URC has released a new circadian lighting module designed to make smart environments more adaptive and wellness-focused.
The company is introducing Total Control Circadian Utility; the first public release under its Automation Engine initiative, which aims to turn static control into intelligent systems.
The new module dynamically adjusts indoor lighting to align with the body’s natural circadian rhythm.
In the company’s earlier AI announcement, URC’s CEO Chang K. Park said: “As automation evolves, our focus remains on helping our dealer network deliver smarter, wellness-oriented environments.
“The Circadian Utility demonstrates how intelligent control can directly improve people’s daily lives while making installation simpler and more profitable for our partners.”
Using location-based data, sunrise and sunset times, live weather conditions, UV index and cloud cover, the system calculates optimal colour temperatures throughout the day.
Cooler, brighter light supports alertness and productivity during daylight hours, while warmer tones in the evening promote healthy sleep cycles.
Unlike traditional scheduled lighting presets, the module continuously adapts to real-world conditions like outdoor light patterns.
The technology also incorporates warm dimming and cool brightening, automatically shifting colour temperature based on light levels.
Delivered as a core module in URC’s Total Control ecosystem, the Circadian Utility supports all lighting devices with adjustable colour temperature in Unified Lighting.
It integrates with URC interfaces like remotes, touchscreens, tabletop controllers and mobile apps, while giving installers control over parameters such as Kelvin ranges and timing overrides.
The module launches with broad integration across URC’s global lighting and device partners including Lutron, Philips Hue, Nanoleaf, Govee and others.
According to URC's “internal development map”, the Circadian Utility represents a step toward wider circadian intelligence in shading, occupancy sensing and predictive scene control.
The Automation Engine builds on the company’s pattern-recognition and AI-assisted programming infrastructure, first demonstrated through its Virtual Assistant for 24/7 dealer support.
