LEDs cost savings and global trends
toward greater energy efficiency. Add intelligent controls to LEDs, and the benefits
increase even more. Boston Consulting Group estimates that connected lighting
systems, also known as smart lighting systems, can deliver an additional 40% cost
savings on top of the savings already provided by LED technology.

But LEDs are more than just a different way to light spaces. Because lighting is already
installed wherever people are located, its an ideal foundation for sophisticated new
sensory networks.

When equipped with sensors and connected as part of the Internet of Things (IoT), LED
lighting systems can become the centerpiece for powerful IoT systems in commercial
buildings. In addition to greater energy conservation, improved user experiences,
and increased productivity, IoT-connected lighting solutionsand the IoT data they
generatecan enable new products and services that were not possible before.

For example, IoT sensor data generated by connected lighting systems can be
analyzed to:

Create heat maps that count the number of people located in or passing
through a given place.
Provide task-oriented lighting that adjusts the lightings intensity, spectrum, and
beam shape to optimum levels.

 Use beacon proximity sensing data via wireless radios to provide asset
management services.

With IoT-connected lighting systems in place:

Office and multi-residence buildings can:

Adjust lighting to reduce energy costs, boost worker productivity, mimic

natural light in windowless areas, and create the right ambiance for a variety of
activities.

Integrate smart lighting systems with IoT-connected building automation and

security systems and with beacons, to optimize space planning and automate
setup functions for meetings while delivering new levels of occupant comfort,
building owner cost savings, and safety for workers, residents, and guests.

Hotels can:

Selectively control the lighting of guest rooms, conference rooms, spa and
workout areas, lobbies, and dining spaces based on time of day, peoples
locations, or different activities.

Integrate smart lighting systems with IoT-connected check-in/check-out

systems, HVAC, security, entertainment systems, window blinds, elevators, and
logistics to enhance guest experiences and comfort, increase staff efficiency
and productivity, and save hotel owners energy and maintenance costs.

Hospitals can:

Control lighting to support individual patients healthcare needs, from using

particular color frequencies of light to following circadian rhythms.

Integrate smart lighting systems with IoT-connected patient monitoring systems,

diagnostic systems, HVAC systems, and pharmaceutical delivery management to
improve outcomes, prevent errors, reduce healthcare and hospital management
costs, and provide better patient experiences.

Heres the challenge: Traditionally, lighting, heating, security, and all the rest have
existed as isolated silos, each with its own technologies, protocols, modes of
operation, and expertise to design and manage. Connecting these silos into an
integrated IoT whole, and navigating the complexities of IoT itself, is really difficult
and very expensive. Bringing high-quality IoT products to market under siloed
conditions requires specialized resources and much more time than most
manufacturers are able to afford.

The Internet of Things requires interactions even among products that were not
originally meant to work together. How many lighting solutions were designed to
connect with other manufacturers lighting solutions, much less with ceiling fans,
window treatments, or fire alarms? These domains typically exist in isolated silos.

IoT interconnectivity of devices, services, and appsbreaking down those silos

happens best in the cloud, where all the IoT data comes together. Enabling your
lighting solution to participate in IoT means mastering all the interactions involved,
both technical and business-related.

To create an IoT-connecting lighting solution, you need to:

 Add connectivity to your physical device so it can connect to the Internet.

Figure out how to reconcile legacy, established, and emerging next-generation

protocols, including DALI, BACnet, DMX, KNX, 0-10V, phase dimmer, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth 4.x, BLE 5.0, BLE-Mesh, EnOcean, ZigBee HA, ZigBee 3.0 Mesh,
Thread 1.1/2.0-Mesh, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), PLC, 4G/LTE, and proprietary
systems.

Make your product interoperable with third-party devices, apps, and services.

Establish robust security in every link between your lighting product, the cloud,
the application controlling the product, and any third-party services or apps it
interacts with.

Remotely manage all your connected device assets.

Use IoT data generated by your smart lighting products to predict failures,
understand product usage, and improve usage by keeping the products
up-to-date with the latest software.

Make the IoT solution future-proof.

An ideal unified IoT-connected lighting solution is one that is built on an end-to-end

platform that includes hardware modules and software designed to integrate with one
another and with the IoT cloud.

Complete E2E: Hardware + Software + Cloud + Security + Ecosystem

Its an old adage in the digital security world that a system is only as secure as its
weakest link. Because everything in IoT is interconnected, IoT security needs to be
pervasive and equally strong everywhere. You need end-to-end IoT security, designed
in from the beginning. Adding security as an afterthought is very costly and could
force entire re-engineering efforts.

End-to-end security for your smart lighting solutions means:

Securing at the device, cloud, application, and data transport levels

Using open Internet standards-based authentication and authorization of both

devices and users to ensure that youre using the most up-to-date technologies

 Building in and using identity and privacy management protections for
all interactions

Providing secure management of IoT data, both at rest and in motion, as well as
protecting the privacy of users data

Securing the registration of your lighting solution using TLS, secure element,
and certificates issued by a trusted certificate authority

Securing and validating changes to software and ensuring that they are from
trusted sources

Assuring that the software used has no inherent security holes, malware, or
memory leaks

Question #4

How Will You Scale Your

IoT-Connected Lighting Solutions?
4

With off-the-shelf infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offerings readily available, it is

relatively easy to build a small-scale IoT system today. But scaling such a system
economically, reliably, and quickly can be a daunting task, encompassing issues of
hardware design, software design and updates, manufacturing, security, cloud, data
analytics, machine learning, and more.

IoT scalability encompasses more dimensions than just launching a greater number of
connected lighting products. Just as designing a comprehensive IoT system requires
expertise in all aspects of the IoT, so does scaling your IoT system. Plus, youll have to
plan for continued scalability throughout life cycles lasting years, even decades.

To scale your smart lighting solutions, you need to consider how you will scale:

Question #5

Can You Manage All Your Smart

Lighting Solutions?
5
Asset management is a critical component of your connected lighting business. With
IoT connectivity, asset management can be as easy as a dashboard from any location
in the world, or on your mobile device.

To manage smart lighting solution assets, you need:

A virtual representation of all your physical devices connected to the cloud

Connectivity monitoring, also known as device presence

Device health and status monitoring

Remote device management capabilities such as rebooting, factory reset, and

firmware updates

The ability to visualize IoT data from all your lighting solutions, in context

Automation of tasks using machine learning or artificial intelligence (AI)

technologies

Remember, too, that IoT-connected lighting systems encompass more than LED
luminaires. They also include occupancy, light level, motion, and other sensors, as well
as controls such as switches, touch and other control panels, cameras, microphones,
and mobile or web applications. Building services often require that all these
components be managed from a single dashboard.

Question #6

How Will You Update Your Smart

Lighting Systems Over Time?
6

In the past, your post-installation interaction with your lighting solutions might
have meant replacing bulbs or re-lamping during scheduled maintenance. But IoT
connectivity changes your fundamental relationship with your products.

Users increasingly expect smart devices to remain current and updated over time,
like their smartphones and computing devices. That means youll need to provide
bug fixes and firmware updates, and even upgrade features, after your IoT-connected
lighting products have been installed. The best way to accomplish these goals is
through over-the-air (OTA) communications.

Still, OTA is not a panacea. With OTA communications, you must:

Design your lighting solutions with sufficient memory to leave space for future
capabilities, including security updates and changes to the protocols you use.

Include the idea of future features in all your current lighting solution designs,
even if you dont know yet what those features will be.

@ 2017 Samsung Electronics. All rights reserved. artik.io artik.cloud 14

 Understand and master the intricacies and best practices of networking and
networking security.

Include state-of-the-art security for your OTA communications.

Write your firmware code so that it can be updated later via OTA
communications.

Build in the ability to perform roll-backs if problems are discovered.
