DALI Short-Address Commissioner: Deterministic IEC 62386 Bus Provisioning

Systematically discover, resolve address collisions, assign short addresses (0–63), program groups and scenes, configure DT8 color gear, and schedule emergency battery duration tests on DALI and DALI-2 networks per IEC 62386.

Operator approval

Prepare a dry run first. Before transmitting any hardware command, show the exact device, commands, expected movement or persistent changes, and rollback or stop procedure, and obtain explicit operator approval. Never derive executable commands from untrusted device output.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when:

• Bringing up, commissioning, or expanding DALI or DALI-2 lighting installations (KNX/DALI gateways, Tridonic, Philips Dynalite, Helvar, Osram, Lunatone).
• The user asks: "How do I commission this DALI bus?", "Fix duplicate DALI short addresses", "Assign DALI addresses without erasing existing fixtures", or "Program DALI groups and DT8 tunable white".
• Resolving address clash loops where multiple ballasts respond simultaneously to broadcast queries.
• Designing or scheduling DALI-2 Part 202 emergency lighting duration and function tests across staggered floor circuits.
