Abstract
Described is a lighting system that includes a lighting device and a switching device. The switching device controls application of lighting power to the lighting device. Further, the lighting system includes an automation system that includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon. The instructions are executable by a processing device to receive a lighting profile selection. Additionally, the instructions are executable to cycle the switching device to transmit a binary signal to the lighting device. The binary signal identifies the lighting profile selection and instructs the lighting device to emit a lighting profile identified by the binary signal.
Claims20
A lighting system, comprising:
- a lighting device;
- a switching device configured to control application of lighting power to the lighting device;
- an automation system comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions executable by a processing device to:
- receive a lighting profile selection;
- and
- cycle the switching device to transmit a binary signal to the lighting device, wherein the binary signal identifies the lighting profile selection and instructs the lighting device to emit a lighting profile identified by the binary signal.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at an automation system of a lighting system, a light profile indication;
- cycling a power switching device to generate a binary signal representing the light profile indication;
- receiving, at a lighting device of the lighting system, the binary signal;
- and
- controlling the lighting device to emit a light profile associated with the light profile indication.
A lighting device, comprising:
- a light configured to receive a lighting voltage;
- a lighting controller comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions executable by a processing device to:
- receive a binary signal from the lighting voltage;
- decode the binary signal to identify a lighting profile selection of the light;
- and
- control the light to emit the lighting profile selection.
