System constraints overview / Network limits
The below constraints apply when creating networks using the original Casambi app.
To allow for possible future network expansion, Casambi never recommend designing networks to work at the maximum limits.
For networks using multiple lux sensors it is particularly important to implement network of a reduced size due to the significant data requirements of such networks that will affect the available bandwidth and therefore reduce network performance.
note
App version and device firmware must be the latest release versions
General
| Description | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Nodes in a "Classic" network | up to 127* | Classic is only in "maintenance". Use Evolution for new networks wherever possible. |
| Nodes in an "Evolution" network | up to 250* | The higher the network data traffic requirements, the smaller the networks must be. |
| Number of separate access emails/passwords | 10 | Only for Evolution networks. Any combination of Admin, Manager or User. |
| Simultaneous Users accessing a network | 10 |
Luminaires Tab
| Description | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Groups in one network | 250 | |
| Devices (nodes) per group | 250 |
Gallery Tab
| Description | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gallery image file size | < 4MB | Recommended. Image is downscaled if larger. |
Scenes Tab
| Description | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Scenes per network | 255 | Includes "Site" scenes affecting the same Network. |
| Steps used per animation scene | 80 | Steps include Scenes and Wait times. |
| Conditions used in a Time based scene | 50 | If only one scene per condition is triggered. |
Timers
| Description | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Amount of scenes activated by one timer | 50 | Triggered scenes must contain mutually exclusive luminaires (i.e., different luminaires). |
| Timers configurable per network | 255 | Includes "Site" timers affecting the same Network. |
Switches
| Description | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Amount of scenes in Cycle scenes option | 255 | |
| EnOcean switches per network | 249 |
Sensors
| Description | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Presence sensors controlling the same luminaires | 30 (10) | Figure in brackets is for Classic networks. |
| Amount of scenes triggered by one presence sensor | 2 | Triggered scenes must contain mutually exclusive luminaires (i.e., different luminaires). |
| EnOcean sensors per network | 249 | |
| Lux value used if multiple lux sensors affect the same luminaires | Average lux |
Gateways
| Description | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Internet (Cloud) Gateways enabled per network | 1 |
Site
| Description | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Networks per Site | < 50 | Recommended. A Site is intended to control networks in the same physical location (e.g., Floors in a building). |
| Scenes configurable per Site | 255 | Site scenes also count towards the local network scene limit. |
| Timers configurable per Site | 255 | Site timers also count towards the local network timer limit. |
