  • Patent number: 12580810
    Abstract: A load control system may be commissioned using beacons. The load control system may include control devices that each include a beacon transmitting circuit configured to transmit a beacon that comprises an identifier associated with the control device. A network device, such as a mobile device, may discover a control device based on the beacon received from the control device. In response to discovery of the control device, the control device may be added to a temporary group of control devices for being collectively configured and/or controlled. Control devices may be discovered based on the signal strength at which the beacons are received. The control devices may provide feedback to a user in response to confirmation messages to indicate to a user that the lighting control device has been added to the temporary group. The control devices may stop providing the feedback after they are removed from the temporary group.

  • Publication number: 20250141836
    Abstract: A load control system may be provided including control devices and a system controller. The system controller may be configured to broadcast a service set identifier (SSID) and provide a wireless network connection to a network device. The system controller may provide a web page to the network device, wherein the web page may include an indication of target system controllers. The target system controllers may be used for configuring (e.g., associating) the control devices. The system controller may receive an indication of a target system controller selected to associate the control devices. The system controller may determine an address and port number of the target system controller identified by the network device. The system controller may provide, to the network device, the web page from the target system controller while the network device is connected to the system controller via the wireless network connection.

  • Publication number: 20240358485
    Abstract: Animal drug delivery systems and methods. Such a system includes a carrier cartridge to carry and dispense a plurality of drug doses, a monitoring device, and a controller operatively coupled with the carrier cartridge and the monitoring device. The controller operates the carrier cartridge to dispense at least one of the drug doses to an animal subject at each of a plurality of preselected dispensing intervals. The controller is also configured to operate the monitoring device to record the animal subject ingesting the dispensed drug doses. The system may be configured to provide drug pellets to mice based on researcher needs, allow for mouse monitoring to confirm drug delivery, enable behavioral studies to be conducted using operant condition, and/or to fit into a specific lab research animal cage.
