  • 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: 10743392
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for cloud-based monitoring and control of physical environments. In various embodiments, a computing device (1350, 1450, 1550) seeking to verify credentials of a lighting system controller (1352, 1452, 1552) may obtain unverified credentials of the lighting system controller. The computing device may transmit, to a first remote device via a first network communication channel, a request to verify the unverified credentials. The computing device may receive verification from the first remote device or a second remote device via a second network communication channel. The second network communication channel may be different than the first network communication channel. The computing device may compare the unverified credentials to the verification data and verify, based on the comparing, that the unverified credentials are legitimate.
