Simulcast mesh dimmable illumination source

摘要

An LED illumination device is configured to receive coded messages by at least one of radio signals in free space, electrically conducted signals by wire, and light wave propagated signals in free space, process the coded messages, and transmit the coded messages by two or more of radio signals in free space, electrically conducted signals by wire, and light wave propagated signals in free space.

主权项

1. A method of illuminating a space and reacting to and transmitting messages with an illumination device, the method comprising:
receiving coded messages with electrical circuitry disposed within an enclosure of an illumination device by radio signals in free space and electrically conducted signals by wire; processing the coded messages with the electrical circuitry disposed within the enclosure of the illumination device; transmitting the coded messages with the electrical circuitry disposed within the enclosure of the illumination device by the radio signals in free space and the electrically conducted signals by wire; and determining whether message traffic for the electrically conducted signals by wire exceeds a threshold, and when the threshold is exceeded, reduce the message traffic for the electrically conducted signals by wire while continuing to transmit by the radio signals in free space.
