What Casambi Technologies does

Casambi Technologies Oy, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Espoo, Finland, provides a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) mesh-based smart lighting control platform that scales from single rooms to global enterprise installations, with native support for DALI and EnOcean protocols. The platform is built around a distributed mesh architecture where each Casambi-enabled node carries the firmware, allowing networks to form, self-heal, and operate without internet, gateways, or central controllers. The core software surface is the Casambi App (iOS and Android), used for commissioning, configuration, scene control, and over-the-air updates. Hardware revenue comes from in-house controllers (CBU-TED, CBU-ASD, CBU-DA-1P, CBU-PWM4), Salvador Series DALI controllers, and the Protopixel Gate bridge, while a growing share of revenue derives from licensing the Casambi firmware/chipset to luminaire and component manufacturers and from fee-based training and 3C/4C certification programs. The company monetizes primarily through an ecosystem model: OEMs embed Casambi into their products, distributors and value-added resellers sell those products, and certified 4C commissioning partners deliver installations, with Casambi capturing licensing royalties, hardware margins, and training fees across the chain. Customers span healthcare, hospitality, retail, office, museum/cultural, and broadcast segments (BBC, PwC Merchant Square, Ulster Hospital, Zaha Hadid Architects, Zara/Inditex, Helsinki Airport, Sanxingdui Museum, Ca' d'Oro), and Casambi operates offices in Finland, the United States, and Singapore. By 2025–2026 the platform reports 250K+ completed projects, 8M+ Casambi Ready products shipped, and approximately 7,500 new projects per month.

Core offering

Casambi Technologies develops and licenses a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) mesh-based smart lighting control platform that supports DALI, wireless, and hybrid lighting configurations. The company sells its own CBU-series wireless controllers and Salvador Series DALI controllers, licenses Casambi firmware to luminaire and component manufacturers for integration into their products, and provides the Casambi App (iOS/Android) for system commissioning and end-user control. It also offers fee-based training and certification programs (Enhanced, Enhanced+, 3C, 4C) for partners and integrators.

Product overview

Casambi Technologies offers a smart lighting control platform that supports DALI, wireless (Bluetooth Low Energy mesh), and hybrid configurations. The core platform consists of the Casambi App for configuration and control, Salvador Series DALI Controllers for wired DALI installations, and Casambi's BLE-based wireless system for wire-free deployments. The ecosystem includes thousands of interoperable products from ecosystem partners: CBU-TED, CBU-ASD, CBU-DA-1P, and CBU-PWM4 as core Casambi devices; plus ecosystem products like NAPPK PWM5CH-CAS, NAPPK DALI-0-10V-PWM-2CH-CAS, IC-A528-B-DA/0-10V-CW-CS, IC ECSCB 100-277 DRY 4IN CS, and IC EC BLE TW CS B from CUPOWER; and the Protopixel Gate Casambi for creative visual control. The platform scales from single rooms to 10,000+ node installations, supporting DALI DT8, DMX, relay, and API-based integrations with building management systems and digital twins.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Lutron Electronics: Lutron is the long-established specialist in architectural lighting controls (Caseta, RA, Quantum, Vive) with deep presence in hospitality, commercial and residential. Highly comparable because it sells wireless/wired lighting-control systems serving similar specifiers, installers and end-customer use cases as Casambi.
• Helvar: Helvar manufactures DALI-2 lighting controls and cloud services (Helvar Insight) targeting commercial buildings, education and healthcare. Comparable because it offers a competing wireless/DALI hybrid lighting-control platform for specifiers, system integrators and large end-customers in the same verticals Casambi serves.

Broad incumbents

• Signify (Philips Interact): Signify's Interact platform is a connected lighting system bundled with Philips luminaires. It overlaps with Casambi's enterprise lighting-control proposition across office, retail and industrial sites, but Signify competes via vertical integration of lamps, drivers and controls rather than open-ecosystem licensing.
• Legrand: Legrand's building-systems portfolio (Wattstopper, Vantage, KNX) provides lighting and energy controls across commercial and residential markets. It is a broad incumbent with overlapping capability on wireless and DALI controls, competing in many of the same specifications but as part of a much wider electrical infrastructure portfolio.
• Acuity Brands (nLight / Distech): Acuity Brands sells the nLight lighting-controls platform alongside its luminaire and building-automation portfolio. It competes for the same commercial and architectural specifications Casambi targets, with the structural advantage of in-house luminaire manufacturing as a captive OEM channel.
• Schneider Electric: Schneider's Wiser, KNX and SpaceLogic product lines deliver lighting control as part of an integrated building-management offering. Comparable because it competes for the same smart-building specifications Casambi targets, but as a much broader energy management and automation vendor rather than a lighting-controls specialist.
• Crestron Electronics: Crestron offers enterprise lighting and AV control systems (Crestron Home, Zūm) deployed in corporate, hospitality and high-end residential. It overlaps with Casambi's specifier-driven channel and high-end project business while competing primarily on wired/wireless hybrid integrated control.

Emerging players

• Osram / LEDVANCE (HubSense): LEDVANCE/Osram's HubSense is a Bluetooth-mesh lighting-controls platform focused on commercial retrofit projects. Directly comparable to Casambi on wireless protocol and retrofit use case, though with a smaller ecosystem and tighter coupling to Osram's own luminaire line.
• LightApp: LightApp is a Bluetooth-mesh commercial lighting-controls player in the European mid-market. It competes head-to-head on the same BLE-mesh + DALI architecture for SME and mid-market retrofit projects where Casambi's ecosystem-led value proposition is less differentiated.

Others

• DALI Alliance: The DALI Alliance is the standards body driving DALI-2 and D4i specifications that underpin most wired lighting controls. It is a relevant peer because its evolving standards (especially wireless DALI extensions) directly shape the competitive alternatives to Casambi's BLE-mesh approach for OEM integrations.
