Getting Started & System Overview

Video Tutorial: Watch the companion video V01: Getting Started & System Overview for a visual introduction to the system.

Overview

The Keilton+autani system provides intelligent control of commercial lighting through advanced Bluetooth Low Energy Mesh protocols (versions 4.2 and 5.0). Developed in the USA by LiteTrace, this system delivers industry-leading performance, security, and energy efficiency with wireless communication up to 100 feet or more between devices.

This article introduces the system's capabilities, explains key concepts, and identifies the main components you'll work with.

System Capabilities

With the Keilton+autani system, you can:

  • Commission wirelessly — Set up your entire lighting network directly from a mobile device without requiring internet access or gateways
  • Control flexibly — Manage individual fixtures or create customized lighting groups
  • Create scenes — Design preset lighting configurations for different activities and environments
  • Automate operations — Set schedules based on time, occupancy, and ambient light
  • Monitor energy — Track usage and optimize efficiency across your facility

Understanding LLLC

Luminaire-Level Lighting Control (LLLC) is the foundation of this system. LLLC means each individual light fixture is equipped with its own control device or integrated control system, allowing for independent control and management of each fixture.

LLLC Capabilities

Each LLLC luminaire can:

  • Detect human movement using integrated motion sensors
  • Measure ambient light levels using photosensors
  • Automatically respond by turning on, off, or dimming based on conditions
  • Operate independently without requiring a central controller

This approach maximizes energy efficiency because each fixture responds to its immediate environment rather than operating on a fixed schedule.

System Components

The Keilton+autani system consists of four main component types:

1. Networked Controllers and Sensors

Controllers connect to lighting fixtures while sensors detect occupancy and ambient light. Together, they create an intelligent lighting environment that responds automatically to changing conditions.

2. Wall Switches

Wireless controls that can be programmed to manage individual lights, groups, or activate custom scenes. These switches do not require complex wiring for installation.

3. The Keilton+autani Mobile App

The central interface for commissioning, configuring, and controlling all system components. Key features include:

  • Works without gateways or internet access
  • Uses data encryption for mesh network security
  • Stores configuration in encrypted QR codes
  • Available for iOS and Android devices

4. QR Codes

Encrypted codes that control access to each network device. QR codes enable secure sharing of zone access with authorized users while maintaining system security.

Bluetooth Mesh Networking

The system uses Bluetooth mesh networking, where each device can relay signals to other devices. This provides several advantages:

Benefit Description
Extended range Signals hop between devices, reaching far beyond single Bluetooth range
Self-healing If one device goes offline, the mesh routes around it automatically
Resilient connectivity The network maintains operation even with device failures
No central hub required Devices communicate directly without a gateway

Certifications & Compliance

LiteTrace certifications ensure the Keilton+autani system meets the highest industry standards:

  • UL 1376 Verification — First Chinese manufacturer to receive security capabilities verification
  • Full-Stack R&D — First to achieve in-house development for networked sensors and controllers
  • DLC NLC5 Listed — One of the first systems listed to DLC's Networked Lighting Controls standard

Data Persistence

All settings—including sensor parameters, group configurations, scene definitions, and schedules—are saved directly on individual luminaire controllers. This means:

  • The system continues operating correctly after power outages
  • No network connection is required for normal operation
  • Settings persist without cloud dependency

Before You Begin

For the best experience with the Keilton+autani system, ensure:

  • [ ] Your mobile device has Bluetooth 4.2 or later
  • [ ] Camera access is enabled for QR code scanning
  • [ ] Lighting fixtures are installed and powered
  • [ ] You plan to use a single device during commissioning
