Abstract
A system for auto-commissioning a light fixture may position the light fixture based on sensor data received from at least one sensor. In order to focus the light fixture on a target location, the system may vary the position of the light fixture and determine a position of the light fixture where the light level received by the photosensor reaches a determined light level. The system may adjust a light characteristic of light emitted by the light fixture so that the color of light received by the photosensor at the target location matches a target light characteristic, such as color or intensity. The system may determine a focus position and a light characteristic for multiple target locations. The system may auto-commission multiple light fixtures.
Claims20
A system for auto-commissioning a light fixture, the system comprising:
- a photosensor positioned at a target location that receives light generated by the light fixture;
- a sensor module that receives a light level detected at the photosensor;
- a light fixture module that causes a variation in a position of the light fixture;
- and
- an auto-commission module in communication with the sensor module and the light fixture module that determines a focus position of the light fixture at which the light level detected at the photosensor reaches a determined level, wherein the auto-commission module associates the focus position of the light fixture with the target location in a calibration table.
A tangible non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions executable with a processor, the computer-readable medium comprising:
- a sensor module executable with the processor to receive a light level detected at a plurality of photosensors located at a plurality of target locations;
- a light fixture module executable with the processor to selectively cause a variation in position of each one of the light fixtures;
- and
- an auto-commission module in communication with the sensor module and the light fixture module, the auto-commission module executable with the processor to determine a focus position for each one of the light fixtures based on a determination that a determined light level is detected at each one of the photosensors.
A computer-implemented method for auto-commissioning a light fixture, the method comprising:
- receiving, with a processor, a light level detected at a photosensor, wherein the photosensor is located at a target location;
- varying the light level detected at the photosensor by causing a change in position of the light fixture with the processor;
- determining, with the processor, a focus position of the light fixture at which the light level detected at the photosensor reaches a determined light level;
- and
- causing the light fixture to focus on the target location by directing the light fixture to move into the focus position with the processor.
