Choose the System that Meets Your Needs
One of the great strengths of Wattstopper PLUS is that it lets you choose the system design that works best for your specific project

Wireless System: Smart and Simple
We provide the industry’s most robust, secure, and reliable wireless lighting controls system, from small areas to ambitious large-scale deployments. A reliable mesh network surrounds your building, inside and out, providing excellent reliability. Wireless controls are inherently easier and faster for electrical contractors to install, since they don’t have to pull wire from device to device. It’s ideal for retrofits and new construction. And wireless gives you the ultimate in flexibility, since spaces and buildings can be adapted quickly in the future.

Wired System: Flexible and Reliable
If you prefer a wired system, we’ve made ours as advanced and simple as possible. Relying on the two-wire DALI topology we provide an easy to install wiring solution including supplying power and data to Wattstopper PLUS. On top our unique drag and drop mapping feature makes site commissioning quick, flexible and easy. Hybrid System: Freedom of Choice
In some installations, it may make sense to use a hybrid system design that combines wired and wireless technologies in one installation. For example, you may want to add a wireless floor or building to an existing wired project. And some areas of buildings (e.g., concrete construction) make pulling wire difficult. Or different tenants within a building may have a preference for wired or wireless. For these situations and more, we offer unequaled expertise in creating reliable hybrid solutions.
