Visible light communication pilot light and indicator light

A method comprising:

• detecting one or more operational parameters within a first electrical enclosure of a plurality of electrical enclosures using one or more of an identification data module, an electrical sensor, and an enclosure environment sensor included in the electrical enclosure;
• receiving, by a pilot light module of the first electrical enclosure, information indicative of the one or more operational parameters from one or more of the identification data module, the electrical sensor, and the enclosure environment sensor, wherein the pilot light module comprises (i) a pilot light and (ii) a communication module;
• determining, by the communication module of the pilot light module, a visual communication signal based on the information received from one or more of the identification data module, the electrical sensor, and the enclosure environment sensor;
• receiving, from a central controller of the plurality of electrical enclosures, an instruction to enter a maintenance mode;
• responsive to receiving the instruction, determining that a second electrical enclosure is driving a second visual communication signal;
• and
• driving the visual communication signal via the pilot light of the pilot light module based on determining that the second electrical enclosure is driving the second visual communication signal, wherein the visual communication signal indicates the one or more operational parameters within the electrical enclosure.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, perform functions comprising:

• detecting one or more operational parameters within an electrical enclosure using one or more of an identification data module, an electrical sensor, and an enclosure environment sensor included in the electrical enclosure;
• receiving, by a pilot light module of the electrical enclosure, information indicative of the one or more operational parameters from one or more of the identification data module, the electrical sensor, and the enclosure environment sensor, wherein the pilot light module comprises (i) a pilot light and (ii) a communication module;
• determining, by the communication module of the pilot light module, a visual communication signal based on the information received from one or more of the identification data module, the electrical sensor, and the enclosure environment sensor;
• and
• driving a visual communication signal via the pilot light of the pilot light module, wherein the visual communication signal indicates the one or more operational parameters within the electrical enclosure, wherein the visual communication signal causes a central controller to, based on the received indications of the values for the one or more parameters, provide an instruction to inspect the one or more electrical components within the electrical enclosure.
