your trusted partner for controls solutions
At Chris Controls, we believe that your construction project deserves the best control solutions available on the market. That's why we design and deploy a custom control system for each project that utilizes a comprehensive range of innovative products that incorporate industry standard open communication protocols whenever possible.
What makes open standard protocols better is the addition of flexibility, versatility and cutting edge technology. As the proliferation of smart devices and Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to expand, integration of smart devices into larger networks is more important than ever. By focusing on open standard protocols we provide the ability to expand, integrate, and improve a system over time, rather than being forced to start over or add another separate control system when changes are required.
We take pride in working with smaller innovative manufacturers that strive to exceed industry standards. Below are our preferred manufacturers; however, Chris Controls can consult and assist on any system in the industry.

parts and pieces
Audio Activated Communication Devices
Patented audio activated wireless communication between any two smart devices using only sound waves. Information collected from a smart device or any unique sound such as a gunshot can be used for counting, identifying, tagging, and marketing. Delivered information to a smart device can be used for advertising and delivery of location specific data. Ethernet and Wirepas transferable data.
Load Controllers, Occupancy Sensors and Switches
Wireless and wired load controllers, occupancy sensors, and switches available in many different protocols in industry standard switch and ceiling mounting configurations. Ingy, Casambi, EnOcean, Bluetooth LE, and DALI compatible.
Wireless DMX Controllers
Wireless communication eliminates complex DMX wiring, integration, and programming that is highly problematic for the deployment of Tunable White and RGBW architectural lighting applications. By converting DMX to a wireless signal at each fixture or zone, color control is now seamlessly integrated within the architectural lighting control system. Casambi and Bluetooth LE compatible.
Occupancy & People Counting Sensors
Single and dual technology wireless and sensors with traditional Passive Infrared (PIR) and innovative thermal imagery technologies that detect occupancy, count the number of people, and track their specific location within an area. Ingy, Casambi, Wirepas, and DALI compatible.
Luminaire Level Lighting Controllers, Drivers and OEM Solutions
The cost of Luminaire Level Lighting Controls (LLLC) can be dramatically reduced by integrating a wireless radio within the LED driver or LED array within the light fixture. Eulum's OEM Integrated solutions create universally compatible wireless light fixtures. Ingy, Bluetooth LE, Casambi, and DALI compatible.
Wireless & Wired DALI Sensors and Control Devices
The worldwide standard for DALI compatible wired control devices, drivers, and network controllers. Casambi compatible wireless load controllers, line voltage occupancy sensors, and interface devices.
Self-powered Wireless Devices
Wireless switches without batteries that harvest power from the push of the switch that controls the lights. Wireless occupancy sensors and other devices with integrated solar collectors and wireless load controllers. EnOcean, Bluetooth LE, and Zigbee compatible.
Phase Dimming Load Controllers & Emergency Control Devices
Phase dimming load controllers and emergency control devices in industry standard mounting configurations. Casambi & Bluetooth LE wireless, and 0-10v wired compatibility.
Wireless Lighting, HVAC, and Infrastructure Products
Open standard, comprehensive ecosystem of wireless lighting, HVAC, plug load and infrastructure products. EnOcean, Zigbee, and wired DALI compatible.
