This page serves as a repository for information relating to the MMB's offering for connected lighting products.

Summary

MMB Networks offers a turnkey ControlScope enablement solution for lighting and sensors, providing drop-in ZigBee modules powered by MMB's RapidConnect networking software. RapidConnect is an embedded application that simplifies development, reduces time-to-market from months to weeks, and gives IoT devices robust, real-world networking and interoperability including out of the box support for Daintree Networks' ControlScope. MMB is also an official Daintree Networks test house, providing end-to-end enablement and certification support. 

Many lighting vendors have recognized that wireless controls systems such as Daintree ControlScope and other ZigBee-based platforms can add significant value to their products. However, it can be difficult to get to market quickly with a robust and reliable solution that meets the requirements of these platforms. To that end, MMB has created the RapidHA Lighting firmware to run on our world-class RapidConnect hardware, providing out-of-the-box compatibility with Daintree ControlScope and other systems based on the ZigBee HA 1.2 specifications.

MMB is able to provide RapidConnect ZigBee modules that are loaded with firmware that will automatically join a Daintree ControlScope or ZigBee HA 1.2 network as a Dimmable Light device. The RapidConnect module can interface with an LED driver via UART or PWM to set the appropriate brightness level or on/off state in response to commands from the Daintree WAC or HA 1.2 coordinator. In other words, MMB’s RapidHA Lighting solution allows lighting OEMs to set up a functional wireless lighting demonstration as soon as they are able to wire up the module to their hardware!
