Wireless lighting control systems also typically have recommended limits on the number of nodes connected to a particular gateway. In a wireless control system, a node is any device that transmits and receives instructions and data wirelessly, with its own unique address (i.e., luminaire controllers, sensors, switches, etc.). For example, one manufacturer’s system has a hard limit of 700 nodes per gateway. Another has a recommended limit of 100 nodes per gateway. (Some protocols may define nodes instead as a feature/characteristic such as occupancy sensing, daylight, dimming, etc.).
