3. Product Components
A Smart Light Platform (SLP) consists of:
• A Mainboard that reads physical inputs and drives light outputs in PWM and digital
switches.
• A MCU (Micro Controller Unit) card that hosts and executes the control software that
processes the inputs and generates the commands for the outputs.
• An expansion board (optional) that increase the number of digital switches to 8
connectable devices
Product Manual AGS SpA Page 8
Below is also reported the physical schema:
4. Hardware specifications of the components
4.1 Mainboard
The mainboard contains all input and output ports to connect Smart Light Platform to
the external world:
• 8 connectors with 5 poles for RGBW led and +24V power supply divided
into
o Two PWM channels in SLP V3
o Four PWM channels in SLP V4
o Each channel can connects up to 2 LED lamps,
• 2 connectors for power supply (each 24V DC)
Product Manual AGS SpA Page 9
• 2 inputs for temperature sensors Pt1000 and Pt100
• 1 input for NTC temperature sensor
• 8 input connector + common pole for 5 physical buttons or sensors and 3 generic
digital input or sensors
• 1 slot to connect an output expansion board
• 1 output channel to manage an external audio amplifier
4.2 Expansion board (Optional)
The Expansion board allows to add 4 additional relays to control power outputs.
The expansion is optional on SLP V3, while starting from the SLP V4.0 is mounted by default.
4.3 Micro Controller Unit (MCU) - Hardware
The MCU card uses the microprocessor ARMv8 architecture with 64bit CPU 1.2GHz quad
core and a 1GB DDR3 RAM.
The MCU card communicates with the main board via I2C bus. It receives inputs and
elaborates results through its resident software and sends back commands to the main board
to control lights and outputs.
Other hardware features of the Micro Controller Unit are:
• 4 USB ports
• One RJ45 Ethernet port
• One 3.5mm output audio jack
Product Manual AGS SpA Page 10
5. SLP Control Software
Three software modules allow a correct and effective management of the device:
1) A software backend module, installed on the Micro-Controller Unit (MCU) receives the input
request and transforms them into control signals for the output devices connected.
2) A Mobile Android App allows to manage in an easy and flexible way most of the capabilities
provided by the product.
3) A configuration module that allows customization of users’ environment variables according
to their needs.
5.1 Backend Software
The back-end software orchestrates the entire operation of the SLP. The software reacts to
external events generated by input devices (sensors, buttons etc) or timers, producing
appropriate commands to activate the desired actions. It also manages the communication
protocol to interact with the Mobile App and the configurator, to receive commands and transfer
the control values on Lights PWM lines and outputs.
The backend also includes an operational management software module that includes a system
software monitoring system (watchdog) that allows to send alerts and prevent outages and a
backup mechanism of the configuration of the SLP, including saving to a remote host, so that it’s
possible to restore the SLP settings on the same or on a new one, in case of replacement. It is
also provided a mechanism for remote connection, debugging and recovery in case of problems,
and to automatically update software remotely.
5.2 Configuration Software
The Configurator software allows initial configuration and in general to set all basic information to
use the SLP in the customer’s environment. These includes:
• Network Parameters
• Security Access PIN
Product Manual AGS SpA Page 11
• Number and names of configured Zones
• Input Buttons and Output ports configuration
Initial configuration will be based on pre-configured factory settings, like color pre-sets.
More pre-set can be added later on by the Mobile App, and at that point these will also be visible
by the configurator for further changes to initial configuration.
5.3 Mobile App
The app, in conjunction with the SPL backend software, allows the user to control all the features
provided by the platform: light management, adding and removing pre-sets, timers and programs.
5.3.1 SLP Connection
The SLP must be configured in a WiFi network. Current SLP models do not provide an internal
WIFI module, so the SLP must be wired to an external WIFI router.
The smartphone where the App is installed must be connected to the same WIDI network as the
SLP. At startup the APP detects the first available SLP on the network, and connect to it asking
the user to enter the security PIN. Once connected the App loads the SLP configuration to allow
control of Lights and outputs.
5.3.2 Light control
Once connected the APP shows all defined zones. The user can select a zone and set a
predefined color (preset) to all Lights connected to that zone; or change existing presets or add
new presets.
5.3.3 Light Effects setting
Three types of standard Effects are defined by default on any SLP:
Chrome: continuous sequence of N colors. The user can define a duration (the same for all
colors) and a transition from one color to the next one (linear, stepped, non-linear).
Fireplace: simulates the light effect generated by the flame in a fireplace.
Product Manual AGS SpA Page 12
Strobe: continuous switching between two different colors. The user can select the colors and the
duration in milliseconds of each color.
Starting from a standard effect, the user can create a personalized program by editing the
required parameters, and save the new program with a name
5.3.4 Programs and rules
The App allows setting up Programs to switch on and off the lights, effects or outputs at specific
time. Every program allows you to set starting time, duration and repetition in days of weeks and
months. Rules allows associating a predefined Program to a specific zone.
For more detailed information on the SLP software, please read the SLP Software user manual.
6. Physical Installation
6.1 Electrical connections
The SLP controller can be powered by one or two power supply units converting 110/230 Vac
to 24 V DC, depending on the total output power required by connected devices (Lights).
Different types of Power Supply units can be used depending on device utilization
• 150W SELV Power Supply for Pool Lights supply
• 240W SELV Power Supply for Pool Lights supply
• 180W Power Supply for in house usage
It is possible to power on the SLP with a single power supply, with an adequate power,
connecting the two channels with a bridge, as shown below:
Product Manual AGS SpA Page 13
As previously mentioned the SLP manages 2 or 4 light channels, depending on the device
model, each controlling 2 lights ports.
Each power supply feeds different channels, in particular:
• On SLP V3 models, “PWS1” feeds Channels “A” and “PWS2” feeds Channels “B”
• On SLP V4 models, “PWS1” feeds Channels “A” and “B” while “PWS2” feeds Channels
“C” and “ D” .
