How Interact
works

Hardware + software + services = light and insight
Think of an Interact system like a smart, responsive computer network that gives light. In general, an Interact connected lighting system consists of three main levels or layers: hardware installed in the illuminated space, software accessible via the cloud, and optional services from Signify.
Hardware
An Interact system uses connected LED luminaires and lamps to provide efficient, beautiful light. Behind the scenes, lighting controllers, sensors, and standard networking devices enable connectivity, lighting automation, energy savings, systems integrations, and data-enabled applications. Lighting control is enabled via mobile devices or via software services.
Software
The cloud-based Interact IoT platform serves the full range of Interact software applications for lighting management, asset monitoring and management, scene management, energy optimization, environmental monitoring, and multisite management. In indoor settings, Interact also offers applications for space analysis and management, indoor navigation, and circadian lighting.
System security is core to the Interact system, as demonstrated by Interact’s award-winning cybersecurity program. Cloud data storage enables powerful analysis and visualization tools that turn data into insight.
Signify services
Professional, managed, and lifecycle services from Signify offer benefits such as system audit and design, remote system management and maintenance, and light as a service, where you buy the light instead of the lighting.
Interact Custom Dashboard
The Interact Custom Dashboard lets you tailor your smart lighting solutions—and your dashboard itself—to your unique needs. It gives you precise control over your lighting and energy, whether you’re managing a building, street, highway, or city. An update on the existing Interact dashboard, the Custom Dashboard is customizable and integrated, with a range of additional benefits.
