  • Patent number: 8860327
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, for wirelessly controlling a power supply device that controls a load. A wireless adapter includes a wireless communication device that receives transmissions from a wireless controller, a serial interface for a serial data connection to a power supply processing device integrated in the power supply device, an adapter processing device that receives the control signals the wireless communication device outputs, generates the control commands from the control signals, and outputs the control commands to the serial interface to cause the power supply processing device to control power provided to the load in a manner specified by the control commands, and an adapter power circuit that receives regulated direct current (DC) power from the power supply device and is powered from the regulated DC power received, and provides power to the wireless communication device and the adapter processing device.

  • Patent number: 8422401
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for commissioning a wireless network in an automated fashion. The method includes accessing zone configuration data specifying zones in a wireless network and further specifying, for each zone, wireless devices that belong to the zone; in response to a first physical stimulus in an area, receiving sensor data from a first sensor device in the area and generating the sensor data in response to sensing the first physical stimulus, the first sensor device not belonging to a zone and the area being an area in which are located other wireless devices belonging to a first zone; generating a commissioning event for the first zone; and in response to the sensor data and the commissioning event, updating the zone configuration data so that the zone configuration data specifies that the first sensor device belongs to the first zone.
