Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for intelligent lighting management with security applications. In some embodiments, the usage of at least one illumination device may be monitored. The illumination device may be a light bulb used in a home. Usage data for the illumination device may be recorded and used to generate a lighting schedule. The lighting schedule may be replayed to simulate occupancy, for example, to deter intruders.

Abstract: A modular illumination device, and associated systems and methods, are provided. In some cases, a hub is provided. The hub can, optionally, be configured to receive at least one module via an interface. The hub can comprise an optional fitting configured to be mounted in a light socket, an optional networking component, and/or an optional illumination source. In some cases, the hub can be coupled to a module such that an external surface of the module occupies a relatively large percentage of the external surface area of the coupled hub and module and/or such that a substantially smooth surface is formed between the hub and module. In some cases, the hub can be coupled to a module having a relatively large volume. Also disclosed are covers configured to at least partially enclose wall-mounted electric switches, systems for retrofitting electric switches, and methods of retrofitting electric switches.
