Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure are related to systems and methods for lighting controls and sensors. Embodiments described herein may utilize a user interface and/or embedded systems using radio transceivers to allow a user to set-up and control real-time dimming of light fixtures. Furthermore, using the systems, the user may be able to remotely monitor and set-up 24 hour lighting schedules for a plurality of overlapping light fixtures.
Claims20
A system to remotely control lighting devices comprising:
- a plurality of lighting modules corresponding to a plurality of light fixtures, wherein each lighting module has a fixture unique identifier;
- a control gateway that is communicatively coupled to a control server over a first type of network and to the plurality of lighting modules over a second type of network, the control gateway being configured to receive commands over the first type of network to change light settings associated with the plurality of light fixtures, and being configured to transmit the commands over the second type of network to the plurality of lighting modules, wherein the control server is positioned remotely from the control gateway and the plurality of lighting modules
A method to remotely control lighting devices comprising:
- positioning a plurality of lighting modules corresponding to a plurality of light fixtures within a location, wherein each lighting module has a fixture unique identifier;
- communicatively coupling a control gateway to a to a control server over a first type of network;
- communicatively coupling the control gateway to the plurality of lighting modules over a second type of network;
- receiving, at the control gateway, commands over the first type of network to change light settings associated with the plurality of light fixtures;
- transmitting, by the control gateway, the commands over the second type of network to the plurality of lighting modules, wherein the control server is positioned remotely from the control gateway and the plurality of lighting modules
