The invention relates to central controller (3) for remote communication with a plurality of network controllers, NC, (20) the plurality of NCs (20) being provided in communication nodes (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) and being configured for near field communication with each other, the central controller (3) being configured to be in communicative connection with each NC of the plurality of NCs. The central controller (3) comprises a data processing device (32) configured to receive ID and position information and a list of communicable neighboring NCs from each NC (20), based on the received ID information, position information and lists of communicable neighboring NCs identify at least one NC of the plurality of NCs as providing accurate position information and use the thus identified NC as an anchor point NC (20a), and identify missing and/or position drifting NCs by analyzing the received ID and position information and lists of communicable neighboring NCs. The invention further relates to a lighting control system (1) comprising such a central controller (3).
A central controller for remote communication with a plurality of network controllers (NC), the plurality of NCs being provided in communication nodes and being configured for near field communication with each other, the central controller being configured to be in communicative connection with each NC of the plurality of NCs, the central controller comprising:
A method for identifying missing network controllers (NC) the plurality of NCs being provided in communication nodes and being configured for near field communication with each other, the method comprising:
