Abstract
Color temperature in a space may be adjusted by controlling one or more lighting control devices (e.g., which control one or more lighting fixtures). Light may enter the space through a window. As a result of daylight control devices associated with the window, the color temperature of light that is entering the space may not be equal to a color temperature of light from outside of the space. A desired color temperature for the space may be input. The color temperature of light emitted by one or more lighting fixtures (e.g., controlled by one or more lighting control devices) may be adjusted to attain the desired color temperature.
Claims26
A method of controlling color temperature in a space, the method comprising:
- controlling a position of a window treatment fabric of a motorized window treatment based on a control mode or user preference;
- determining a color temperature of outside light entering the space;
- and
- adjusting the color temperature of light emitted by one or more lighting fixtures based on the color temperature of the outside light entering the space.
A method of controlling color temperature in a space, the method comprising:
- determining a color temperature of light outside of the space;
- and
- controlling a position of a window treatment fabric of a motorized window treatment based on the color temperature of the light outside of the space.
A system controller comprising:
- a control circuit configured to:
- determine a color temperature of light outside of the space;
- determine a color temperature of outside light entering the space based on the color temperature of the light outside of the space;
- and
- adjust the color temperature of light emitted by one or more lighting fixtures based on the color temperature of the outside light entering the space.
