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 remote control device for use with a lighting control device that is configured to control light intensity, the remote control device comprising:
a user interface that is configured to receive an input that is indicative of a desired light intensity; a light detector that is configured to perform a measurement of an ambient light intensity at the remote control device in response to receipt of the input; a wireless communication circuit; and a control circuit that is configured to cause the wireless communication circuit to transmit a message to the lighting control device based on the measurement of the ambient light intensity and on a location of the remote control device, wherein the message causes the ambient light intensity at the remote control device to be adjusted towards the desired light intensity.
