Abstract
A lighting device can be assigned to a light group by a controller. The controller can read a plurality of addresses associated with a plurality of lighting devices. The controller can send a set of addresses of the plurality of addresses to a computing device. Responsive to receiving a first instruction from the computing device that identifies a first address of the set of addresses, the controller can cause a first lighting device of the plurality of lighting devices to emit a first light. Responsive to receiving a second instruction from the computing device, the controller can assign the first lighting device to a first light group.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- reading, by a controller, a plurality of addresses associated with a plurality of lighting devices electrically connected to the controller;
- sending a set of addresses of the plurality of addresses to a computing device;
- responsive to receiving a first instruction from the computing device that identifies a first address of the set of addresses, causing a first lighting device of the plurality of lighting devices to emit a first light;
- and
- responsive to receiving a second instruction from the computing device, assigning the first lighting device to a first light group.
A system, comprising:
- a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to cause a controller to at least:
- read a plurality of addresses associated with a plurality of lighting devices electrically connected to the controller;
- send a set of addresses of the plurality of addresses to a computing device;
- responsive to receiving a first instruction from the computing device that identifies a first address of the set of addresses, send a signal to a first lighting device of the plurality of lighting devices to cause the first lighting device to emit a first light;
- and
- responsive to receiving a second instruction from the computing device, assign the first lighting device to a first light group.
A method, comprising:
- providing a user interface comprising a plurality of user interface elements that represent a plurality of lighting devices;
- responsive to a first user selection of a first user interface element of the plurality of user interface elements, causing a first lighting device of the plurality of lighting devices to emit a light;
- responsive to a second user selection, assigning the first lighting device to a light group;
- and
- causing a change to the light after assigning the first lighting device to the light group.
