    Abstract: A presence simulation system comprises a user interface (32), a profile generator (34) and a presence simulator (35). The profile generator (34) is configured to generate in electronic storage a plurality of virtual occupant profiles (22) according to profile creation inputs received via the user interface (32), each virtual occupant profile comprising user-defined virtual occupant identity data. The presence simulator (35) is configured to generate a sequence of simulated control actions, by applying a behaviour simulation algorithm to the user-defined virtual occupant identity data of the electronically-stored virtual occupant profile. A lighting controller (40) configured to vary at least one characteristic of light emitted by at least one luminaire according to the sequence of simulated control actions.

    Abstract: A method, device and computer program product for (near) synchronous control of networked lighting devices is presented. In networked lighting systems, a control command sent to the networked lighting devices is limited in length and as such it is not always possible to include the identifiers of the networked lighting devices, as well as the color point and/or intensity level they should change to in a single control command. However, sending multiple control commands in sequence can result in the undesired effect that these lighting devices change light output out-of-sync. The invention proposes to determine an approximate color point and/or approximate intensity level in, respectively, a color space and/or intensity space of a lower resolution. This allows a control command to comprise the identifiers of the networked lighting devices, as well as the approximate color point and/or approximate intensity level for (near) synchronous control of the networked lighting devices.

The lighting device includes at least a transceiver (21, 31) coupled to a load (22, 32), said transceiver (21, 31) comprising at least one identification information and at least one security information wherein said security information is used for securing the communication with the transceiver (21, 31). The remote database storing the identification information and an associated identification information for each lighting device. The controller (1) comprises a first interface (11) for a first communication with the transceiver (21, 31), and a second interface (12) for a second communication with a database (4). The controller (1) is adapted to retrieve the identification information of the transceiver (21, 31) through the first interface, to retrieve the associated identification information from the remote database through the second interface, and to use the security information to secure the first communication.

    Abstract: A control device (3) for controlling a lighting system (19) over a communication system comprising one or more networks, the lighting system comprising at least one lighting device (1a, 1b, 1c). The control device comprises: multiple transmitters (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e) each for transmitting to the lighting system via a different respective interface (7a, 7b, 16, 17, 51) of the communication system; A and a controller (95) configured to use each of a plurality of the transmitters to transmit a respective message to the lighting system via a different respective path, each path comprising a different respective one of the interfaces and not Bluetooth RFID tag Wi-Fi ZigBee Cellular any of the others. Each of the messages invokes feedback from the lighting system to the control device if received and/or if executed by the lighting system. The controller compare the paths in dependence on the feedback, and based thereon to select which of the interfaces to use to transmit subsequent lighting control commands to the lighting system for controlling the lighting system.

    Abstract: Each of multiple components, including a first lamp, is operable in a first mode in which it appears to a commissioning tool as awaiting commissioning, and a second mode in which it does not appear as such to the commissioning tool. Each component begins a commissioning process in the first mode. The first lamp then triggers a second one or more of the components (e.g. other lamps) to switch to the second mode, so that during commissioning the second components will not to appear to the commissioning tool as awaiting commissioning. Following this, the first lamp operates in the first mode so that it appears to the commissioning tool as awaiting commissioning (thereby representing the first and second lamps jointly). The first lamp also interacts with the commissioning tool on behalf of the second components, in order for the first lamp and second components to be commissioned as a group.

    Abstract: A presence mimicking system comprises a first lighting system (1A) arranged to illuminate a first environment and a second lighting system (1B) arranged to illuminate a second environment. A computer system configured to receive from the first lighting system an indication of a sequence of illumination settings, at least some of which have been applied to the first lighting system by at least one user when present in a first environment illuminated thereby. The computer system is configured, in response to a mimic instruction, to mimic in the unoccupied second environment the presence of the at least one user of the first environment, by applying a matching sequence of illumination settings to the second lighting system, wherein the computer system is configured to select the first lighting system for use in the presence mimicking from a set of candidate lighting systems, by comparing a profile of the second lighting system with profiles of the candidate lighting systems.

    Abstract: A lighting system controller, a lighting system control method and software program product are provided for controlling a lighting device based on a trigger signal, such as a presence detection signal from a presence sensor. Instead of switching the lighting device to a fixed light setting at all times when the trigger signal is received, the initial light output of the lighting device is determined. The lighting device is then controlled according to a fixed light setting (e.g. white light at full brightness) if the determined initial light output is within a predetermined range, and else it is controlled according to a function relative to the determined initial light output. For example, if the lighting device is participating in a romantic scene emitting predominantly red light the lighting device may switch to reddish white light instead of the full white light and/or the brightness level of the light is lowered compared to the fixed light setting.
