Abstract
A multi-zone control system is provided. The multi-zone control system may include a system unit, zone wiring, a plurality of zone connection terminals and a first microcontroller. Each zone connection terminal may link at least one motion sensors and at least one security device to a first microcontroller. The first microcontroller may receive input when the at least one motion sensor detects movement of an occupant so as to activate the respective security device. A user may single-handedly install, operate and modify the multi-zone control system.
Claims10
A multi-zone control system comprising:
- a system unit comprising a power source, a first microcontroller and a plurality of zone connection terminals, wherein each zone connection terminal comprises a security device connection terminal and a motion sensor connection terminal;
- and
- at least one security device and at least one motion sensor connected to the first microcontroller through one of the plurality of zone connection terminals, thereby linking the at least one motion sensor and the at least one security device, whereby the at least one motion sensor signals the first microcontroller when detecting motion, and the first microcontroller activates the at least one security device linked to the at least one motion sensor.
A method of constructing a lighting system comprising:
- providing a system unit comprising a power source, a first microcontroller and a plurality of zone connection terminals, wherein each zone connection terminal comprises a security device connection terminal and a motion sensor connection terminal
- providing at least one security device and at least one motion sensor linked together by the first microcontroller through each zone connection terminal, whereby the at least one motion sensor signals the first microcontroller when detecting motion, and the first microcontroller activates the at least one security device linked to the at least one motion sensor;
- and mounting the at least one security device and the at least one motion sensor within a zone of interest.
