Abstract: A luminaire may include a universal translator and interface system. The universal translator and interface system may include one or more universal interfaces that are configured to removably and communicably couple one or more control devices and/or a building lighting control system to the luminaire. Further, the universal translator and interface system may include a universal translator engine that is communicably coupled to the one or more universal interfaces. The universal translator engine is configured to translate data in a first format associated with a first communication protocol to a second format associated with a second communication protocol to enable interoperability between the control devices, the building lighting control system, and the luminaire that may have different communication protocols that are incompatible with each other.
