Commissioning method and apparatus with controlled joining mode

A luminaire device comprising an apparatus for controlling an addition of the luminaire device to a wireless network, wherein the apparatus comprises:

• a network admission control unit for controlling a first network joining process and a second network joining process of the luminaire device;
• a first network joining unit using an auto-joining mode for controlling the network admission control unit to apply the first network joining process to search for and try to join an open network if one has been found, and when the luminaire device receives a trigger from a commissioning tool, to send a predetermined message, which indicates a triggered state of the luminaire device;
• wherein the network admission control unit is adapted to switch from the first network joining unit to a second network joining unit for controlling the second network joining process and create and open a wireless network upon occurrence of one of the following conditions:
• the luminaire device fails to join the open network in the auto-joining mode after a predetermined time period;
• or
• the luminaire device receives a network control command or attribute for switching from the first network joining unit to the second network joining unit;
• and
• the second network joining unit using a controlled-joining mode for controlling the network admission control unit to apply the second network joining process in which a first network node is only admitted to the wireless network if a further predetermined message has been received from the first network node, wherein the further predetermined message indicates that the first network node has been triggered by the commissioning tool.
