What is Synapse wireless control?
Synapse is a wireless lighting control technology provided by Synapse Wireless. Central to Synapse’s offering is the SimplySnap interface, a versatile platform that caters to the unique lighting needs of any space. It provides you with the flexibility for both on-site and remote management. With SimplySnap, you can group lights into zones and control them centrally through software. This allows for features like scenes, schedules, and sensor-based adjustments for daylight, motion, or other factors. Synapse also offers a cloud-based user interface for remote access and control of your lighting system. This allows for centralized management of multiple locations. With Synapse SimplySnap, more energy savings can be achieved.

Why choose Synapse over Bluetooth?
You might be curious why we are developing Synapse lighting solutions after the Bluetooth mesh system. The key reason is control distance. While Synapse shares many benefits with Bluetooth, it offers a significant advantage for outdoor sports lighting with a control distance of up to 300 to 1600 meters. In contrast, Bluetooth may encounter limitations at around 100 meters. This extended range ensures reliable performance and seamless control, making Synapse the ideal choice for large outdoor spaces.
Zhaga socket with Synapse system
AGC is developing a wireless lighting control solution compatible with Synapse and Zhaga 18. This combination provides a versatile and easy-to-install solution for intelligent lighting control in various applications. Synapse controller can work seamlessly with any fixtures (high bays, flood lights, sport lights, urban lights, etc) equipped with a Zhaga Book 18 socket. Here are some of our products with Zhaga 18 socket:
Robust wireless mesh network, reliable lighting control
With SimplySnap, each luminaire in the mesh network is wirelessly linked to its neighbors, creating multiple communication paths. If one fixture malfunctions or the signal is blocked, data can be relayed through neighboring fixtures, ensuring continued communication and control. This ensures reliable and robust communication, effectively navigating around obstacles and boosting signal strength.
Applications
Our solution offers exceptional flexibility, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. However, it truly excels in expansive outdoor spaces such as sports fields and parking lots, where its advanced capabilities can be fully utilized.
Industrial application
We empower warehouse and industrial facility managers to harness the benefits of wireless lighting control and energy management systems without the costly upgrade to new equipment. Our solution incorporates daylight harvesting, utilizing natural light to optimize energy consumption and reduce costs.
Sport fields
Say goodbye to traditional wired DMX setups – experience the magic of wireless control. From recreational fields to professional arenas, we provide cutting-edge lighting control solutions that ensure safe, competitive, and entertaining venues. Our Zhaga and Synapse sports lighting systems feature dynamic effects that enhance the spectator experience, whether on the field or in the arena.
Parking lots
Well-lit parking lots enhance perceived safety, contributing to improved customer loyalty, increased event attendance, and better employee retention. Take command of your parking areas with our user-friendly scheduling and occupancy detection features, ensuring optimal lighting levels at all times. Our lighting solutions offer precise control to achieve these goals while conserving energy and reducing costs.
FAQ about Synapse
How many devices can I manage on a SNAP network single site?
- Manage up to 1,000 devices with a single site controller,
- Up to 10,000 devices with multiple site controllers and cloud service.
What is the maximum supported distance between wireless nodes?
It depends on the antenna, physical and electro-magnetic interference sources, and topography.
– For controllers with external antennas, the range is approximately 1 mile (1600m) line of sight.
– For controllers with internal antennas the range is approximately 500 ft (300m) line of sight.
How many photocells can be in a zone?
Only 1 photocell is allowed per zone.
How many motion sensors can be in a control zone?
There is no limit to how many motion sensors can be in a control zone.
How many zones can a light be a member of?
A light can be in 19 different zones.
How many control zones can be changed with a single scene?
One scene can modify the behavior of 100 individual control zones.
How many scenes can be triggered from the built-in CBS buttons or with a 5-button switch?
Each button on a 5-button switch can be configured to toggle through 5 different scenes, allowing a total of 25 scenes to be controlled by the switch.
What dimmer curve do SimplySNAP controllers support?
SimplySNAP controllers pass through the dimming percentage linearly to the LED driver. Our controllers comply with IEC60929 Annex E (0-10V) dimming standards.
Is the antenna included with the wireless controller?
For controllers that use external antennas, the antennas are purchased separately. This allows the user to define the type of antenna they wish to use. (fixed, outdoor, indoor, etc.)
What dimmer curve does SimplySnap controllers support?
SimplySnap controllers pass through the dimming percentage linearly to the LED driver. Our controllers comply with IEC60929 Annex E (0-10V) dimming standards.
What type of daylight harvesting does SimplySnap support?
SimplySnap supports the open-loop daylight harvesting. This is the best type for large scale indoor environments with high ceilings and skylights. Daylight Harvesting Zones in SimplySnap use photocells to detect the amount of natural light in a particular area and automatically control the light level of the electric lights to help save power and maintain the desired light levels in the space.
Does SimplySnap use Zigbee?
No, it is not compatible with Zigbee. SimplySnap uses SNAP. SNAP is a Synapse-proprietary wireless protocol built off of the IEEE 802.15.4. SNAP uses the same radios used by Zigbee. SNAP uses a simplified mesh protocol that is more robust than Zigbee. SNAP is a self-healing peer to peer mesh network. Synapse radios utilize a PA(Power Amplifier) and a LNA(Low Noise Amplifier) to provide strong RF signals for rugged environments.
