    摘要: Registering or reconfiguring a battery-powered device in a network, comprising monitoring the occurrence of an event in the device during its idle state, i.e. the occurrence of an idle interval time-out during which the device is held in the idle state. When the device has detected said event, it is put into an initiation state for the duration of an initiation interval in which the device initiates a registration procedure. If the initiation interval ends without proper response to the initiation of the registration procedure, the idle state during idle intervals alternates with the initiation state during initiation intervals until the device has entered the state of normal operation.

    摘要: Commissioning a coded light source in a lighting system is accomplished by using a remote controller. When an identification of a light source is successful, a control message is sent to that light source to at least partly switch off its light emission. Thus the light contribution of the identified light source is suppressed. Thereby the chance of coded light from an already identified light source colliding with identifiers comprised in coded light emitted by other light sources is reduced. When no more coded light is detectable, a sensitivity of the remote controller can be increased until coded light again is detectable. Further light sources can then be identified and commissioned.

    摘要: Systems and methods for forming a local network (150) include determining which controllable (120) and controlling (170, 180) devices are located within a local area (110). A controller (130) is configured to communicate with the controllable and controlling devices and to include local devices to the local network (150) associated with the local area, while preventing remaining devices from being associated with the local network. The controller may be further configured to automatically reconfigure itself and/or the local controlling device(s) to properly be commissioned to control the local controllable device(s), such as based on the number and/or type of the local controlling devices allowed to join the local network. The controller distinguishes and determines the local controllable and controlling devices by RF signals, IR signals and/or sonar signals, such as based on time of flight and received signal strength of the RF signals.
