The Most Expensive Light Is the One Nobody Needs
LightSmart targets the lighting waste that usually hides in daily operations.
Manual switching
Manual switch rounds can consume 45 minutes a day across a park, turning routine lighting control into hundreds of hours of facility labor each year.
Always-on lights
Empty offices, garages, and warehouses often stay lit after hours, quietly absorbing 20%-40% of the lighting bill.
No zone or time control
One master switch treats window-side areas and interior zones the same, so the building wastes light where daylight is already enough.
No energy data
Without circuit-level trend data, teams cannot prove where waste happens or which saving measure worked.
LightSmart: Every Light Circuit. One Dashboard.
A practical control layer for schedules, scenes, groups, and energy visibility.
Solution architecture
LightSmart connects lighting distribution boxes to YenGear remote I/O and serial gateway hardware, then brings remote control, schedules, scene modes, grouping, and monitoring into the YenGear IoT Cloud.
One dashboard for every circuit
Field I/O modules handle circuit signals, RS485 links them to the gateway, and the cloud gives facility managers mobile and web access without a self-hosted server for standard projects.
Cloud gateway
Y201-G Mini DTU
Verified product data: 4G cellular with RS485/RS232, used to bring RS485 field devices online where wired networks are inconvenient.
Scheduling
Weekly and holiday schedules turn lights on for work hours, dim operational waste at lunch, and shut down unused zones after hours.
Scene modes
Preset work, off-duty, inspection, holiday, and full-on modes for fast building-wide changes.
Group management
Organize by floor, area, function, or circuit, then control a single group without disturbing the rest.
Energy monitoring
Use metered circuits and platform reports to find waste hotspots and validate saving results.
Free Cloud Platform. Unlimited Potential.
YenGear IoT Cloud comes with the lighting hardware for standard remote control, scheduling, scenes, groups, and monitoring.
Free Cloud
Standard cloud access is included with the hardware, avoiding recurring license fees and per-point platform charges.
Remote Control
Facility teams can check status, switch circuits, and adjust schedules from a phone or desktop.
Private Deployment
White-label app and web branding, custom domains, API integration, and private deployment are available for projects that need them.
OTA Upgrades
Cloud-based firmware upgrades reduce site visits and keep deployed devices improving over time.
From Manual to Automatic in One Afternoon
Control, schedule, measure, and group lighting circuits without changing the way the building is used.
Core advantages
Y301-880 + Y201-G
Remote centralized control
Switch any connected circuit from a phone or computer instead of walking to the electrical room.
Metered circuit option + gateway
Real-time energy monitoring
Track circuit consumption and turn daily, weekly, and monthly reports into specific saving actions.
Cloud scene engine
One-click scene switching
Move the whole site between work, inspection, holiday, and off-duty modes with consistent rules.
Y301-880 + cloud groups
Flexible group management
Light only the active floor, aisle, building, or functional area needed for the moment.
Where LightSmart Saves
The same control layer adapts to parks, offices, warehouses, garages, malls, and outdoor lighting.

Before
A multi-building industrial park relied on manual lighting rounds. Office blocks and public areas were often lit after work, on weekends, or during low-traffic periods.
After
YenGear remote I/O modules and gateways connected distribution boxes to the cloud. The site configured work-hour schedules, weekend shutdown, and night inspection scenes.
FAQ
Common questions about installation, compatibility, cloud use, and integration.
How is it installed? Does it require rewiring?
Y301 serial I/O modules are installed in the lighting distribution box and connected to existing relay or contactor control points where suitable. The exact wiring plan depends on the cabinet and circuit design.
What types of lamps are supported?
Any lighting circuit that can be controlled through a relay or contactor can usually be brought into the control system, including common LED, fluorescent, metal halide, and high-pressure sodium circuits.
Is the cloud platform really free?
Standard YenGear IoT Cloud access is included with the hardware for remote control, schedules, scenes, groups, and monitoring. Custom branding, private deployment, and advanced integration are scoped separately.
What if there is no Wi-Fi?
Use cellular gateway backhaul with the Y201-G, wired Ethernet gateway options, or LoRa I/O sync modules such as the Y401 family where a wireless dry-contact link is more appropriate.
Can it integrate with BA, BMS, or EMS systems?
Yes. Projects can use Modbus interfaces and customized APIs to connect lighting control data with existing building automation, energy, or maintenance systems.
