Abstract
According to at least one embodiment, a computer-implemented method to illuminate a room is described. At least one person entering the room may be identified. The room may be illuminated based at least in part on the identifying. An occupancy count for the room may be maintained based at least in part on the illuminating, wherein the occupancy count comprises a number of one or more people present in the room. The room may be darkened based at least in part on the occupancy count for the room reaching a pre-determined count.

A method to illuminate a room, the method comprising:
- detecting a person entering the room comprising at least one light;
- tracking a pattern of room occupancy for the room based at least in part on the detecting;
- determining a darkening time period for the at least one light based at least in part on the pattern of room occupancy;
- and
- adjusting the at least one light after an expiration of the determined darkening time.
An automation system to illuminate a room comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
- detect a person entering the room comprising at least one light;
- track a pattern of room occupancy for the room based at least in part on the detecting;
- determine a darkening time period for the at least one light based at least in part on the pattern of room occupancy;
- and
- adjust the at least one light after an expiration of the determined darkening time.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor to:
- detect a person entering a room comprising at least one light;
- track a pattern of room occupancy for the room based at least in part on the detecting;
- determine a darkening time period for the at least one light based at least in part on the pattern of room occupancy;
- and
- adjust the at least one light after an expiration of the determined darkening time.
