  • Patent number: 10009977
    Abstract: A control device of a luminaire includes a controller for controlling operation of the luminaire, which assumes a certain target lighting level as a response to a triggering local input signal. Through a communications module the device is configured to receive indication messages from the other devices. An adaptation module adjusts the operation of the control means in accordance with received indication messages. A relationship strength is determined, pertinent to a particular other device and indicative of regularity at which triggering local input signals have been observed after first receiving an indication message from said other device. The controller is reprogrammed to make the luminaire assume a preparatory lighting level as a response to receiving an indication message from said other device, the preparatory lighting level being dependent on the determined relationship strength.
