Patent number: 10057966Abstract: Techniques are described for a lighting system in which light sources are controllable using signals sent over a wireless mesh network. During a commissioning process, a user interface (UI) may present a representation of nodes (e.g., light sources, sensors, controllers, etc.) that are broadcasting a wireless advertising signal. In response to a selection of a particular node, a wireless message may be sent to instruct the selected node to provide a visual indication of its presence, such as a flashing light. The visual indication may enable a user to discern the physical location of the node, such that each node may be added to the mesh network and, in some instances, to a group of nodes. The UI may also enable the definition of scenes, where each scene describes the brightness level or other operating characteristics of particular light source(s) and/or group(s) of light sources when the scene is active.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2016Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: iLumisys, Inc.Inventors: James M. Amrine, Daniel J. Hollenkamp, John Ivey, Francis Palazzolo, Scott Rundell, James R. Scapa
