First DALI-2 devices implement Part 105 for firmware updates

November 20, 2023

The first certified DALI-2 products that enable firmware updates via the DALI interface are now listed in the online DALI Alliance Product Database.

Firmware updates are specified in Part 105 of the IEC 62386 standard. DALI-2 certification of devices implementing Part 105, including control gear, application controllers and input devices such as sensors, was introduced earlier this year.

Part 105 defines how firmware in a DALI device can be updated after production or shipping of the product, or in the field. Updates are made via the DALI interface. This can be done either to fix bugs and improve performance, or to add new features.
