Systems and methods to manage themes in lighting modules

A lighting device configured to manage a pattern of lighting themes for at least one lamp, the lighting device comprising:

• a microprocessor;
• and
• memory storing instructions that when executed by the microprocessor cause the lighting device to:
• receive a data encoded power signal that provides power and encoded messages that include pattern information, wherein the pattern information includes a request to teach modifications of a lighting theme pattern associated with a lighting theme of a plurality of lighting themes, an indication of the associated lighting theme, and an indication of the modification of the lighting theme pattern;
• decode at least a portion of the encoded message from the received data encoded power signal, the decoded at least a portion including the request to teach modifications, the indication of the associated lighting theme, and the indication of the modification of the lighting theme pattern;
• responsive to the request to teach modifications, update the lighting theme pattern of the associated lighting theme with the modification;
• and
• store the updated lighting theme pattern in the memory.

A method to manage a pattern of lighting themes for a plurality of lamps, the method comprising:

• detecting, at a lighting controller, a modification of a lighting theme pattern of a lighting theme of a plurality of lighting themes, the lighting controller configured to generate a data encoded power signal to provide power and encoded messages that include pattern information, the pattern information including a request to teach modifications of a lighting theme pattern associated with a lighting theme of a plurality of lighting themes, an indication of the associated lighting theme, and an indication of the modification of the lighting theme pattern;
• responsive to the detection, providing with the lighting controller, the data encoded power signal comprising the encoded message that includes the pattern information;
• and
• receiving at a plurality of lighting devices, the data encoded power signal, each lighting device of the plurality of lighting devices comprising memory and a microprocessor;
• with at least one lighting device of the plurality of lighting devices,
• decoding at least a portion of the encoded message from the received data encoded power signal, the decoded at least a portion including the request to teach modifications, the indication of the associated lighting theme, and the indication of the modification of the lighting theme pattern;
• responsive to the request to teach modifications, updating the lighting theme pattern of the associated lighting theme with the modification;
• and
• storing the updated lighting theme pattern in the memory.
