Public lighting represents a large part of the energy consumption of towns and cities.Efficient management of public lighting can entail significant energy savings. This work presents asmart system for managing public lighting networks based on wireless communication and the DALIprotocol. Wireless communication entails significant economic savings, as there is no need to installnew wiring and visual impacts and damage to the facades of historical buildings in city centers areavoided. The DALI protocol uses bidirectional communication with the ballast, which allows itsstatus to be controlled and monitored at all times. The novelty of this work is that it tackles all aspectsrelated to the management of public lighting: a standard protocol, DALI, was selected to control theballast, a wireless node based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard with a DALI interface was designed,a network layer that considers the topology of the lighting network has been developed, and lastly,some user-friendly applications for the control and maintenance of the system by the technical crewsof the different towns and cities have been developed.
