Description

Innerscene SkySync is a window‑mounted light sensing unit that captures the natural sky and delivers it indoors. It measures CIE 1931 color with 1 SCDM accuracy, enabling precise detection of any color or CCT the eye can see.

The device continuously measures sky color and ambient color temperature, streaming real‑time data to Innerscene fixtures for faithful interior replication.

Modes & Sensing: Operates wirelessly via integrated solar power or by Ethernet (PoE). A dual‑sensor design combines a 10° sky sampling cone with a 180° diffuse ambient collector for precise, stable results.

Dual-Mode Control System

Schedule Mode: Fixtures follow real-time SkySync data to replicate exterior lighting conditions.

Dimmer Override Mode: External dimming control overrides schedule programming.

Auto-Switching: Fixtures automatically detect external control signals and return to schedule mode when dimming is idle, power cycle occurs, or via app control.
