  • Digital addressable lighting interface configuration
    Patent number: 10575388
    Abstract: A method of configuring and managing a DALI network includes displaying rows of cells on a display of a mobile device. The cells are associated with addresses on DALI networks. The method further includes selecting, by the mobile device, a DALI controller, where DALI controller is connected to a DALI network. The method also includes detecting, by the DALI controller, DALI devices that are on the DALI network, where the DALI devices are controlled by the DALI controller. The DALI controller is configured to detect the DALI devices in response to a request from the mobile device. The method further includes displaying, within some or all cells in the row of cells displayed on the display of the mobile device, icons representing the DALI devices, where each cell having an icon displayed therein is associated with an address of a respective DALI device on the DALI network.
