euLINK is an innovative communication gateway that integrates your Smart Home system FIBARO/NICE with various home infrastructure devices > > >
It can also control the flow of energy and maximize self-consumption from RES, in accordance with the Smart Grid Ready standard.
The euLINK gateway is compatible with devices from the following brands (the list is constantly expanding):
euLINK
The euLINK gateway is a hardware communication interface between the FIBARO/NICE system/application and infrastructure devices, such as air conditioning, heating, ventilation, lighting (DALI*), energy storage, electric vehicle chargers, etc.
It can also function as a universal data reader and recorder, collecting data from sensors, meters, and devices measuring various physical quantities.
With meter readings, the euLINK gateway can also influence the operation of home infrastructure devices (photovoltaics, energy storage, heat pumps, etc.) to optimize energy distribution and maximize self-consumption of energy obtained from RES. This is enabled by a dedicated algorithm built into the euLINK gateway, called the Smart Grid Manager.
The euLINK gateway has a modular design, and various peripheral modules (e.g., DALI ports, relay outputs) can be purchased for it, connected to the SPI or I2C ports of the central unit. A euLINK Lite version is also available, which has smaller memory (1GB RAM) and a slightly slower processor.

euLINK DALI Port
The euLINK DALI port can only work with euLINK or euLINK Lite.
Up to 4 euLINK DALI ports can be connected to 1 euLINK. For technical and performance reasons we recommend that up to 2 euLINK DALI ports should be connected to 1 euLINK Lite.
A single euLINK DALI port can control up to 64 DALI lights. Hence, one euLINK with the maximum number of 4 euLINK DALI ports can control maximum 256 DALI lights.
Similarilty, 1 euLINK Lite with 2 euLINK DALI ports can control up to 128 DALI lights.
USING euLINK IS SIMPLY SMART. AS SMART AS YOUR INSTALLATION DESIGN CAN GET:
TRULY SMART & INTEGRATED BUILDING
With euLINK the FIBARO smart building solution is now able to combine the most important management functions of an intelligent building: lights (including DALI), AC, heating, ventilation, recuperation, weather stations, security alarm and many other. This makes a safe, “green”, and energy-efficient living environment. One app to control (almost) everything.
UNIQUE YET UNIVERSAL
The euLINK is effectively a common communication platform for all building installations and objects operating in the IoT (Internet of Things) space. It can combine electrical, teletechnical, HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning), alarm installations, sound systems, monitoring, building security, metering and all others operations in a building. It is THE ONLY SOLUTION on the market dedicated to the FIBARO solution platform providing such a wide functionality.
EASE OF USE: SIMPLE INTERFACE & INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT
The configuration and system management of euLINK is performed via any web browser, eg Google Chrome, FireFox, Safari, etc. It is a convenient solution – you can install the system from anywhere, depending on your preferences and needs.
FIGHTING "BABEL TOWER" BY APPLYING COMMON LANGUAGE
With euLINK we are bringing back the universal language of communication been the “languages” from different manufacturers of the infrastructure devices.
Intuitive Installation - No programming skills required
Yes, no programming skills are needed to install and run the infrastructure devices via the euLINK gateway. Once a device template is selected and configured, the appropriate euLINK driver sends a sequence of API commands, which automatically creates a virtual device – ready to communicate with the euLINK and the related infrastructure device. New infrastructure devices become visible in your FIBARO app (on a smartphone, tablet, computer) and are immediately available for creating scenes.
