Embodiment Construction

[0024] Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to lighting systems connected over a wireless mesh network such that individual light sources are controllable using signals sent over the wireless mesh network. As a result, the lighting system allows control of each light source (eg on, off or at an intermediate brightness level) independently of the other light sources and independent of the electrical wiring of the space. Using a lighting system, the lighting of a large space (eg, a space illuminated by many separate light sources) can be customized such that each light source lighting the space has a personalized light level for each of many different user-defined scenes. Large spaces that may particularly benefit from lighting systems include commercial spaces (eg, offices), industrial spaces (eg, warehouses, factories), and other public spaces (eg, theaters, shopping malls, schools and universities, government buildings).

Abstract

A lighting system is described in which light sources are controlled using signals sent over a wireless mesh network. During a commissioning process, a user interface may present a representation of nodes (e.g., light sources, sensors, controllers) that are broadcasting wireless advertising signals. In response to a selection of a particular node, a wireless message may be sent to instruct the selected node to provide a visual indication of its presence, such as a flashing light. The visual indication may enable a user to discern the physical location of the node, such that each node may be added to the mesh network and, in some instances, to a group of nodes. The interface may also enable the definition of scenes, where each scene describes the brightness level or other operating characteristics of particular light source(s) and / or group(s) of light sources when the scene is active.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Patent Application Serial No. 15 / 393,558, filed December 29, 2016, which claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 318,515, filed April 5, 2016. The disclosure of the earlier application is considered part of the disclosure of the present application, and its entire content is incorporated into the present application. Background technique [0003] Lighting controls in a typical commercial space typically offer two settings: on and off. All lights in a room can be controlled as a unit from a wall switch, or different banks of lights can be controlled by different dedicated switches. Additionally, the electrical systems in many commercial buildings are not compatible with standard dimmer switches; therefore, dimming often requires specialized wiring. This can over-light some areas while under-lighting others. Also, lights stay on in unoccupied spaces, or s...
