We are in search of a product we’re hoping you can help us find:

We are searching for a programmable dimmer controller to use as the dimmer control input to a Meanwell LDH-45B-350 WDA or LDH-45B-350W

The dimmer signal type doesn’t matter, could be DALI, PWM, or analog

We’re running the system from a 24VDC nominal battery bank, so we’re looking for a programmable dimmer control that would be powered by approximately 22 to 30 VDC.

For example, we would like to program 2 or 3 different dim levels throughout the night, the fixture might run at 90% bright from 5PM to 10PM, then drop to 30% bright until 4 AM, then com back up to 80% bright from 4AM until we turn it off using the dimmer control, photocell switch, or timer at 8 AM.

We need to connect only one Meanwell driver to each dimmer controller.

Most sites do not have internet, so an internet of things (iot) approach where the program schedules are stored in the cloud doesn’t work.

Any Ideas for an off-the shelf programmable Dimmer control powered by DC input that could provide DALI, PWM, or 0-10 VDC to one of these drivers?

Lunatone (a company in Europe) might have something suitable.

This is a timer module that can control dimming of drivers on a DALI bus:

You would need to program it using an interface module with a USB port or a Bluetooth modem, etc. :

This is a module to supply a regulated voltage with current limiting to the DALI bus using an 18VDC - 48VDC source:
The timer and interface modules use the DALI bus for their power.

Some additional info:

It appears that most of the vendors of these products are in Europe like the one below:
