    Abstract: A lighting control system for operating lighting in a room is provided. The lighting control system may comprise a load controller, sensors, and battery powered lighting control devices, such as switches, dimmers, and/or keypads. The load controller is configured for controlling the operation of a lighting load in response to messages received from the lighting control devices and sensors over a wireless network. The battery operated lighting control device is configured for detecting a low battery level, transmitting a low battery message to the load controller, and entering into a low battery mode during which it ceases transmitting any messages to the load controller until the battery is replaced. In response to the low battery message received from at least one lighting control device, the load controller is configured for entering into a low battery mode during which it maintains the lighting load turned on. The load controller is configured for exiting the low battery mode and resuming normal operation upon receipt of a subsequent message from the at least one lighting control device.

    Abstract: Devices, systems, software, and methods for control of light emitting diodes (LEDs) via an LED driver circuit that receives a dimmed AC input signal from a dimmer and generates an output signal to power and dim an LED element. The LED driver circuit comprises a dimmed input sense circuit, a microcontroller, and a power supply circuit. The power supply circuit generates a power supply from the dimmed AC input signal for powering the LED driver circuit. The dimmed input sense circuit detects an incoming duty cycle (Din) of the dimmed AC input signal. The microcontroller stores one or more dimming level parameters, receives the detected incoming duty cycle (Din) from the dimmed input sense circuit, and generates an output duty cycle (Dout) based on the detected incoming duty cycle (Din) and the one or more dimming level parameters. The LED driver circuit generates the output signal using the generated output duty cycle (Dout) for powering the LED element at a generated dimming level.
