ZIGBEE LIGHT LINK NETWORK COMMISSIONING

摘要

This invention generally relates to commissioning in Zigbee Light Link (ZLL) networks. The proposed solution takes advantage of the existing Touchlink procedure in order to enable a controller device joining a ZLL network without having to Touchlink with every single lighting devices comprised in the ZLL network. This way, the one or more lighting devices of the ZLL network may be directly controlled by the newly joined controller device after a single Touchlink thanks to the introduction of a commissioning device. The commissioning device may be configured to provide specific joining information and binding information to the controller device. Further, a timer in the commissioning device may be triggered to lapse after a given period of time where the controller may be disconnected from the ZLL network.

主权项

1. A commissioning device for joining at least one controller device to a first Zigbee Light Link, ZLL, network having at least one lighting device connected thereto,
wherein the commissioning device is part of the ZLL network, the commissioning device comprising a target module operable to cause the commissioning device to operate in a target mode during a single Touchlink procedure established between at least the controller device and the commissioning device in which the commissioning device is capable of joining the controller device to the first ZLL network in response to the Touchlink procedure being initiated by the controller device; wherein the commissioning device is arranged for providing the controller device with at least one joining information associated with the first ZLL network wherein, the commissioning device is further arranged for providing the controller device with binding information associated with at least one lighting device and/or with at least one group of lighting devices of the network.
