Abstract: An indoor lighting fixture that includes a sensor to sense a condition associated with an indoor space and a first light source to emit an illumination light to illuminate the indoor space. The indoor lighting fixture further includes a second light source to emit a status indicator light to indicate a status from the sensor. A color temperature of the status indicator light is adjustable to substantially match a color temperature of the illumination light.

Abstract: A system for determining occupancy includes a first luminaire having a first camera to detect a first occupant and a second luminaire having a second camera to detect a second occupant. The system further includes a processor to determine whether the first camera and the second camera have a common visual field and to determine whether the first occupant and the second occupant are the same occupant in response to determining that the first camera and the second camera have a common visual field.

The PDM can further include a controller communicably coupled to the at least one switch, where the controller operates the at least one switch between the closed position and the open position based on a power demand measured at the output section.

Abstract: A processor receives data associated with a device. On the basis of the data associated with the device, the processor modulates a light from the artificial light source at a rate imperceptible to a human eye while detectable by a light sensor device. The modulated light is representative of the data associated with the device. The modulated light is detected, demodulated, and decoded by the light sensor device to retrieve the data associated with the device. Further, the data associated with the device is presented by the light sensor device to a user. In addition, the light sensor device is configured to receive input data from the user and communicate the input data to the processor via a wireless link. The processor is configured to receive the input data from the light sensor device and effect a change in a characteristic of the device based on the received input data.

Abstract: An imaging sensor determines an influence of artificial light from one or more artificial light sources and an influence of natural light in an area associated with a lighting system. On the basis of the influence of the natural light and the influence of the artificial light, the imaging sensor determines the location of the one or more artificial light sources with respect to the location of the imaging sensor. Further, the imaging sensor allocates a portion of the area as an area of influence of the imaging sensor based on a threshold change in luminescence of the area associated with switching on or switching off of the one or more artificial light sources. Responsively, the imaging sensor associates at least one artificial light source of the one or more light sources and occupancy sensors corresponding to the at least one artificial light source with the allocated area of influence.
