Patent number: 11844166Abstract: A lighting relay panel may include lower-cost features or components related to improved safety and reliability. In some cases, the relay panel includes a power supply capable of protecting the panel from high-voltage and high-current transients. A microcontroller may determine a power interruption based on a zero-cross signal received from the power supply, and may also configure latching relays during the interruption. In some implementations, the relay panel includes a relay sense circuit that is capable of receiving actuation signals from multiple relays connected to different phases of a power signal, and the microcontroller may synchronize or repeat the actuations based on a signal from the relay sense circuit. The microcontroller may generate relay addresses based on the relay positions within the relay panel. In some cases, the relay panel may include isolation circuits that are capable of providing an isolated control signal having an improved voltage range.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: ABL IP HOLDING LLCInventors: Dalibor Zulim, Richard Lee Westrick, Jr., Ryan Zaveruha, Frank Pelliccio

Publication number: 20230269854Abstract: A luminaire or lighting control device includes a network interface with a transceiver configured for communication via a lighting control network for lighting control and systems operations. The device can include a light source to emit illumination lighting, a driver circuit to control operation of the light source, and a power supply. The device includes a processor coupled to the network interface, and a memory accessible to the processor that stores a battery level threshold. The device includes programming in the memory. Execution of the programming by the processor configures the device to implement the following functions. First, the device receives a lighting control message. Second, the device determines a battery level of a power switch. Finally, in response to the battery level of the power switch being less than the battery level threshold, the device controls the luminaire or another luminaire to enter a low battery mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: ABL IP HOLDING LLCInventors: Richard L.

Publication number: 20210084735Abstract: A method for configuring a wireless sensor of a lighting control network may include, providing, by a user, a sensor stimulus to cause the wireless sensor to wake-up from a reduced power operating mode. In the reduced power operating mode, a first radio configured to communicate using a first wireless communication protocol and a second radio configured to communicate using a second wireless communication protocol may be inoperative. The first radio may become operative upon the wake-up. The method may further include receiving, via the first radio, an activation message from a control device. The activation message may cause the wireless sensor to maintain operation of the first radio for a first specified period of time. The method may further include resuming, by the wireless sensor, operation in the reduced power operating mode after the first specified period of time. The wireless sensor may be a battery-powered wireless sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2020Publication date: March 18, 2021Inventors: Richard Lee Westrick, JR., Ryan Zaveruha, Frank Pelliccio
