Publication number: 20240047967Abstract: The methods and apparatus described enable automatic configuration, or commissioning, of controller devices and load control devices through a low voltage communication network controlled by one or more controller devices. These methods and apparatus further enable expansion of the load control system by connection of additional loads and or load control devices and or controller devices which will reinitialize the low voltage communication network and automatically reconfigure the controller devices and load control devices connected to the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: The Watt Stopper, Inc.Inventors: Louia Weidman, Peter John Horton, Jason H. Joyce, Eric J. Fournier
