Low power battery mode for wireless-enabled device prior to commissioning

A battery powered wireless wall switch for lighting control, comprising:

• a battery;
• a processor;
• an radio frequency (RF) transceiver;
• and
• a button for user activation,
• wherein the processor is configured to operate the wall switch to:
• before commissioning for normal operation, remain in a deep sleep mode that consumes minimal power from the battery until the processor receives a trigger signal from the button,
• awake from the deep sleep mode to consume power from the battery when the trigger signal is received,
• perform wireless commissioning of the wall switch by powering the RF transceiver and wirelessly transmitting a beacon to a commissioning device and wirelessly receiving a commissioning message from the commissioning device to enable the wall switch to wirelessly communicate with a luminaire or other element of a wirelessly controlled lighting system, and
• provide a normal operations mode for wireless control of the luminaire through the RF transceiver, after the commissioning is performed.

A battery powered wireless occupancy sensor for lighting control, comprising:

• a battery;
• a processor;
• an radio frequency (RF) transceiver;
• and
• a detector configured to detect motion,
• wherein the processor is configured to operate the occupancy sensor to:
• before commissioning for normal operation, remain in a deep sleep mode that consumes minimal power from the battery until the processor receives a trigger signal indicating the detector has detected a predetermined stimulus from a user,
• awake from the deep sleep mode to consume power from the battery when the trigger signal is received,
• perform wireless commissioning of the occupancy sensor by powering the RF transceiver and wirelessly transmitting a beacon to a commissioning device and wirelessly receiving a commissioning message from the commissioning device to enable the wireless occupancy sensor to wirelessly communicate with a luminaire or other element of a wirelessly controlled lighting system, and
• provide a normal operations mode for wireless control of the luminaire through the RF transceiver after the commissioning is performed in response to sensing of occupancy via the detector.
