Abstract: A load control device may include first, second, and third drive circuits for controlling respective ones of the emitter circuits, and may generate first, second, and third drive signals for controlling each of the first, second, and third drive circuits, respectively, to adjust a present color of the cumulative light emitted by the emitter circuits towards a target color. The control circuit may be configured to pulse-width modulate the first, second, and third drive signals on a periodic basis at an operating period, where each period comprises at least three time slots. The control circuit may be configured to determine first, second, and third on times of the first, second, and third drive signals of the first, second, and third pulses, respectively, based on the target color.

Abstract: A load control device may be provided that is configured to control a light source having a plurality of emitter circuits. The load control device may include a plurality of drive circuits for controlling respective ones of the emitter circuits, a memory configured to store data, a communication circuit configured to receive messages, and a control circuit. The control circuit may be configured to control each of the drive circuits to control an individual intensity level of the respective emitter circuit. The control circuit may be configured to receive a message including configuration data having a light source type, store the configuration data having the light source type, and control the drive circuits to adjust the individual intensity level of each of the emitter circuits to adjust a present color of the cumulative light emitted by the emitter circuits towards a target color based on the light source type.

Abstract: A load controller in a load control system may communicate messages with load control devices for controlling electrical loads. The load controller may receive messages that comprise values for controlling different load control parameters over different overlapping fade times. The load controller may identify a shorter remaining fade time for controlling one of the load control parameters and may determine an updated target value for controlling another load control parameter over the shorter remaining fade time. The load controller may transmit a series of messages within a limited fade time using an updated target value for each message to control an electrical load at a fade rate that during a fade time that is longer than the limited fade time.

Abstract: A load controller in a load control system may communicate messages with controllable loads on a plurality of loops for controlling electrical loads. Each controllable load may include a load control device and an associated electrical load. The messages received by the load controller may include a zone identifier. The zone identifier may be associated with the load control devices for being controlled together. The load controller may communicate messages to sets of load control devices for performing common control of the load control devices on each loop using group messages. The load controller may reconfigure the zones that are assigned group identifiers for receiving group messages on the loops, such that the group identifiers are assigned to the zones that have larger numbers of load control devices. The message types on a given loop may be selected based on the type of control being transmitted in the commands.
