# DALI Binding

This binding supports controlling devices on a DALI bus (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) via a daliserver (opens new window) connection.

Daliserver supports the Tridonic/Lunatone DALI USB adapter. As it only provides a thin multiplexer for the USB interface, the DALI messages themselves are implemented as part of this binding.

# Supported Things

Currently, these things are supported:

  • daliserver (bridge)
  • device (single device/ballast on the DALI bus)
  • group (group of DALI devices)
  • rgb (virtual device consisting of three directly addressed devices that represent r/g/b (LED) color channels)

This binding was tested on a DALI 1 bus with daliserver 0.2.

# Discovery

Automatic device discovery is not yet implemented.
