MSX-CTI/LV20/ACS

Line-voltage mesh controller · J-box mount · 500 nodes

Line-voltage mesh controller for retrofits. Wires to 120–277 V AC with L, N and G screw terminals and mounts in a single-gang J-box, replacing a line-voltage switch. Anchors the ⒶCS mesh, coordinating up to 500 sensor and switch nodes, and links it to the ⒶCS app for commissioning and reporting.

How it works

One controller anchors the whole mesh.

ACS mesh: fixtures relay to each other; the app commissions the network.CTRLSENSORS + SWITCHES JOIN AS NODES; THE CONTROLLER ANCHORSLine-voltage anchor for the mesh · up to 500 nodesⒶCS appQR-code onboardingcommission · configure · scheduleⒶCS clouddaily energy + occupancymulti-site dashboard · rebate exportCLOUD UNREACHABLE → LOCAL CONTROL CONTINUES

Anchor

Coordinates the mesh

Anchors up to 500 sensor and switch nodes per network.

Retrofit

Goes where the switch was

Single-gang J-box mount with L, N and G screw terminals.

Status

Status LED

Shows pairing and network health at a glance.

Resilient

Cloud drops, lights don't

Local occupancy, daylight and schedules continue unchanged. Reports queue and upload on reconnect.

Range

100 ft node to node, clear line of sight.

Not sure which platform?

Standalone, mesh or enterprise.

Start from the job: one fixture that dims itself, a building you want to see and report on, or a network that talks to the BMS.
