Apparatus and method for controlling lighting

摘要

An apparatus and method for controlling lighting are disclosed. The apparatus includes a reception unit, a determination unit, a state determination unit, and a lighting control command transmission unit. The reception unit receives an event message from a light sensor. The determination unit determines whether the event message is an event message attributable to a change in luminance or an event message related to a DALI system. If it is determined that the event message is the event message attributable to a change in the luminance, the state determination unit determines the luminance change state of a lit space using the event message attributable to a change in the luminance. The lighting control command transmission unit sends a lighting control command corresponding to the luminance change state using a control group address.

主权项

1. A method of controlling lighting, comprising:
receiving, by an apparatus for controlling lighting, event messages from a light sensor; if the event messages are attributable to a change in the luminance, determining whether the event messages corresponding to a luminance change from a first luminance darker than a setpoint to a second luminance brighter than the setpoint are continuously received or whether the event messages corresponding to a luminance change from a third luminance brighter than the setpoint to a fourth luminance darker than the setpoint are continuously received; determining whether the luminance of a lit space becomes brighter than or darker than the setpoint based on results of the determination; and sending a command to control corresponding lighting based on results of the determination.
