Unwired Connect Secures DALI-2 Certification for India-Developed Lighting Control Solutions

DALI Alliance certification validates the company's locally designed lighting control products and expands its wired building automation portfolio

Unwired Connect has announced that its range of DALI-2 lighting control products has received certification from the DALI Alliance, the global industry body responsible for the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) standard. The certification covers multiple lighting control products designed, developed and manufactured in India.

Unwired Connect, a provider of building automation and IoT solutions, has received DALI-2 certification from the DALI Alliance for its lighting control product range.

The company became an Associate Member of the DALI Alliance in May 2026, while its DALI-2 products were certified during June and July 2026. Additional products are currently in the certification pipeline.

The certification covers the company's 15W, 24W and 40W DT6 drivers, DT8 Tunable White drivers, and RGB DT8 drivers. According to the company, this marks an important stage in its efforts to develop globally compliant building automation products in India.

With this certification, Unwired Connect becomes one of the Indian companies to design, develop and manufacture DALI-2 certified products locally.

DALI-2 is an internationally recognised standard for intelligent lighting control systems, enabling interoperability between lighting and automation devices from different manufacturers. Certified products are required to meet performance, reliability and compatibility standards for deployment across commercial buildings, hospitality projects, industrial facilities and smart infrastructure developments.

According to the company, its DALI-2 certified products were engineered at its R&D and Innovation Centre in India and manufactured locally.

Varun Joshi, Co-Founder, Unwired Connect, said:

"Achieving DALI-2 certification is a proud milestone for Unwired Connect and a testament to our team's engineering expertise and commitment to innovation. What makes this achievement particularly significant is that these products have been designed, developed, and manufactured in India. As one of the few Indian companies with DALI-2 certified products, we are demonstrating that world-class automation technologies can be built locally while meeting the highest global standards. This certification further strengthens our position as a technology partner for the automation industry and enables us to offer customers a comprehensive portfolio spanning both wired and wireless automation solutions."

Nitesh Vasant, Co-Founder and CTO, Unwired Connect, said:

"Getting DALI-2 certified is genuinely hard. Each driver had to prove itself on precise dimming, fault handling, and real plug-and-play compatibility with other brands' devices, with nothing left to chance. Doing all of this in-house means we truly understand our hardware and firmware, and that gives us a strong base to keep expanding our DT6, DT8 Tunable White, and RGB range as our customers' needs grow."

The certification process required compliance with international requirements covering hardware architecture, electronic design, firmware development, interoperability testing and product performance validation.

According to the company, the certification also broadens opportunities to work with system integrators, lighting manufacturers and automation solution providers seeking standards-compliant products for large-scale projects. The company stated that its portfolio now supports both wired and wireless automation systems.

Unwired Connect said it will continue developing automation technologies aimed at supporting integration, operational efficiency and sustainable infrastructure as smart building adoption expands in India and international markets.
