Abstract
Systems and methods of the disclosed subject matter provide a first light source, a second light source, and a controller communicatively coupled to the first light source and the second light source, the controller to control a first operation of the first light source according to an input received by the controller for at first period of time, and to control a second operation of the second light source when the input received by the controller is for a second period of time that is greater than the first period of time.
Claims40
A system comprising:
- a first light source included in a first device that is disposed at a first location in a room;
- a second light source included in a second device that is disposed at a distance from the first light source at a second location in the room;
- and
- a controller, including a switch, communicatively coupled to the first light source and the second light source, the controller to control a first operation of the first light source according to a first input received by the switch, and to control a second operation of the second light source when a second input is received by the switch, wherein the controller controls the first and second operations of the respective first light source and second light source sequentially based on respective positions of the first light source and the second light source to the switch.

A method comprising:
- controlling a first light source included in a first device that is disposed in a first location in a room with a controller;
- controlling, with the controller, a second light source included in a second device that is disposed at a distance from the first light source at a second location in the room;
- and
- controlling, with the controller, a first operation of the first light source according to a first input received by a switch that is part of the controller, and controlling a second operation of the second light source when a second input is received by the switch, wherein the first and second operations of the respective first light source and second light source are controlled sequentially based on respective positions of the first light source and the second light source to the switch.
