A system for automatically ascertaining the location of wireless functional devices, such as lights and switches, in a building, uses information from the devices generated by receipt of electromagnetic signals from other devices, to calculate a best fit for the relative location of the devices in relation to each other. Preferably a map of the building is adduced to refine the location process, for instance by tying the location of a light switch to a wall or a light to a ceiling. The information is used to ascertain that two devices are in the same room and can be associated with each other (a light fitting and corresponding switch for example). Account can be taken of variable features of the building such as partition walls, to update device settings. There is thus no need to survey the building manually. |
