Use of position data to determine a group monitor

A first lighting system element comprising:

• a dual-band wireless radio communication interface system configured for two way wireless communication for:
• any-to-many communication, over a wireless lighting control network communication band, of control and systems operations information, during illumination operation and during control network operation over the lighting control network communication band;
• and
• point-to-point communication, over a wireless commissioning network communication band, of information other than the control and systems operations information, concurrently with at least some communications over the lighting control network communication band;
• a processor;
• a memory accessible to the processor;
• and
• programming in the memory which configures the processor to:
• transmit an advertisement packet via the wireless commissioning network communication band to a mobile device;
• establish a commissioning network connection with the mobile device via the wireless commissioning network communication band;
• receive a lighting control group network table listing an entry for each of a plurality of lighting system elements in a lighting control group to establish a lighting control group that communicates over the wireless lighting control network communication band, the lighting control group including the first lighting system element;
• after receiving the lighting control group network table, terminate the commissioning network connection between the first lighting system element and the mobile device;
• select a lighting control group monitor, lighting control group monitor selection based on a location of the lighting control group monitor relative to the other lighting system elements;
• store the lighting control group network table in the memory of the first lighting system element;
• and
• send, via the wireless lighting control network communication band, the lighting control group network table such that each lighting system element of the lighting control group receives the lighting control group network table.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a memory embodying programming instructions, wherein execution of the programming instructions by a processor configures the processor to perform functions, including functions to:

• receive, from each of a plurality of lighting system elements, an advertisement packet via a wireless commissioning network;
• establish a commissioning network connection with each of the lighting system elements via the wireless commissioning network;
• build a lighting control group network table listing an entry for each of the lighting system elements to establish a lighting control group that communicates over a wireless lighting control network, the lighting control group network table including an entry for each of the plurality of lighting system elements;
• select one of the lighting system elements as a lighting control group monitor, the lighting control group monitor being selected based on a location of the lighting control group monitor relative to the other lighting system elements;
• and
• send the lighting control group network table to the lighting control group monitor of the plurality of lighting system elements via the wireless commissioning network to establish the lighting control group.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a memory embodying programming instructions, wherein execution of the programming instructions by a processor configures the processor to perform functions, including functions to:

• transmit an advertisement packet via a wireless commissioning network communication band of a dual-band wireless radio communication interface system configured for two way wireless communication for:
• any-to-many communication, over a wireless lighting control network communication band of the dual-band wireless radio communication interface system, of control and systems operations information, during illumination operation and during control network operation over the lighting control network communication band;
• and
• point-to-point communication, over the wireless commissioning network communication band, of information other than the control and systems operations information, concurrently with at least some communications over the lighting control network communication band;
• establish a commissioning network connection via the wireless commissioning network communication band;
• receive a lighting control group network table listing an entry for each of a plurality of lighting system elements in a lighting control group to establish a lighting control group that communicates over the wireless lighting control network communication band;
• after receiving the lighting control group network table, terminate the commissioning network connection;
• select a lighting control group monitor, lighting control group monitor selection based on a location of the lighting control group monitor relative to the other lighting system elements;
• and
• send, via the lighting control network communication band, the lighting control group network table to the lighting control group monitor.
