Abstract: A lighting relay panel may include lower-cost features or components related to improved safety and reliability. In some cases, the relay panel includes a power supply capable of protecting the panel from high-voltage and high-current transients. A microcontroller may determine a power interruption based on a zero-cross signal received from the power supply, and may also configure latching relays during the interruption.

Abstract: After the establishment of a mesh network (e.g., a Bluetooth mesh network), a smart device (not the original provisioner) may be provisioned to the mesh network by a node of the mesh network, which acts a provisioner. Network keys and other provisioning information may be provided to the smart device from the provisioner node using a standard mesh provisioning process implemented in reverse (i.e., from the node to the smart device). The reverse-implementation of the standard mesh provisioning process does not require cloud services, a sideband channel, or any custom interface service between the smart device and the mesh network. Other methods of provisioning a smart device to a mesh network are also provided, as are other aspects.

Abstract: A method for configuring a wireless sensor of a lighting control network may include, providing, by a user, a sensor stimulus to cause the wireless sensor to wake-up from a reduced power operating mode. In the reduced power operating mode, a first radio configured to communicate using a first wireless communication protocol and a second radio configured to communicate using a second wireless communication protocol may be inoperative. The first radio may become operative upon the wake-up. The method may further include receiving, via the first radio, an activation message from a control device. The activation message may cause the wireless sensor to maintain operation of the first radio for a first specified period of time. The method may further include resuming, by the wireless sensor, operation in the reduced power operating mode after the first specified period of time. The wireless sensor may be a battery-powered wireless sensor.

Abstract: An intelligent lighting system may be installed using pre-existing electrical wiring, such as in a construction or retrofit environment. An intelligent lighting controller and an intelligent lighting fixture may be connected via electrical wiring that is configured for transmitting AC power signals.
