Clare Controls Introduces ClareVue Lighting

ClareVue-5-Scene-Keypad-0914Taking aim at Lutron, who’s lagging behind in network-based wireless systems, Clare Controls will unveil its ClareVue lighting line this week at CEDIA. ClareVue is a wireless lighting system using Z-Wave certified lighting components – dimmers, switches, keypads, and receptacles. All of it is network and cloud-based using Clare’s ClareHome automation system.

ClareVue lighting is based on Z-Wave mesh networking which has two-way communications between all Z-Wave devices on the mesh network (breaking the infamous 30-foot limitation inherent in lower-performing “hub and spoke” lighting architectures).

ClareVue tells rAVe its lighting offers many benefits to integrators pursuing a volume-based automation business model in mainstream homes. While affordable, the system is also customized across a wide variety of lighting types, including dimmable LED/CFL, incandescent, halogen, magnetic low-voltage and electronic low-voltage loads. The components do not require special house wiring and, since Z-Wave technology is built into Clare’s CLIQ hosts, a separate dedicated lighting controller is unnecessary. This allows for easy scalability in new or retrofit installations.

Here are all the details.
