Abstract
Methods for remotely monitoring a status of a light fixture including monitoring sensor data associated with the light fixture; analyzing the monitored sensor data to determine if the light fixture is operating outside expected parameters associated with the light fixture; and altering the status of the light fixture for a finite period of time if it is determined that the light fixture is operating outside expected parameters are provide. Related monitoring modules and computer program products are also provided.
Claims20
A method for remotely monitoring a status of a light fixture, the method comprising:
- monitoring sensor data associated with the light fixture;
- analyzing the monitored sensor data to determine if the light fixture is operating outside expected parameters associated with the light fixture;
- and
- altering the status of the light fixture for a finite period of time if it is determined that the light fixture is operating outside expected parameters,
- wherein at least one of the monitoring, analyzing and altering is performed by at least one processor.
A monitoring module for remotely monitoring a status of a light fixture, the monitoring module being configured to communicate with a controller associated with the light fixture, the monitor module configured to:
- monitor sensor data associated with the light fixture;
- analyze the monitored sensor data received from the controller associated with the light fixture to determine if the light fixture is operating outside expected parameters associated with the light fixture;
- and
- alter the status of the light fixture for a finite period of time if it is determined that the light fixture is operating outside expected parameters.
A computer program product for remotely monitoring a status of a light fixture, the computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied in the medium, the computer readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code to monitor sensor data associated with the light fixture;
- computer readable program code to analyze the monitored sensor data to determine if the light fixture is operating outside expected parameters associated with the light fixture;
- and
- computer readable program code to alter the status of the light fixture for a finite period of time if it is determined that the light fixture is operating outside expected parameters.
