Wireless control systems and methods for aircraft seating systems

An electromechanical actuation system for passenger-initiated adjustment of a plurality of aircraft components, the electromechanical actuation system comprising:

• a plurality of actuators for allowing passenger-initiated adjustment of the plurality of aircraft components, wherein the plurality of aircraft components comprise at least one of a passenger seat, a lighting fixture, and a suite partition;
• a plurality of control units, each control unit including
• short range wireless communication circuitry for communicating with additional control units of the plurality of control units, and
• control circuitry for causing actuation of one or more associated actuators of the plurality of aircraft suite actuators,
• wherein a first control unit of the plurality of control units comprises a user interface for receiving a plurality of passenger input commands;
• wherein the control circuitry of the first control unit is configured to
• initiate wireless communication links with a first portion of the plurality of control units to establish a short-range wireless communication network, wherein a second portion of the plurality of control units is in communication with the first control unit via a bridge unit of the second portion of the plurality of control units,
• receive a passenger input command of the plurality of passenger input commands,
• communicate, responsive to the passenger input command, one or more actuation commands to one or more control units of the first portion of the plurality of control units via the wireless communication links, and
• receive, from at least one of the one or more control units, one or more status/position messages communicating information regarding movement of corresponding actuators of the plurality of actuators caused by the at least one control unit.
