Estimating the term…
The present disclosure presents a relatively inexpensive yet intelligent solution for assigning a status to a lighting device over a connection used for transmissions of power and/or intensity for the lighting device. The system leverage and utilizes an existing connection that is available in many traditional lighting systems to provide intelligence between lighting devices, such as assigning a master or slave status to a lighting fixture or a device. For example, a typical lighting fixture may have existing connections such as for wiring and powering up the lighting fixture to modulate intensity of the light emitted. The present solution described herein provides systems and methods for utilizing the same wire to assign a status to the lighting fixture without interrupting the power supplied to the lighting fixture or the intensity emitted from the lighting device.
A method of assigning a status to a lighting device of a plurality of lighting devices over a line, the method comprising:
A system of a lighting device of a plurality of lighting devices assigning a status of a master or a slave over a line used by the plurality of lighting devices to provide intensity, the system comprising:
A lighting device assigning a status of a master or a slave based on a signal received over a line used to receive intensity, the lighting device comprising:
