Event detection and environmental control within a structure

A method of identifying an event, comprising:

• sensing motion with a motion sensor, wherein the motion sensor is stationary, and senses motion of an object that is external to the motion sensor;
• matching the sensed motion with one of a plurality of stored patterns of events;
• and
• identifying an event associated with the sensed motion based on a match between a one of the plurality of patterns and the sensed motion.

A sensing device, comprising:

• a light sensor sensing motion;
• a processor, the processor configured to:
• match the sensed motion with one of a plurality of stored patterns of events;
• and
• identify an event associated with the sensed motion based on a match between a one of the plurality of patterns and the sensed motion.

A lighting fixture, comprising:

• a light;
• a motion sensor sensing motion;
• a processor, the processor configured to:
• match the sensed motion with one of a plurality of stored patterns of events;
• and
• identify an event associated with the sensed motion based on a match between a one of the plurality of patterns and the sensed motion;
• adjust an intensity of the light based at least in part on the identified event.

A lighting system, comprising a plurality of lighting fixtures that communicate with each other, each lighting fixture comprising:

• a light;
• a motion sensor sensing motion;
• a processor, the processor configured to:
• match the sensed motion with one of a plurality of stored patterns of events;
• and
• identify an event associated with the sensed motion based on a match between a one of the plurality of patterns and the sensed motion;
• adjust an intensity of the light based at least in part on the identified event.
