RTI adds Orro Intelligent lighting control support

Smart home specialist RTI has announced that its control platform now works with Orro intelligent lighting control.

Orro adaptive lighting automatically adjusts based on homeowner presence and preferences. Now RTI is enabling control and automation of Orro switches from within the RTI environment, and can also launch control and automation events when triggered by Orro presence detection.

By way of an example, when someone enters the room, the lights will turn on and audio system adjusted to a preferred station and volume. When no presence is detected, the lighting scene can change, and the music can be turned off.

Standard Orro lighting control is enabled through the RTI system. The homeowner can launch lighting scenes, set dimmer levels, control lighting loads, turn individual lights or lighting groups on and off, and combine Orro Switches into groups.

Orro also works with select smart bulbs and switches.

"Automated lighting control is an important aspect of the smart home, and Orro adds a level of intelligence that makes it more intuitive than ever for the homeowner," said Neal Ellsworth, Director of Product Management at RTI. "With the RTI integration, it's much more than just using the control system to automate the lighting. We're also enabling the lighting system to drive the automation. The result is a unified system in tune with the homeowner."

The new driver that enables the RTI-Orro integration is available to authorized RTI dealers at the RTI driver store, and directly within the RTI Integration Designer 11 control application programming software.
