  • Patent number: 11949532
    Abstract: Lighting control systems may be commissioned for programming and/or control with the aid of a mobile device. Design software may be used to create a floor plan of how the lighting control system may be designed. The design software may generate floor plan identifiers for each lighting fixture, or group of lighting fixtures. During commissioning of the lighting control system, the mobile device may be used to help identify the lighting devices that have been installed in the physical space. The mobile device may receive a communication from each lighting control device that indicates a unique identifier of the lighting control device. The unique identifier may be communicated by visible light communication (VLC) or RF communication. The unique identifier may be associated with the floor plan identifier for communication of digital messages to lighting fixtures installed in the locations indicated in the floor plan identifier.

  • Patent number: 11567636
    Abstract: A load control system may be configured using a design (e.g., graphical user interface) software. The design software may display icons representing fixtures (e.g., lighting fixtures) and devices (e.g., load control devices, controls, sensors, etc.) on a canvas. The design software may define relationships between the fixtures and/or devices. The design software may provide load control templates defining collections of devices, for example, for particular rooms in a building. The templates may be quickly placed on the canvas to define a particular area. Fixtures may be added to a template on the canvas and the design software may automatically create relationships between the fixtures and the devices (e.g., load control devices) of the template. In addition, the design software may automatically create relationships between the devices of the template (e.g., between controls and load control devices).
