Frequently Asked Questions

What is Signify Interact for Intelligent Buildings?

Signify Interact for Intelligent Buildings is Signify's wireless connected lighting control system. It brings together lighting, software and connectivity to create more responsive buildings, and it supports energy efficiency, well-being, consistent light quality and sustainability goals. The architecture grows in three steps. It starts with standalone lighting control. The Signify Interact gateway adds connected capabilities. The Interact Building suite then turns it into a full building intelligence platform with AI-driven analytics.

Which types of buildings and spaces is Signify Interact designed for?

Signify Interact is designed for a wide range of professional spaces, including offices, warehouses, hospitals, schools, retail and building perimeters. It scales from single spaces to entire campuses. Projects can begin with basic automation and scale when ready.
