Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the current smart home control system using Z-Wave technology, a Z-Wave node can only control the switch of one lamp or the light intensity of one lamp. Each Z-Wave node controls the switch or light intensity of multiple lamps respectively, which wastes a lot of Z-Wave node resources
In addition, the existing dimmers for adjusting the light intensity of lamps all adopt the pulse width modulation method, which has high cost and low cost performance

Abstract

The invention discloses a smart home lighting controller, and a lighting control system and method. The lighting controller is connected with a plurality of lamps, and comprises a Z-Wave communication unit for incorporating the lighting controller into a Z-Wave network, a relay control unit, a phase detection unit, a silicon controlled dimming unit and a power supply management unit. The power supply management unit is used for accessing an AC electric supply and providing a working power supply for the other units. The phase detection unit is connected with the accessed AC electric supply by the power supply management unit, and is used for detecting an inputted phase signal of the AC electric supply and transmitting to the Z-Wave communication unit. The relay control unit is used for controlling the on-off of the lamps based on signals of the Z-Wave communication unit. The silicon controlled dimming unit is used for adjusting the lighting brightness of the lamps. The invention has the advantages of being capable of saving Z-Wave network nodes, low in cost, high in cost performance, and high in control accuracy.
