Abstract: For the relative activation of a luminaire, actuation of an actuating element, particularly of a pushbutton, is detected. During actuation of the actuating element, the following steps are performed cyclically: ascertainment of a target control point (P_1, P_2) that corresponds to one of a plurality of sampling points (61, 62) encountered sequentially during the actuation; generation of a control command (71, 72) on the basis of the target control point (P_1, P_2); and issuing of the control command (71, 72) in order to reach a sampling point (61, 62) corresponding to the target control point (P_1, P_2) at a predefined change-over time (68). During continued actuation of the actuating element, a predefined period of time (68) is allowed to pass after a control command (71) is issued before a further control command (72) is issued in order to reach another sampling point (62) that corresponds to a further target control point (P_2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for programming lighting bus subscribers, comprising the steps of: determining available lighting bus subscribers, e.g. sensors and/or actuators such as for example operating devices for lighting means, by a central unit connected to the lighting bus subscribers via a bus; selecting, by means of the central unit, at least one lighting bus subscriber from the available lighting bus subscribers; setting the selected lighting bus subscribers into an update mode and allocating an update identification to the lighting bus subscribers; and transferring update software, in particular firmware, provided with the update identification to the selected lighting bus subscribers.

Abstract: For the relative activation of a luminaire, actuation of an actuating element, particularly of a pushbutton, is detected. During actuation of the actuating element, the following steps are performed cyclically: ascertainment of a target control point (P—1, P—2) that corresponds to one of a plurality of sampling points (61, 62) encountered sequentially during the actuation; generation of a control command (71, 72) on the basis of the target control point (P—1, P—2); and issuing of the control command (71, 72) in order to reach a sampling point (61, 62) corresponding to the target control point (P—1, P—2) at a predefined change-over time (68). During continued actuation of the actuating element, a predefined period of time (68) is allowed to pass after a control command (71) is issued before a further control command (72) is issued in order to reach another sampling point (62) that corresponds to a further target control point (P—2).
