[0002] With the rapid development of society and the economy, how to achieve intelligent and centralized control of lighting venues has become a research topic and trend in environmental lighting engineering projects. In existing lighting projects, multiple controllers are often needed to control a single lighting module, resulting in low intelligence, requiring multiple adjustments, cumbersome operation steps, and reduced efficiency. To address these issues, a central controller has been invented to adjust and set multiple lighting modules in a lighting project. This controller can be used to control multiple lighting modules for single or multiple timed switching, on / off switching, color temperature control, or other functions. However, existing controllers mostly use button control for operation, which is inconvenient and requires customization based on the number of lighting modules, leading to high customization costs and low applicability. Furthermore, button control has a short lifespan; repeated pressing can cause buttons to jam, resulting in a high failure rate and affecting the normal use of the controller. Utility Model Content
