Self-test procedure for a control device

A lighting control method, comprising:

• reversibly, selectively, transitioning, by lighting control circuitry, an operatively coupled lighting device between a first operating state and a second operating state;
• executing, by the lighting control circuitry, a self-test procedure to measure an electrical noise level at the communication interface circuitry;
• comparing, by the lighting control circuitry, the measured electrical noise level with data representative of a threshold electrical noise level;
• causing, by the lighting control circuitry, an indicator light source to provide a first output illumination color responsive to the determination that the measured electrical noise level exceeds the threshold electrical noise level;
• and
• receiving, by the lighting control circuitry via communicatively coupled communications interface circuitry, a discovery message that includes an identifier associated with an interrogation device;
• in response to receipt of the discovery message:
• determining, by the lighting control circuitry, a signal strength (RSSI) of the received discovery message;
• and
• communicating, by the lighting control circuitry via a communicatively coupled first network, the RSSI of the received discovery message and the identifier associated with the interrogation device to a system controller.

A non-transitory, machine-readable, storage device that includes instructions that, when executed by lighting control circuitry, cause the lighting control circuitry to:

• reversibly, selectively, transition an operatively coupled lighting device between a first operating state and a second operating state;
• execute a self-test procedure to measure an electrical noise level at the communication interface circuitry;
• compare the measured electrical noise level with data representative of a threshold electrical noise level;
• cause a communicatively coupled indicator light source to provide a first output illumination color responsive to the determination that the measured electrical noise level exceeds the threshold electrical noise level;
• and
• receive, via communicatively coupled communications interface circuitry, a discovery message that includes an identifier associated with an interrogation device that transmitted the discovery message;
• in response to receipt of the discovery message:
• determining, by the lighting control circuitry, a signal strength (RSSI) of the received discovery message;
• and
• communicating, via a communicatively coupled first network, the RSSI of the received discovery message and the identifier associated with the interrogation device to a system controller.
