Abstract
A smart lamp comprising: a lamp; and a processor configured to operate said lamp, said processor having at least active and standby modes of operation, in said active mode, said processor uses a first communication protocol having a first power consumption, and, in said standby mode, said processor uses a second communication protocol having a second power consumption, wherein said first power consumption is significantly higher than said second power consumption.
Claims21
A smart lamp comprising:
- a lamp;
- and
- a processor configured to operate said lamp, said processor having at least active and standby modes of operation, in said active mode, said processor uses a first communication protocol having a first power consumption, and, in said standby mode, said processor uses a second communication protocol having a second power consumption, wherein said first power consumption is significantly higher than said second power consumption.
A device connected to a powerline, comprising:
- functional circuitry;
- a connection to said powerline;
- a processor configured to operate said functional circuitry, said processor having at least active and standby modes of operation, in said active mode, said processor uses a first communication protocol having a first power consumption, and, in said standby mode, said processor uses a second communication protocol having a second power consumption, wherein said first power consumption is significantly higher than said second power consumption.
A lamp configured for electrical connection to a powerline, said lamp comprising:
- at least a first and second chipset associated with first and second communication protocols, respectively, said first chipset consuming more power when enabled than said second chipset when enabled;
- a detector configured for connection to said powerline;
- and
- a processor configured to selectively enable one of said first and second chipsets based upon at least one trigger event on said powerline being detected by said detector.
