Controlling light intensity at a location

摘要

A mobile device that is configured for wireless communication may be configured to operate as a remote control device in a lighting control system, controlling one or more lighting control devices of the lighting control system. The remote control device may control the light intensity in a space, for instance at a location of the remote control device, in response to an ambient light intensity measured at the remote control device. The remote control device may define a user interface for receiving an input that indicates a desired light intensity at the location. The remote control device may measure the ambient light intensity at the location via a light detector, compare the measured ambient light intensity to the desired light intensity, and cause the one or more lighting control devices to adjust the ambient light intensity at the remote control device until it agrees with the desired light intensity.

主权项

1. A mobile control device that is configured to control light intensity, the mobile control device comprising:
a user interface that is configured to receive an input, the input indicative of a desired light intensity; a light detector that, responsive to receipt of the input, performs a measurement of ambient light intensity at the mobile control device; a wireless communication circuit; and a control circuit that is configured to determine a location of the mobile control device and, based on the measurement of ambient light intensity and the location of the mobile control device, cause the wireless communication circuit to transmit a message to a lighting control device, wherein the message causes the ambient light intensity at the mobile control device to be adjusted such that the ambient light intensity at the mobile control device agrees with the desired light intensity.
