Abstract: Two-layer lighting control network systems and methods are disclosed. Embodiments include client lighting devices having a first type of radio for receiving wireless control signals, a lighting controller including a second type of radio, and a hub lighting device having a second type of radio for wireless communication with the lighting controller and a first type of radio for communicating with the client lighting devices. The first wireless network includes the first type of radio of hub lighting devices and the first type of radio of client lighting devices, and the second wireless network includes the second type of radio of the lighting controller and the second type of radio of the hub lighting devices. In at least one embodiment, client lighting devices are lamps having the first type of radio. In other embodiments, hub lighting devices are light fixtures having the first and second types of radios.

Abstract: Circadian stimulus illumination control systems and methods are disclosed. Embodiments include a control system providing selection of a preset circadian stimulus profile, including a desired circadian stimulus level for setpoint times, for example, including a color temperature and brightness level for each setpoint time to simulate local natural sunlight conditions or a different selected lighting and/or stimulus condition. The control system wirelessly transmits information for the setpoints of the profile to lighting devices, which incrementally transition the color temperature and dimming of the lighting device between the profile setpoints.

Abstract: Illumination control systems and methods, including those for influencing circadian rhythm, are disclosed. Embodiments include a control device capable of obtaining desired color temperature (e.g., local daylight) information, generating a color temperature value, and outputting a signal including the color temperature value. Embodiments further include a server having means for obtaining at least one of geographical location information and time of day information relative to the server, a processor to determine local daylight information, and a wireless transmitter to broadcast the signal within a site system. Embodiments further include one or more lighting control devices to control lighting devices, each lighting control having a wireless receiver to continuously listen for and receive the signal broadcasted by the server, and a lighting driver to change the lighting output of the coupled lighting device according to the detected signal.

Abstract: Wireless lighting control systems and methods for controlling the illumination of one or more light fixtures are disclosed, including self-commissioning of hardware. Embodiments include a server connected to a wide area network and having software for configuring, monitoring, and controlling lighting fixtures at a site. The control system also includes a wireless gateway at the site initiating communication with the server via a cellular network. Wireless devices initiate communication with the wireless gateway via a mesh network and each wireless device can be wired to control at least one lighting fixture. Once hardware of the site system (e.g., a gateway and/or any device) is mounted or positioned in the appropriate location and powered on, the hardware will self-commission by automatically initiating communications. The gateway will initiate communication and identify itself to server system. When the devices are powered on, they identify themselves to the gateway and the gateway can inform the server system of the devices.

Abstract: A wireless device control system includes a remote server connected to a wide area network and having control software for configuring, monitoring, and controlling devices at a site. The wireless device control system also includes a wireless gateway located at the site and configured to communicate with the remote server via cellular communication. Control devices are in wireless communication with the wireless gateway via a mesh network, with each of the control devices being wired to control one of the site devices. A computer device is connected to the wide area network and has an interface enabling a user to access the server control software. Control instructions entered on the remote server through the interface are communicated from the remote server to the wireless gateway and then from the wireless gateway to the control devices.
