  • Publication number: 20220345363
    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: 20220341256
    Abstract: A motorized window treatment may include a roller tube, a covering material that is attached to the roller tube, and a motor drive unit configured to be located within the roller tube. The motor drive unit may include a motor drive shaft defining a motor drive shaft rotational axis in a longitudinal direction. The motor drive shaft may be configured to rotate the roller tube to adjust the covering material between a raised position and a lowered position. The motorized window treatment may be configured to adjust a visible light transmittance of the covering material by rotating the roller tube, for example, when the covering material is in a fixed position between the raised position and the lowered position.

  • Publication number: 20200120772
    Abstract: A load control system may include a control device, such as a control-target device and a control-source device. A control circuit of a computing device(s) may execute a load control system configuration tool. The control circuit executing the load control system configuration tool may display first level details associated with the load control system in a project. The first level details may include one or more of square footage, energy code, building function, or construction type associated with the project. Based on the first level details, the control circuit of the computing device(s) executing the load control system configuration tool may generate one or more load control system configurations. Each one of the one or more load control system configurations may include one or more load control instructions. The one or more load control instructions may control the control-target devices in the load control system in the project.
