luxData.connect
Control the lighting. Stay in control.
The open, vendor-neutral control platform for public lighting—no proprietary vendor cloud, no vendor lock-in, and compliant with EU regulations from the ground up.
Meets the requirements for critical infrastructure—in practice, not just on paper.
Smart City Today. Blind Tomorrow?
Many lighting control systems work only through the cloud and their manufacturer’s platform: controller → third-party cloud → control. If the provider, its server, or its business model goes away, the system stops working, and expensive hardware becomes electronic waste.
Digital Sovereignty—From the Ground Up
luxData.connect structurally meets the regulatory requirements for critical infrastructure and gives municipalities and operators back full control.
Anforderungen
Your infrastructure.
Your control.
Benefits for You
Open at its core, independent in operation
It is built on an established open-source IoT platform. It has been adapted for lighting control and can be expanded as needed.
Vendor-neutral server
The controller communicates directly with an independent server, not through a proprietary manufacturer cloud. Hardware from different manufacturers runs under a single control system.
Open Standards & Connectors
Connectivity via MQTT, LwM2M, HTTP, CoAP, SNMP, and gateway connectors (OPC-UA, Modbus, BACnet, KNX), as well as open lighting standards such as DALI D4i and Zhaga.
Company of your choice
In the cloud, on your own IT infrastructure, or fully self-hosted. Thanks to its open architecture, you can expand or continue to operate the system yourself at any time.
Prepared Today for Tomorrow's Challenges
Fewer components, direct communication, full transparency—luxData.connect structurally meets key EU and KRITIS requirements, not just on paper.
DSGVO
Control and operational data remain under the direct control of the operator. There is no system-related transfer of data to third parties.
EU Data Act
You have direct access to all data without having to go through a provider's platform. You can switch providers without having to replace your hardware.
EU Cyber Resilience Act
Minimal attack surface due to a small number of components and direct communication. Updates are managed by the operator.
KRITIS
Fallback-capable: The system continues to run locally even without external services. Thanks to its open-source nature, it is fully auditable and therefore not a black box.
Three Paths—One Principle
From a quick start to a fully self-hosted infrastructure: the same openness, different levels of control and security.
