Abstract: A wireless lighting control system includes a remote server system connected to a wide area network and having software for configuring, monitoring, and controlling lighting fixtures at an installation site. The site includes wireless devices in communication with a gateway via a local wireless network and at least some of the wireless devices are configured for scheduled automation associations, for example, to control one or more lighting fixtures depending on the state of one or more wireless devices having sensors or user interface elements. The associations can activate specific lighting effects, such as power, dimming, and scene control and also are dependent on selected scheduling events such as one or more of a time of day, day of week, and time delay.

Abstract: An illumination system and method is disclosed for maintaining a consistent change in illumination value among a group of illumination devices whenever a change command is manually sent from a keypad to those illumination devices. The consistent change results from maintaining a common start illumination value among not only the group, but also the keypad which controls the group. From the start illumination value, the keypad can then compute an end illumination value depending upon the amount of time that the increase or decrease in illumination value button is depressed and held. Since the start change signal can arrive on different illumination devices within the group depending upon where each illumination device is geographically located, a masking time is reserved after the button is released so that enough time is allocated for each of the illumination devices within that group to arrive at a common end illumination value regardless of their disparate location to the keypad, the number of hops or interference therebetween.

Abstract: A lighting-control processor (100, 300) for controlling operation of an external lighting unit comprises an exchange control unit, which is configured to control exchange of lighting-control information with the lighting unit via a lighting-control interface in accordance with an exchange protocol and to generate and provide exchange monitoring information indicative of an operational status of the exchange control unit. A reset unit is configured to receive a soft-reset command and to cause a soft reset of the lighting-control processor upon receiving the soft-reset command. An exchange watchdog unit is configured to receive the exchange monitoring information, determine validity of the exchange monitoring information in accordance with a predefined validity criterion, and to provide the soft-reset command upon detecting that the received exchange monitoring information is not valid.

Abstract: An illumination system and an operation method thereof are provided. The illumination system includes a first controller and a first lighting device. The first controller is capable of emitting a wireless control signal. The first lighting device is capable of receiving the wireless control signal, adjusting a light emitting state thereof according to the wireless control signal, and accordingly emitting a wireless feedback signal. When the first controller does not receive the wireless feedback signal within a predetermined time or receives a wrong wireless feedback signal after the first controller emitted the wireless control signal to the first lighting device, the first controller emits the wireless control signal again.

Abstract: There is disclosed a sensor which, when integrated into a dimming system, can turn the dimmer on and off, and vice versa. As an example, lights which are connected to the dimmer can be turned on by using the dimmer, the light level can be adjusted to provide a level of illumination desired by an occupant, and the sensor can turn off the lights when the room is vacant. The sensor here disclosed provides sensing functionality to a dimming system, and the sensors can be remotely controlled by other sensors, dimmers and dimmer remotes.
