Abstract: A lighting control system and method is provided. A first electronic device for lighting control detects wirelessly one or more available network messages corresponding to one or more other electronic devices within wireless range of the first electronic device. The first electronic device connects wirelessly to a next electronic device of the one or more other electronic devices. The first electronic device sends a first device ID wirelessly to the next electronic device. The connection to the next electronic device is maintained if a registering handshake message is received via the next electronic device. The first electronic device disconnects from the next electronic device if the registering handshake message is not received within a predetermined timeout amount of time.

Abstract: A system and method of controlling lighting schedules in a lighting control application on a computer system is disclosed. A graphical user interface is displayed to a user on a display in signal-communication with the computer system. The graphical user interface has a plurality of lighting control schedule areas. Each lighting control schedule area has an in-schedule portion and a corresponding out-of-schedule portion. One or more interface objects, corresponding to one or more lighting control devices, are associated with the in-schedule lighting control schedule of a first lighting control schedule area of the plurality of lighting control schedule areas without instructing the corresponding one or more lighting control devices to operate on said in-schedule lighting control schedule, in response to a user moving the one or more interface objects to the out-of-schedule portion of the first lighting control schedule area.

Abstract: A device and method for changing light intensity is provided. The power provided to a light is first changed with the lighting control device at a first rate along a first portion of a power range. The power provided to the light is second changed with the lighting control device at a second rate along a second portion of the power range, the second rate being different from the first rate.

Abstract: A graphical user interface is displayed to a user on a display in signal communication with the computer system. The graphical user interface has a first lighting control schedule area and a first interface object representing a lighting control device. The first interface object is located outside of the first lighting control schedule area. A second lighting control schedule area is displayed adjacent the first lighting control schedule area when the first lighting control schedule area is empty of any interface object representing a lighting control device and the first interface object is moved into the first lighting control schedule area.
