About us

LumenCache is a DC power and control infrastructure for buildings that solves all the limitations wireless and AC powered solutions struggle to overcome. Efficiency and eWaste reduction is just the start. Simplicity, price, and reduced obsolescence make it attractive to builders. It improves compatibility between vendors and versions, and allows building technology to evolve almost as quickly as software. Start with reliable and efficient lighting to get the infrastructure installed, but that's just the beginning... It enables AI in buildings by including a tiny bit of control into every powered device. It enables demand management to help the grid transition to renewables. And it allows 5G to work indoors. LumenCache is the evolution of power and control inside buildings.

    BHS 191: From Building Automation to Smart Homes | The LumenCache Revolution In this episode, Bill & Eric welcome Derek Cowburn, founder of LumenCache, winner of the 2024 Brilliance Awards in the Major Systems category! Derek shares how his background in building controls and automation influenced his development of Lumen Cache; a company focused on creating a smart infrastructure that integrates DC power to drive lighting, sensors, and automation.  Derek explores the challenges of mainstreaming smart building technologies, particularly overcoming builders' concerns with reliability, cost, and installation ease.  Lumen Cache's innovative modular plug-and-play system simplifies integration for builders and offers adaptability for future technology upgrades, unlike traditional AC systems. Derek also highlights the potential of integrating indoor air quality and energy management sensors, envisioning homes and offices that are "smart from the start" without the need for complex retrofits.

    EXPO REAL (Messe München) attendees and Judges have an opportunity to see Gon Zifroni present 12 years of R&D, $2.2m of deployed proof-of-concept experience, and 4 months of his own immaculate distillation of this giant story into a highly compelling and eloquent presentation. I hope every attendee that has the opportunity to see his presentation puts down their phone, opens their minds, lowers their shields, tempers their paradigms, and gives a rousing applause when he completes his presentation-- if so compelled! For #PropTech, this is one of those rare moments, and you can all say you were there. You saw ALL the puzzle pieces put together and the amazing result. Good luck Gon! And as always, have fun. Your own journey of discovery and the extreme excitement it continues to evoke is hard to mask. -dc

    A little shout out from Dave at one of my favorite channels: "Just Have a Think". With 2/3 of all energy wasted in production and transmission, we are closer than you think to dramatically reducing the amount of toxins humans put into the air, water, and soil. What a great Epoch to be part of!

    Did you know...LumenCache was invented to make AI applications viable in commercial buildings? Yep, energy management systems was my first career, and the AI apps Dave describes often rely on wireless networks, which struggle with connectivity issues. Not to mention how much energy the sensor networks consume 24x7x365--also known as the baseload, quiescent, or "vampire" loads. #vampire load comparative studies planned next month. Dave does an awesome job explaining how the systems of energy delivery are changing, and how LumenCache brings those benefits to both commercial buildings AND residential.

    LumenCache is not a Fad. It's a holistic solution. And its time has [finally!] come.

    https://lnkd.in/duK5p_eB A friend sent me a link to the new Sonos, Inc. Era with #PoE and asked if we should partner with them. I replied, technically, we already have because PoE 802.3bt is a standard card module for ReNetA, so a homeowner can simply plug their speakers into the nearest network wall outlet, and in the closet, plug in a matching PoE card. Done. The article even says they want to avoid wireless problems. Watch videos from our YT channel to see how LumenCache solved the adoption chasm. The early adopters will get their ReNetA systems starting in November. The PoE card will be in the first batch-- long before the Era is shipping. We strongly recommend #Builders with projects after November pre-order now as we already have $9m in named projects in the sales funnel and doing what's needed to resolve any supply volume constraints.

    It's here! The LumenCache ReNetA lighting system design tool is finally completed. See the short example video below of the power of this system. It's critical for new users of LumenCache to wire their home and commercial projects correctly. Wiring or design mistakes, just like AC wiring, can be costly to correct. To avoid "Noob Errors", we updated the design tool to check for commonly omitted parts and wiring errors. This is a GREAT double check on your lighting and electrical plans and the single line drawings feature makes it SUPER easy to check your system, confirm designs with your lighting designer, and even act as a checklist for the installers. ReNetA is pre-selling now and we have a growing backlog of quotes to get through, but now that the tool is completed, we'll be catching up and can get accurate quotes turned around quickly.

    Everyone knows about the "Lumen" part of LumenCache (lighting). But what about the "Cache" part? Power grid outages can leave you in the dark, and battery systems and generators large enough to handle 100% of the house load are expensive. But there's a way #builders can deliver sufficient comfort, security, and #storm #resilience in every home for under $1800--installed. LumenCache Batttery Energy Storage System (BESS) not only delivers continuous reliable power to lighting, USB charging outlets, and ventilation, it provides an integrated control layer to make the best use of the smaller storage capacity. Imagine offering this convenience as a 15 minute upgrade to any ReNetA system. Step 1: Mount battery to wall Step 2: Plug in battery and CAN communication bus to PowerPlane. Step 3: Press On button. No complex setup required. Adding capacity is also a snap by simply attaching up to 10 batteries, delivering 50kWh of capacity if extended runtime is needed. Batteries are a complex product, and safety is our top priority. While interviewing factory partners, I finally found one that meets all the criteria. Firstly, they work with several top brands you would definitely recognize. Their QC and safety labs are unparalleled. And they have a cooperative team so we can achieve the integration capabilities without compromise. Be sure to like, share, and join the forum conversations around: - Construction lights (LC "gateway drug") - ReNetA - Snap in battery https://lnkd.in/gZDxVkvV

    The two classes by Clifton Stanley Lemon and David Wilds Patton on lighting design and lighting controls are outstanding. Just enough details to get you on the right path, and goes quickly enough to be worth the time. Definitely attend or watch this AFTER you watch some videos and learn about LumenCache. You'll have a completely different class experience knowing how all the challenges and hurdles of AC #lighting #controls are solved, and how easy it is to implement all their great lighting design ideas using ReNetA. I'll try to get at least one demo video out before circulating the ReNetA Experience Kits next month. Inside the small case will be everything you need. A single instruction sheet will tell you all you need to know. This should do: "Don't Panic! Plug it in and follow instructions on the display. LumenCache: Harmless."

    I saw some YT videos yesterday about #Smarthome #Wiring and it struck me just how complex AC lighting really is compared to DC, and in particular-- LC. 2 way, 3, way, 4 way switches instead of just one switch type. Even more SKUs if you want dimmers, plus they need to be tested for compatibility with the AC drivers. And Tunable White is only available at the expensive end of the custom install spectrum, unless you do wireless. But all the videos had the same thing to say about wireless: "works great when it works." Like, Comment, and Forward the link if you want to see more builders Make all new homes Smart from the Start. What differentiates LumenCache from the rest of the DC lighting pack? Hint: adapts to any voltage and protocol standard per port, any trade can install, price is within budget. Lots of compatible products and growing partner list. ReNetA schedule: https://lnkd.in/ggJ6J6AB
