System, method, and apparatus for self-adaptive scheduled lighting control

A computer system comprising:

• a memory comprising executable instructions;
• a processor operatively connected to the memory, the processor configured to execute the executable instructions to perform a method comprising:
• obtaining environmental data and input data from a lighting control device, wherein the environmental data is different than the input data;
• weighting the obtained environmental data and input data relative to previously obtained environmental data and input data to provide weighted environmental data and input data;
• generating, based on at least the environmental data and input data, a new lighting operating schedule, wherein generating the new lighting operating schedule is further based on the weighted environmental data and input data;
• and
• transmitting, to the lighting control device, the new lighting operating schedule.

A lighting control device comprising:

• a memory comprising executable instructions;
• at least one environmental sensor;
• and
• a microcontroller operatively connected to the memory and the at least one environmental sensor, wherein the microcontroller is configured to execute the executable instructions in order to perform a method comprising:
• obtaining environmental data from the at least one environmental sensor;
• obtaining input data;
• transmitting the environmental data and the input data to an external server;
• obtaining, from the external server, a lighting operating schedule based on the environmental data and the input data;
• executing the lighting operating schedule;
• detecting a change to at least one user setting;
• interrupting execution of the lighting operating schedule based on the detected change to the at least one user setting;
• initiating an interruption countdown having a fixed duration;
• monitoring at least one input device for an additional change to the at least one user setting;
• resetting and restarting the interruption countdown if an additional change to the at least one user setting is detected before the fixed duration of the interruption countdown elapses;
• resuming execution of the lighting operating schedule if an additional change to the at least one user setting is not detected before the fixed duration of the interruption countdown elapses;
• and
• not making scheduled changes to the lighting operating schedule until the interruption is canceled.
