Abstract: A lighting control system is disclosed including a microcontroller that can receive multiple luminaire control inputs in various protocols, output multiple luminaire control outputs. The luminaire control inputs and luminaire control outputs can be in various protocols and interfaces, and the microcontroller can also determine a hierarchy for the luminaire control inputs and outputs. The hierarchy allows the microcontroller to receive multiple luminaire control inputs and output the appropriate control to a luminaire or a number of luminaires. The hierarchy also determines which protocol or luminaire control input takes priority when multiple inputs are received. The hierarchy can be set or updated by a user via an electronic device. The microcontroller receives the luminaire control inputs via a first interface, and a second interface transmits the luminaire control outputs from the microcontroller.
