  • Patent number: 11221599
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for adjusting environmental conditions based on automatically and manually generated requests. A commissioned unit comprising at least one IP luminaire (140, 150), transmits a signal comprising one or more identification codes. The signal may be, for example, a coded light signal. An environment control device (160) receives the signal, detects user input indicating one or more preferred environmental conditions, and transmits an environment control request comprising the one or more preferred environmental conditions. An environment manager module (110) receives the environment control request, generates an environment control command using the control request, and transmits the environment control command to one or more commissioned units to alter environmental conditions in a space in accordance with the user input.

  • Patent number: 10805078
    Abstract: A network node (110) is provided having a normal mode and a coordinator mode. The network node comprises a counter (130) and an incrementing unit (132), the incrementing unit being arranged to increment the counter at regular time intervals. If the network node does not receive counter synchronization messages it switches to coordinator mode.

  • Patent number: 9854643
    Abstract: The invention relates to a light control system (120;121) for controlling a lighting system (100). The light control system (120;121) is arranged to receive a power reduction parameter (alpha). The light control system comprising a light controller (134) arranged to receive a measured light value from a light sensor (127), to determine a light channel level value depending on the measured light value and a calibrated setpoint value if no power reduction parameter has been received, and to determine a light channel level value depending on the measured light value and a scaled calibrated setpoint value if the power reduction parameter has been received, the scaled calibrated setpoint value being equal to the calibrated setpoint value multiplied by the power reduction parameter.

  • Patent number: 9497832
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for adjusting environmental conditions within a physical structure comprising a plurality of linked commissioned units. One or more occupancy sensors (140-1, 150-1) produce data indicating that a designated zone has transitioned from an unoccupied state to an occupied state. A first one or more luminaires (140-2, 150-2) associated with a first one of the plurality of linked commissioned units (120D), produces a background level of illumination within a predetermined reaction period following the production of the sensor data. The first one of the plurality of linked commissioned units transmits data indicative of the state change of the designated zone, and at least a second one of the plurality of linked commissioned units receives the data indicative of the state change, and causes at least a second one or more luminaires to alter illumination.
