Lighting control system with light show overrides

A method for adjusting a respective parameter value of one or more parameters of an electrical load as a function of a show time equal to a current time of day, the one or more parameters comprising color temperature, intensity, spectrum, temperature, load state, volume, or position of a window covering, the method comprising:

• receiving an input comprising a request to change the show time backwards or forwards with respect to the current time of day;
• determining the current time of day in response to receiving the input;
• adjusting the show time backwards or forwards with respect to the current time of day based on the received input;
• determining each respective parameter value of the one or more parameters at the adjusted show time;
• and
• controlling the electrical load by adjusting each respective parameter value of the one or more parameters of the electrical load to the determined one or more parameter values.

A control device for controlling one or more parameter values of an electrical load as a function of a show time equal to a current time of day, wherein the one or more parameters each have a respective parameter value which changes over time, the control device comprising:

• a communication circuit configured to communicate with an input device;
• a load control circuit for controlling the one or more parameters of the electrical load;
• a control circuit operably connected to the communication circuit and the load control circuit, wherein the control circuit is configured to:
• receive, via the communication circuit from the input device, a command to adjust the show time backwards or forwards with respect to the current time of day;
• determine an adjusted show time based on the received command and the current time of day;
• adjust the show time to the adjusted show time based on the determination such that the show time does not equal the current time of day;
• determine each respective parameter value of the one or more parameters at the adjusted show time;
• and
• cause the load control circuit to control, in response to receiving the message, the electrical load by adjusting each respective parameter value of the one or more parameters to the determined respective parameter value.

A non-transitory, machine-readable storage device that includes instructions that, when executed by electrical load controller control circuitry, cause the control circuitry to:

• transition each respective value of one or more parameters of an electrical load device operatively coupled to the electrical load controller to a value corresponding to a show time, wherein the show time initially corresponds to a current time of day;
• receive, via a communicatively coupled communication circuit, an input that includes data indicative of a command to change the show time earlier or later than the current time of day;
• determine an adjusted show time based on the received command and the current time of day;
• transition the show time to the adjusted show time based on a determination that the adjusted show time does not correspond to the current time of day;
• determine a respective adjusted value of each of the one or more parameters at the adjusted show time;
• and
• transition each respective value of the one or more parameters of the electrical load device to the determined respective adjusted value.
