Building equipment-based communication system

A building equipment-based communication system having:

• at least one building equipment-based device comprising an LED light fixture with an operating device having a communication interface for an IP network connection serving as a master unit;
• multiple slave units, each comprising a sensor and/or actuator, that are connected to the master unit, through an ad hoc network, wherein each slave unit is configured to communicate, directly, or indirectly by means of other slave units, with the master unit via the ad hoc network and at least one slave unit is configured to communicate indirectly by means of the other slave units with the master unit via the ad hoc network;
• and
• wherein the master unit (10) is configured to transmit data received from at least one of the slave units to the IP network via said communication interface;
• wherein the master unit stores a complete pathway to each slave unit connected to the master unit through the ad hoc network;
• and
• wherein at least one slave unit is a sensor and is configured to transmit a detection signal to the master unit when a detection event has been detected by the at least one slave unit and wherein the master unit is configured to change the operating mode of the LED light fixture upon receiving the detection signal, and said changed operating mode comprises at least one of a blinking mode, a color change or dimming upon receiving the detection signal.
