  • Patent number: 9549453
    Abstract: Disclosed are various methods for lighting control of a light fixture by a remote device. The remote device receives, via a wireless network interface, an identifier from a photocontrol device that manages light output of the light fixture. The remote device transmits a request to establish a point-to-point communication session directly with the photocontrol device using the wireless network interface. Upon receiving an acknowledgement from the photocontrol device confirming establishment of the communication session, the remote device uses the established communication session for receiving a configuration for the photocontrol device. In response to input received, via a user interface of the remote device, to adjust a dimming schedule for the photocontrol device, the remote device instructs the photocontrol device to modify its configuration based upon the received input.

  • Patent number: 9338862
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for remote lighting control by a processor of photocontrol device for a light fixture. The photocontrol receives, via a wireless network interface, a request to establish a communication session with a remote device using the wireless network interface. The request includes an authentication credential. A command is received, via the communication session with the remote device, to control light output produced from the light fixture. The photocontrol initiates performance of the command for the light fixture, where the command supersedes any other command from ambient light sensing logic of the photocontrol device. The photocontrol device indicates a result of the performance of the command.
