About bmLINK Tool
The app bmLINK Tool is to group bmLINK devices or other compatible lighting controls using standard Bluetooth components into a Bluetooth Mesh network.
The app enables the commissioning of the devices on site after a commissioning plan has been created.
For the app bmLINK Tool is an iOS device with iOS 12+ and activated Bluetooth function required as well as an existing Internet connection (WiFi or mobile).
The app bmLINK Tool also provides basic project management features and enables the user to assign, configure and monitor the bmLINK devices.
The bmLINK Sender and Receiver devices are made to extend standard DALI lighting control systems with a standard Bluetooth mesh connection to DALI Luminaires.

• Faster configuration with parallel connections
Devices can now be configured via multiple parallel connections. In certain configuration scenarios, this can reduce the total configuration time by even up to 5x.
• Light levels for scenes A and B configurable in the profile
Light levels for scenes A and B can now be defined directly on the profile screen during the remote planning/pre-commissioning stage.
• Simplified over-the-air update process
The OTAU screen now displays each device’s firmware version number and informs how many devices within each zone require an update.
• Improved sensor calibration in projects with zone linking
Once the calibration process is completed within a given zone, it will no longer restore automatic control in the zones that are linked to that zone.
• Current light sensor lux level reading
Whenever you open the sensor panel, the app will now ask the sensor about its current lux level reading and display that information on the screen.
