Abstract

A system for the control of a set of powered utilities is disclosed. The system comprises a first device which in turn comprises a processor capable of altering a state of a first powered utility. This first device further comprises a data port configured to transmit a set of messages. These messages include a transmitted message delivered from the processor. The system additionally comprises a second device which in turn comprises a second processor capable of altering a state of a second powered utility. The second processor is configured to selectively alter the state of the second powered utility based on the transmitted message.

Description

technical field [0001] The described invention relates generally to the control of powered utilities, and more specifically to the control of lighting fixtures with on-board processing capabilities. Background technique [0002] Recent advances in ballast controlled lighting have led to the availability of programmable luminaires. Some of these devices include microprocessors for control of the device, for example, to provide auto-dimming capabilities and power management features. [0003] On-board processing capability allows local control of specific operating parameters. Until now, such controls have been limited to traditional lighting aspects, such as behavioral sensors that illuminate an area only when it is occupied, and timers that deactivate some or all of the lights in a lighting system when the facility is not occupied. mechanism, automatic dimming / brightening (dusk / dawn) control, etc. [0004] Significant energy savings, light pollution reduction, and equipme...
