Remotely programming a photocontrol device

摘要

Disclosed are various methods for lighting control of a light fixture by a remote device. The remote device receives, via a wireless network interface, an identifier from a photocontrol device that manages light output of the light fixture. The remote device transmits a request to establish a point-to-point communication session directly with the photocontrol device using the wireless network interface. Upon receiving an acknowledgement from the photocontrol device confirming establishment of the communication session, the remote device uses the established communication session for receiving a configuration for the photocontrol device. In response to input received, via a user interface of the remote device, to adjust a dimming schedule for the photocontrol device, the remote device instructs the photocontrol device to modify its configuration based upon the received input.

主权项

1. A method for lighting control of a light fixture by a remote device, the method comprising:
receiving, via a wireless network interface, an identifier from a photocontrol device within range of the wireless network interface of the remote device, the photocontrol device managing light output of the light fixture, the photocontrol device being removably attached to the light fixture; transmitting, via the wireless network interface, a request to establish a point-to-point communication session directly with the photocontrol device using the wireless network interface, the request comprising an authentication credential; upon receiving, via the wireless network interface, an acknowledgement from the photocontrol device confirming establishment of the point-to-point communication session, using the established point-to-point communication session for:
receiving a configuration for the photocontrol device that specifies how the photocontrol device is programmed to manage dimming the light output of the light fixture according to a schedule associated with a time of day; andin response to input received, via a user interface of the remote device, to adjust the dimming schedule, instructing the photocontrol device to modify the configuration for the photocontrol device specifying the dimming schedule based upon the received input.
