- Cabinet-level and lamp-level control: A controller in the cabinet, or a node on each light.
- Controller sockets: NEMA and Zhaga: Add a node without opening the luminaire.
- Dimming interfaces: DALI, D4i, and 0–10 V: How the node talks to the driver.
- Networks: cellular, LoRaWAN, Wi-SUN, and others: How the data gets from the street to the platform.
- Interoperability: TALQ, uCIFI, and open APIs: How to avoid lock-in to one maker.
- What a controller sends: The readings and alarms behind every view.
- Security of connected lighting: A device that can switch a street can be attacked.
- AI and MCP: Ask about your network in plain language.
