LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM WITH LIGHT SHOW CANCELLATION

Abstract

Systems and methods are described for a load control system that produces a light show by adjusting one or more parameter values, such as color temperature, intensity, spectrum, volume, load status, and window cover position, based on the show time coinciding with the current time of day. The load control system responds to commands to adjust the show time relative to the current time of day. The load control system is configured to respond to received commands by initiating a temporary system override in which one or more parameter values ​​can be advanced or reversed in time according to the defined show. The temporary override can be exited, and the defined show can be resumed at the current time of day after a predetermined amount of time has elapsed, at a reset point, or in response to a command.

Description

LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM WITH LIGHT SHOW CANCELLATION CROSS REFERENCE WITH RELATED APPLICATION This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application no. 63 / 051,492, filed on July 14, 2020, the description of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by this reference. BACKGROUND Load control systems are known to automatically adjust the light output of one or more light sources gradually over time. An example of a commercial load control system, such as the Quantum system provided by Lutron Electronics Co., Inc., can be configured to adjust light intensity according to a clock schedule (at time A, the lights switch to intensity 1; at time B, the lights switch to intensity 2). Residential systems, such as HomeWorks provided by Lutron Electronics Co., Inc., offer similar functionality. Another example is the Daylight system provided by Lutron Ketra, which can be configured to change color and intensity over time (i.e., throughout the day) to mimic sunlight. COMPENDIUM While these systems strive to simplify lighting control in a space by automating light output over time, sometimes the desired light output doesn't meet the specific needs of the user's task. Therefore, there is a need for a system that provides easily adjustable, automated light output. This document describes a load control system comprising control devices configured to adjust one or more light output parameter values ​​based on a show time. The show time may be the same as the current time of day. The control devices may include lighting fixtures, window treatments, etc., which can control parameter values ​​such as light intensity, color temperature, color, window cover position, etc. The load control system may include one or more input devices, such as a keypad, a network device, etc., that can respond to a user signal indicating an adjustment to the show time. For example, a user might press a button on an input device to rewind, fast-forward, or change the natural light show time. The load control system can adjust the show time so that it no longer follows the current time of day and control the control devices to adjust parameter values ​​accordingly. In this way, parameter values ​​can be easily adjusted to meet the user's specific task requirements while maintaining the natural light show schedule to provide optimal light output.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Figure 1 shows a high-level diagram of an example of a load control system 100. The load control system 100 may include a system controller 150 and load control devices for controlling (for example, directly and / or indirectly) one or more electrical loads in a user environment 102 (also referred to herein as a "load control environment"). Examples of user environments / load control environments 102 may include one or more rooms in a dwelling, one or more floors in a building, one or more rooms in a hotel, etc. By way of example, the load control system 100 may enable the automated control of lighting systems, blinds, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in the user environment, among other electrical loads. The load control devices of the load control system 100 may include a system controller 150, source control devices (for example, items 108, 110, 120 and 122 which will be described later) and destination control devices (for example, items 112, 113, 116, 124 and 126 which will be described later) (reference may be made Qc? nnn / rznz / E / YiAi herein refers to the source control devices and the destination control devices individually and / or collectively as "load control devices" and / or "control devices"). The system controller 150, the source control devices, and the destination control devices can be configured to communicate (transmit and / or receive) messages, such as digital messages (although other types of messages may be communicated), with each other by means of wireless signals 154 (e.g., radio frequency (RF) signals), although wired communications may also be used. The term "digital" messages will be used herein for illustrative purposes only. Source control devices may include, for example, input devices configured to detect conditions within the user environment 102 (e.g., user inputs via switches, presence / absence conditions, changes in measured light intensities, and / or other input information) and, in response to the detected conditions, transmit digital messages to target control devices configured to control electrical loads in response to instructions or commands received in the digital messages. Target control devices may include, for example, load control devices that are configured to receive digital messages from the source control devices and / or the system controller 150 and to control the respective electrical loads in response to the received digital messages.A single load control system 100 control device can function as both a source control device and a destination control device. According to one example, the system controller 150 can be configured to receive digital messages transmitted by the source control devices, interpret these messages based on a load control system configuration, and then transmit digital messages to the target control devices so that the target control devices can then control the respective electrical loads. In other words, the source control devices and the target control device can communicate through the system controller 150. According to another example, the source control devices can communicate directly with the target control devices without the assistance of the system controller 150. The system controller can still monitor such communications.According to another example, the System Controller 150 can generate and then communicate digital messages with source and / or target control devices. These communications from the System Controller 150 can include programming / configuration data (e.g., settings) for the control devices, such as scene button settings on light switches. Communications from the System Controller 150 can also include, for example, messages directed to target control devices containing instructions or commands for them to perform certain actions. Qc? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi Target control devices control their respective electrical loads in response to received messages. For example, the system controller 150 can send messages to change light levels, change curtain levels, change HVAC settings, etc. These are examples, and other examples are possible. Communication between the system controller 150, the source control devices, and the target control devices can be via a wired and / or wireless communication network, as previously described. An example of a wireless communication network is a wireless LAN where the system controller, the source control devices, and the target control devices communicate through a router 160, for example, which is local to the user environment 102. Such a network could be a standard Wi-Fi network.Another example of a wireless communications network is a point-to-point network where the system controller, source control devices, and target control devices communicate directly with each other using, for example, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, a proprietary communication channel such as CLEAR CONNECT™, or various mesh networks such as Zigbee or Thread, etc. Other network configurations can be used, such as the system controller acting as an access point and providing one or more wired / wireless networks through which the system controller, source control devices, and target control devices can communicate. For a target control device to respond to messages from a source control device, the source control device may first need to be associated with the target control device. As an example of an association procedure, a user can associate a source control device with a target control device by pressing a button on the source control device and / or the target control device. Pressing the button on the source control device and / or the target control device can place the source control device and / or the target control device into an association mode. In association mode, the source control device can transmit one or more association messages to the target control device (directly or through the system controller).The source control device's association message may include a unique identifier for the source control device. The target control device may locally store this unique identifier, enabling it to recognize digital messages (e.g., digital back-messages) from the source control device, which may include load control instructions or commands. The target control device may be configured to respond to digital messages from the associated source control device (e.g., qc;nnn / Qznz / e / YiAi) by controlling a corresponding electrical load according to the load control instructions received in the digital messages. This is just one example of how control devices can communicate and associate with each other; other examples are possible.According to another example, the system controller 150 can receive configuration instructions from a user specifying which source control devices should control which target control devices. The system controller can then communicate this configuration information to the source control devices and / or target control devices. As an example of a target control device, the load control system 100 may include one or more lighting control devices, such as lighting control devices 112 and 113. Lighting control device 112 may be a dimmer, electronic switch, ballast, light-emitting diode (LED) driver, and / or the like. Lighting control device 112 may be configured to directly control a quantity of power supplied to one or more lighting loads, such as lighting load 114. Lighting control device 112 may be configured to receive digital messages wirelessly via signals 154 (for example, messages originating from a source control device and / or the system controller 150) and to control lighting load 114 in response to the received digital messages.For example, lighting control device 112 can control parameters such as correlated color temperature (CCT), spectrum, intensity, etc., of the light produced by lighting load 114 (assuming that lighting load 115 is configured to produce colored light). It will be recognized that lighting control device 112 and lighting load 114 may be integrated and thus be part of the same arrangement, or they may be separate. Lighting control device 113 may be a wall-mounted dimmer, a wall-mounted switch, or another keypad device for controlling one or more lighting loads, such as lighting load 115. Lighting control device 113 may be adapted for installation in a standard wall-mounted electrical box. Lighting control device 113 may include one or more pushbuttons for controlling lighting load 115. Lighting control device 113 may include a toggle switch. Actuations (e.g., successive actuations) of the toggle switch may alternate (e.g., switch off and on) lighting load 115. Lighting control device 113 may include a dimmer actuator (e.g., a rocker switch or dimmer pushbuttons).The actuators of an upper or lower portion of the intensity adjustment actuator can respectively increase or decrease the amount of energy supplied to the lighting load 115 and thereby increase or decrease the intensity of the receptive lighting load from a minimum intensity (e.g., approximately 1%) to a maximum intensity (e.g., approximately 100%). The lighting control device 113 may include a plurality (two or more) of visual indicators, e.g., light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which may be arranged in a linear array and which may illuminate to provide feedback on the intensity of the lighting load 115. Alternatively, it shall be recognized that the adjustment actuator may be used to control other parameters, such as correlated color temperature (CCT), spectrum, intensity, etc., of the light produced by lighting load 115 (assuming that lighting load 115 is configured to produce colored light). The lighting control device 113 can be configured to wirelessly receive digital messages via wireless signals 154 (e.g., messages generated from a source control device and / or the system controller 150). The lighting control device 113 can be configured to control the lighting load 115 in response to the received digital messages. The load control system 100 may include one or more other target control devices, such as a motorized window treatment 116 for directly controlling the covering material 118 (e.g., via an electric motor); ceiling fans; a tabletop or plug-in load control device 126 for directly controlling a floor lamp 128, a desk lamp, and / or other electrical loads that can be plugged into the plug-in load control device 126; and / or a temperature control device 124 (e.g., a thermostat) for directly controlling an HVAC system (not shown). The load control system 100 may additionally or alternatively include an audio control device (e.g., a speaker system) and / or a video control device (e.g., a device capable of transmitting video content).Again, these devices can be configured to receive digital messages wirelessly via wireless signals 154 (for example, messages generated from a source control device and / or the system controller 150). These devices can then be configured to control the respective electrical loads in response to the received digital messages. The target control devices, in addition to being configured to receive digital messages wirelessly via wireless signals and to control the respective electrical loads in response to the received digital messages, can also be configured to transmit digital messages wirelessly via wireless signals (for example, to the system controller 150 and / or one or more associated control devices). A target control device can communicate such messages to confirm message reception and the actions taken, to report on the status (for example, light levels), etc. Once Qc? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi Furthermore, the target control devices can communicate, additionally or alternatively, via wired communications. With respect to the source control devices, the load control system 100 may include one or more keypads and / or remote control devices 122, one or more presence sensors 110, one or more daylight sensors 108, and / or one or more window sensors 120. The source control devices may wirelessly send or communicate digital messages via wireless signals, such as signals 154, to the associated target control devices to control an electrical load. The remote control device 122 may send digital messages to control one or more target control devices after one or more buttons on the remote control device 122 are pressed. One or more buttons may correspond to a preset scene for controlling the lighting load 115 and / or 114, for example.The presence sensor 110 can send digital messages to target control devices in response to a presence and / or absence condition (e.g., movement or lack of movement) detected within its observable area. The daylight sensor 108 can send digital messages to target control devices in response to the detection of a certain amount of light within its observable area. The window sensor 120 can send digital messages to target control devices in response to a measured level of light received from outside the user environment 102. For example, the window sensor 120 can detect when sunlight is shining directly on the window sensor 120, reflected off the window sensor 120, and / or blocked by external means, such as clouds or a building. The window sensor 120 can send digital messages indicating the measured light level.The 100 load control system may include one or more source control devices. It is further acknowledged that the source control devices may communicate, additionally or alternatively, via wired communications. Referring once again to the 150 system controller, it can facilitate the communication of messages from source control devices to their associated target control devices and / or monitor these messages as previously described. This allows it to be aware of when a source control device detects an event and when a target control device changes the status of an electrical load. It can communicate programming / configuration information to the control devices. It can also be the source of control messages for the target control devices, for example, instructing them to control the corresponding electrical loads.As an example of the latter, the system controller can execute one or more clock-controlled operations that automatically communicate messages to target control devices based on configured schedules (e.g., commands to lighting control device 113 for. Qc? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi adjust the lighting load 115, commands to the lighting control device 112 to adjust the lighting load 114, commands to the motorized window treatment 116 to directly control the covering material 118, etc.). For descriptive purposes only, curtains will be used herein to describe the functions and features related to motorized window treatments. However, it will be recognized that the features and functions described herein are applicable to other types of window coverings such as drapes, curtains, blinds, etc. Other examples are possible.According to an additional aspect of the load control system 100, the system controller 150 can be configured to communicate with one or more network devices 144 in use by one or more users 142, for example. The network device 144 can include a personal computer (PC), a laptop, a tablet, a smartphone, or an equivalent device. The system controller 150 and the network device 144 can communicate via a wired and / or wireless communications network. The communications network can be the same network used by the system controller and the control devices, or it can be a different network (for example, a wireless communications network using wireless signals 152). As an example, the system controller 150 and the network device 144 can communicate via a wireless LAN (for example, one that is local to the user's environment 102).For example, such a network could be a standard Wi-Fi network provided by a local router 160 to the user's environment 102. As another example, the system controller 150 and the network device 144 could communicate directly with each other using, for example, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, etc. Other examples are possible, such as the system controller acting as an access point and providing one or more wired / wireless networks through which the system controller and the network device can communicate. In general, the system controller 150 can be configured to allow a user 142 of the network device 144 to determine, for example, the configuration of the user environment 102 and load control system 100, for example, rooms in the environment, which control devices are in each room (for example, the location of the control devices within the user environment, for example, in which rooms), to determine the status and / or configuration of the control devices (for example, light levels, HVAC levels, curtain levels), to configure the system controller (for example, change clock schedules and reconfigure scenes), to issue commands to the system controller in order to control and / or configure the control devices (for example, change light levels, change HVAC / temperature levels, change curtain levels, change preset settings, etc.), etc.Other examples are possible. The load control system 100 of Fig. 1 can be configured such that the controller Qc? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi of system 150 is only able to communicate with a network device 144 when that device is local to the system controller; in other words, for the two to communicate directly in a point-to-point mode or through a local network specific to the user environment 102 (such as a network provided by a router 160 that is local to the user environment). It may be advantageous to allow a user of the network device 144 to communicate with the system controller 150 and control the load control system 100 from remote locations, such as via the Internet or another public or private network. Similarly, it may be advantageous to allow third-party integrators to communicate with the system controller 150 to provide enhanced services to users in the user environment 102.For example, a third-party integrator may provide other systems within the user environment 102. It may be beneficial to integrate such systems with the load control system 100. With reference now to Fig. 2, an example graph 200 of a lighting show (which may also be referred to herein as a “natural show”) is shown. This show can emulate, for example, natural light, including sunrise and sunset, although other configurations are possible. In general, a “natural show” can refer to programmed changes in parameter values ​​over time (i.e., the time of day). While in Fig.2. Several natural display curves are shown for lighting parameters such as brightness and color temperature, which can be controlled by a lighting control device. Additional natural display curves can be included within the natural display to adjust different or additional parameters for one or more control devices (such as any of the target control devices described herein). Parameter values ​​may include, for example, light spectrum (e.g., power spectral density), intensity, temperature, position of a window treatment covering material / fabric, and / or audio and multimedia control (such as volume, load status on / off, etc.). For example, a thermostat or HVAC device can be integrated into the natural display to adjust the temperature over time.Furthermore, although Figure 200 is shown herein for explanatory purposes, it is understood that a control application may display a similar graphic in a graphical user interface to a user via a network device. For example, the user may use the graphical user interface to enable and / or control the lighting functionality (also referred to herein as "daylighting functionality") for one or more lighting control devices, where the lighting control devices control their respective lighting loads to produce light according to the lighting display in Figure 2. The daylighting functionality may change the color temperature and / or brightness / intensity of one or more lighting control devices / lighting loads in a preselected area to simulate a change in color temperature / brightness of daylight. Qc? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi (for example, over a period of time [e.g., a day, part of a day, etc.]). The network device can communicate with the lighting control devices via a system controller as described herein. For example, daylighting functionality can be defined on the network device and stored in the system controller for deployment to the lighting control devices in a preselected zone. Alternatively, the network device can communicate directly with the lighting control devices, for example, via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The daylighting feature can be enabled for a predefined zone when a trigger button is activated on a keypad or an application on a network device, and the daylighting functionality can be deactivated when the trigger button is deactivated. Additionally, and / or alternatively, the daylighting functionality can be activated / deactivated through one or more clock events. Chart 200 can include one or more x and y axes. For example, Chart 200 can include a correlated color temperature (CCT) axis 202, an intensity axis 204, and / or a time axis 206. The color temperature axis can represent a color temperature at which one or more lighting control devices (e.g., one or more LED lights) within a zone (e.g., a room in a building) can be controlled. The color temperature axis can be a range of color temperature values ​​along the blackbody curve. For example, the color temperature axis can range from 2000 K to 7000 K, or some other range in between. The color temperature axis can be located as a y-axis on the left side of the graph, as shown, although the color temperature axis can be located elsewhere on the graph (e.g., the right side). The intensity axis can represent a brightness level at which lighting control devices within the zone can be set. The intensity axis can range from, for example, 0% to 100%. The intensity axis can be positioned as a y-axis on the right side of the graph, although it can also be located elsewhere on the graph (e.g., the left side). Color temperature and brightness can be controlled over time according to the curves defined in Figure 200. For example, the color temperature of lighting control devices can have a CCT curve (208) that defines the changes in color temperature over time. Additionally, the brightness of lighting control devices can have a brightness curve (210) that defines the changes in brightness over time. The time axis can display a time of day in several predefined or user-defined increments. The length of the time axis can represent the duration of a day or a portion of a day. For example, the time axis can start at midnight and end at midnight the following day. In another example, the time axis can represent a period during which... Qc? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi can turn on the lighting control devices, or the period in which the daylighting functionality can be enabled, such as a period between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm. Additionally, the time of day 206 shown in Fig. 2 can be a show time, i.e., a system time for the daylighting display. Time of day 206 can be the same as the current time of day, for example. The load control system can maintain a system time that corresponds to the times when a scene is played (i.e., going to specific parameters defined by the daylighting display curves). As shown, the brightness and color temperature at which lighting control devices can be controlled may change depending on the time of day, according to brightness curve 210 and color temperature curve 208. For example, the color temperature may be cooler between times T2 and T3 (e.g., between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm) compared to the color temperature at times T1 and T4 (e.g., at sunrise and sunset). The brightness of the lighting control devices may also change depending on the time of day. It should be understood that brightness curve 210 and CCT curve 208 are shown only as examples, and that alternative or additional parameter value curves that change over time may be part of a natural phenomenon.Furthermore, one or more elements of the load control system (i.e., a source control device, a destination control device, for example) can store portions of the natural display (e.g., a parameter value corresponding to the system time) in memory, which can be retrieved and implemented at the corresponding system time. One or more thresholds can be set on the time axis for a start time and / or an end time where changes can be made to the intensity and / or color temperature. For example, the color temperature of the natural light provided in a space by the lighting control devices can increase earlier in the day (e.g., toward a cooler color temperature, for example, to simulate sunrise) and decrease later in the day (e.g., toward a warmer color temperature, for example, to simulate sunset).Thresholds can be indicated on the 200 chart by vertical dashed lines. For example, as shown in Fig. 2, the 200 chart can include a "Start Increase" threshold 220 at T1, a "Stop Increase" threshold 222 at T2, a "Start Decrease" threshold 224 at T3, and a "Stop Decrease" threshold 226 at T4. Between the time of day indicated by the "Start Increase" threshold T1 and the time of day indicated by the "Stop Increase" threshold T2, the color temperature of the lighting control devices may increase from a minimum color temperature of 212 to a maximum color temperature of 214. Between the time of day indicated by the "Start Increase" threshold T1 and the time of day indicated by the "Stop Increase" threshold T2, the brightness of the Qc? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi Lighting control devices can increase from a minimum brightness level 216 until a maximum brightness level 218 is met. For example, the "Start Increase" threshold T1 can be set at 6:00 am and the "Finish Increase" threshold T2 can be set at 9:00 am. From the period between the "Start Increase" threshold T1 and the "Finish Increase" threshold T2, the color temperature of the lighting control devices can increase from 2800 K to 4000 K and the brightness can increase from 85% to 100%. Similarly, between the time of day indicated by the "Start Decrease" threshold T3 and the time of day indicated by the "Stop Decrease" threshold T4, the color temperature and / or brightness of the lighting control devices can decrease from the maximum color temperature / brightness to the minimum color temperature / brightness. For example, the "Start Decrease" threshold T3 can be set to 5:00 pm and the "Stop Decrease" threshold T4 can be set to 8:00 pm. Between the time of day indicated by the "Start Decrease" threshold T3 and the time indicated by the "Stop Decrease" threshold T4, the color temperature of the lighting control devices can decrease from 4000 K to 2800 K, and the brightness can increase from 100% to 85%.The color temperature / brightness of the lighting control devices can change linearly, gradually, according to a sigmoid function (e.g., as shown in Fig. 2), etc. The periods (as indicated by T1, T2, T3, and T4) during which the color temperature / brightness of the lighting control devices increases or decreases can be set automatically or selected by the user. The periods during which the color temperature / brightness of the lighting control devices increases or decreases can be set by default to sunrise / sunset at the location of the lighting control devices, and this can be modified by the user. The lighting control devices can have a default minimum / maximum color temperature value of 212, 214 and / or a default minimum / maximum brightness value of 216, 218.The default color temperature settings and / or brightness levels may depend on the types of lighting control devices implemented in the predefined zone or area. A user can manually adjust one or more parameters of the natural light show while the show is active and the lighting control devices are being controlled accordingly. For example, a user can change the intensity and / or color temperature of the show by pressing one or more buttons on a keypad, mobile device, etc., to increase or decrease the intensity, color temperature, etc., of the show for a given area. The color temperature and brightness may change depending on the time of day. Furthermore, the color temperature may change in relation to the brightness based on the user's intensity setting. For example, if a user were to decrease the intensity (and therefore the brightness) at time T4, the The color temperature could also become warmer (i.e., warm dimming), whereas if a user were to decrease the intensity at time T3, the color temperature might not change substantially. Examples of color temperature change depending on the time of day and brightness are described in greater detail in U.S. Patent No. 9,795,000, issued October 17, 2017, entitled “ILLUMINATION DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUALLY ADJUSTING AUTOMATED CHANGES IN EXTERIOR DAYLIGHT AMONG SELECT GROUPS OF ILLUMINATION DEVICES PLACED IN VARIOUS ROOMS OF A STRUCTURE,” the contents of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference. The natural light show can provide intuitive daytime lighting that mimics natural sunlight and further optimizes the Color Rendering Index (CRI). It can also optimize parameters such as circadian stimulation (CS) and other parameters, such as the melanopic lux equivalent (MLE). Furthermore, the natural light show can be configured to suit personal and situational preferences. For example, an early riser might adjust the show to start earlier, or a particular user might prefer a cooler overall CCT experience. The natural light show can be adjusted and modified to suit specific users, as illustrated by the examples above.The curves of the natural spectacle (e.g., CCT, brightness) can be stored in memory and retrieved at various times as the spectacle changes over time relative to the spectacle / system time. While the natural spectacle depicted in Fig. 2 is shown for a lighting control device with brightness and CCT curves, other control devices may respond to a natural spectacle and change various parameters over time. For example, for a lighting control device, additional parameters such as vividness, spectrum (i.e., power spectral density), etc., may also have corresponding curves with parameter values ​​that change relative to the spectacle time of the natural spectacle. In another example, control devices such as motorized window treatments, audio and / or video devices, temperature control devices, etc.They can also be part of the natural spectacle with their own curves to adjust parameters such as the position / level of a window cover, volume, audio station / type of audio content, video station / type of video content, load status (e.g., TV power control), ambient temperature, etc., with respect to the time of the spectacle / system. Other examples are possible. Once the natural show has been created and programmed, a user can adjust it as needed for specific scenarios. For example, the show time / system of the natural show might be set to the current time of day; however, a user can change the show time / system of the natural show relative to the current time of day to effectively change the brightness and / or color temperature of the natural show to revert to a previous brightness (or advance to a future one) and / or the color temperature of the natural show according to the graph. For example, the natural show (i.e., the predefined gradual adjustments of color / brightness in a series of scenes over time, as shown in the graph in Fig.2, for example) may have been configured at the time of system setup to provide bright light and a color temperature appropriate for a user who normally returns home and prepares dinner around 6:00 pm. However, when a user returns home at a different time, for example, 8:00 pm, the user can adjust (i.e., temporarily adjust) the natural show system time by two hours, for example, so that the lighting control devices emit the scene-appropriate light (CCT and intensity, for example) that is programmed to appear at 6:00 pm. Figures 3A and 3B show two example graphical user interfaces (GUIs) of a mobile application on respective network devices (such as network device 144 in Figure 1, for example). The example mobile application can allow a user to temporarily adjust the natural spectacle settings. For example, the GUI can display the current spectacle time 310 (i.e., the system time). During normal natural spectacle operation, the spectacle time 310 may be the same as the actual time of day 315. The mobile application can provide the user with the option to adjust the current spectacle time. For example, Figure 3A shows a digital clock 314 that a user can tap (i.e., press) or slide to adjust the system time 310. According to another example, Figure 3B shows an analog clock 316 that has one or more hands (i.e., minutes, hours, etc.).), which a user can manually press and drag to adjust the system time 310. The mobile application may also include a slider, for example, slider 318, to indicate whether the set time refers to AM or PM. For example, a user can drag slider 318 to the right to indicate PM, or the user can drag the slider to the left to indicate AM. It is understood that the GUIs shown here are presented only as examples, and that other GUIs providing similar functionality for adjusting the current show time are considered within the scope of this description. For example, the show time may be represented as a 24-hour clock instead of a 12-hour clock with AM and PM times. Other examples are possible. Figure 4 is an example of a 400 keypad that allows a user to temporarily adjust the natural display settings. The 400 keypad can be used instead of, or as an alternative to, the mobile applications shown in Figures 3A and 3B. What? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi Keypad 400 may have multiple 420-430 buttons. For example, button 420 can be configured to turn the natural display on and off. When a user presses button 420 to turn the natural display on, it can begin playing at a system time equal to the current time of day. When a user presses button 420 a second time to turn the natural display off, it can stop adjusting parameter values ​​over time and maintain the parameter values ​​indefinitely (i.e., keep the parameter values ​​static). Buttons 422-426 can indicate specific static scenes (i.e., scenes with static parameter values ​​that do not change over time). When a user presses one of the static scene buttons 422-426 while Natural Show 420 is enabled, Natural Show can be turned off in favor of the static scene. For example, the keypad can transmit a scene command to one or more target control devices and / or the system controller to cause the target control devices to change parameter values ​​according to the defined static scene. For example, the static scene might have one or more static parameter values, such as a defined light intensity and color temperature output that does not change over time.For example, button 422 might correspond to a wake-up scene with high light intensity and a high (cool) color temperature, button 424 might correspond to a dinner scene with medium light intensity and a medium color temperature, and button 426 might correspond to a bedtime scene with very low light intensity and a low (warm) color temperature. It should be understood that static scenes can also include parameter values ​​(i.e., static parameter values ​​that do not change over time) for other types of control devices, such as thermostats (temperature), audio devices (volume), and televisions (on / off charging status). Other examples are possible. Each of the buttons 420-426 can include an indicator light 410 (e.g., a light-emitting diode). The respective indicator light 410 can illuminate in response to a button 420-426 being pressed. In this way, the indicator lights 410 can indicate which button (or scene) is currently active. For example, when a user presses button 442, the corresponding indicator light 410 can illuminate. Buttons 428 and 430 can be used to manually adjust the natural show. For example, a user can manually press button 428 to rewind the natural show (i.e., move the current show backward in time), and they can manually press button 430 to fast-forward the natural show (i.e., move the current show forward in time). As a first example, a user can press and hold either button 428 or 430 to rewind or fast-forward the natural show, respectively, in real time. When button 428 or 430 is pressed, the natural show time (i.e., the system time) may begin to adjust relative to the current time of day, thus adjusting the color and / or intensity of the light output in the space, giving the user instant feedback on the adjustment.For example, the color and / or intensity of the light output (and / or other parameters) can be adjusted over time along the curves of the natural show, such as the CCT 208 curve and the brightness 210 curve shown in Fig. 2. As a second example, a user can press buttons 428 or 430 one or more times to advance or rewind the natural show time, respectively, in predefined increments. For example, a user can press buttons 428 or 430 once to advance or rewind the natural show time by 15 minutes, twice for 30 minutes, and so on. It is understood that other increments (30 minutes, 1 hour, etc.) can be used. Furthermore, the user can program or configure the time increment by which the natural show time can be adjusted. According to another example, buttons 428 and 430 can be associated with decreasing and increasing the intensity, respectively, to change the show / system time (i.e., changing the color temperature and intensity of the light output while following the brightness and color temperature curves of the natural show over time, as defined by the natural show, for example, as shown in Fig. 2). Changing the intensity following the dimming curve of the natural show (i.e., also changing the corresponding color temperature) can provide improved aesthetics of the light output and better light quality compared to manually adjusting the intensity of the natural show's light. The direction (rewind / advance) in time, as well as the time increment for the change, can depend on the predefined and time-programmed dimming curve for the natural light show. To create this change in intensity and color by adjusting the show time, buttons 428 and 430 can change function depending on the time of day. For example, when a user presses button 428 to decrease the intensity at the beginning of the day, the show time can rewind relative to the current time to produce the desired output. However, when a user presses button 428 to decrease the intensity at a later time of day, the show time can advance relative to the current time to produce the desired output, as will be discussed in more detail later. In addition to the modes described herein, the 400 keyboard can be used as part of a GUI for a mobile application, such as the GUIs shown in Figs. 3A and 3B, for example. Other examples are possible. Figure 5A is a flowchart of an example natural spectacle load control system. The load control system depicted may have a source control device (i.e., an input device such as a keyboard or a network device, for example) that transmits commands to one or more target control devices (shown as qc; nnn / Qznz / e / YiAi as control devices that control lighting loads and / or window treatments, for example). A keyboard will be used as an example here. According to this example, the target control devices can change one or more parameters of their respective loads based on receiving a command from the source control device. The source control device can send commands to the target control devices at specific times during the natural spectacle system, based on the natural spectacle curves, as shown in Fig. 2. For example, at the first hour of the day (Ta), the keypad can transmit command A to the control devices. In response to receiving command A, the control devices can adjust the light output accordingly.For example, control devices can adjust the respective color temperature and / or intensity outputs of their respective lighting loads for the given command based on the time of the natural show, and the window treatment can adjust a level of window coverage according to the given command and the time of the natural show. At a later time during the day (Tb), the keyboard can transmit command B to the control devices. In response to receiving command B, the control devices can adjust the light output accordingly. For example, the control devices can adjust the respective color temperature and / or intensity outputs of their lighting loads based on the given command and the time of the natural display, and the window blinds can adjust their coverage level according to the given command and the time of the natural display. At some point after daytime Tby but before daytime Tc occurs, the keypad (or other source control or input device) may receive a command (from a user, for example) to rewind or advance the natural show (i.e., a request to adjust the natural show time relative to the actual time of day). In response to receiving the command to rewind (or advance) the natural show, the keypad may send an adjusted command. For example, the keypad may send command A to rewind the natural show (return to time Ta), or it may send command D to advance the natural show (advance to time TD). In response to receiving command A or command D, respectively, the control devices may retrieve the settings for command A or command D and adjust the light output of their respective lighting loads accordingly. The adjusted natural show can continue playing at the set showtime / system time until a timeout condition occurs, causing the showtime / system time to reset to match the actual time of day. When the timeout condition occurs, the keypad can send an X command (e.g., corresponding to the current time of day, Tx), and the control devices can retrieve the settings for the X command and resume the natural show according to the actual time of day (i.e., reset the showtime from the set showtime to match the current / actual time of day). According to one example, the AX commands shown here can include commands to go to a specific parameter value (e.g., intensity, color temperature, or window coverage level). In another example, the AX commands can include a show time, and the control devices can receive the show time and, based on the received show time, determine the corresponding parameter values ​​(e.g., color temperature, intensity, and / or window coverage levels) by retrieving the parameter values ​​from memory, for example, from a stored lookup table. Figure 5B is a flow diagram of the example system for a natural spectacle in a load control system. Figure 5B may have elements similar to those in Figure 5A, for example, including one or more input devices (source control devices) which may include a keypad, a network device, etc., as shown, and one or more target control devices (shown as control devices that control lighting loads and / or window treatment, for example). The system in Fig. 5B may additionally include a system controller. The system controller can be configured to receive commands from input devices. For example, the system controller may receive commands directly from the keyboard, as shown. Alternatively, the system controller may receive commands from the network device via a wired and / or wireless communications network (for example, via a wireless router, such as the 160 router shown in Fig. 1). In the system shown in Fig. 5B, the system controller (instead of the keypad in Fig. 5A) can be configured to transmit commands to the control devices. That is, the system controller can track the current system / show time for the natural spectacle. For example, at the first hour of the day, Ta, the system controller can transmit command A to the control devices. In response to receiving command A, the control devices can adjust the light output of their respective lighting loads accordingly. For instance, the control devices can adjust the respective color temperature and / or intensity outputs of their lighting loads based on the given command and the time of the natural spectacle, and the window treatment can adjust the window coverage level / position according to the given command and the time of the natural spectacle. The natural spectacle can progress with system time as the system controller sends command B at time Tb, and the control devices respond to command B as previously described for Fig. 5A. At some point between time Tb and time Tc, one of the input devices (keyboard, network device, etc.) may receive a drive indicating a command to rewind or advance the natural spectacle (i.e., to adjust the system time with respect to the current time of day). The input device can then transmit a command to rewind or advance the natural spectacle to the system controller. The system controller can receive and interpret the command from the input device. For example, the command might include which button was pressed on a keypad, or the amount of time (or number of times) a button was pressed on the keypad (the keypad might include, for example, the keypad shown in Fig. 4). The system controller can interpret the command to correlate the amount of time (or number of times) the button was pressed with a time to adjust the natural show in relation to the time of day. In another example, the command received by the system controller from the input device might include a desired show time to which the user wants to adjust the current show / system time. The show time might be received from a network device, as shown in Figs. 3A and 3B, for example. Other examples are possible. In response to receiving and interpreting the command to rewind (or advance) the natural display, the system controller can transmit an adjusted command. For example, the system controller can send command A to rewind the natural display (return to time Ta), or it can send command D to advance the natural display (advance to time TD). In response to receiving command A or command D, respectively, the control devices can adjust the light output of their respective lighting loads according to the received command A or command D. The adjusted natural display can continue indefinitely (as described in Fig. 5A) until a timeout condition occurs, causing the display time to reset to match the actual time of day. When the timeout condition occurs, the system controller can send a command X (e.g., corresponding to time of day Tx), and the control devices can resume the natural display according to the actual time of day. As described earlier for Fig. 5A, the AX commands transmitted by the system controller to the control devices can include commands to set a specific intensity, color temperature, and window coverage level. In another example, the AX commands can include a system / show time, and the control devices can receive the show time and, based on that time, determine the corresponding color temperature, intensity, and / or window coverage levels by retrieving those values ​​from memory, as shown in Fig. 5B. According to yet another example, the control devices can retrieve stored parameters of the natural show based on the current time of day and respond to one or more triggers to adjust the show time.For example, control devices can reproduce the natural spectacle and operate independently of commands from the system controller, and they can receive (directly or through the system controller) the command to adjust the spectacle time. The control devices can then adjust the respective parameters of the natural spectacle according to the new spectacle / system time until a timeout or trigger condition occurs, causing the control devices to reset the system time to the actual time of day. Figure 6A is an example of method 600 for adjusting the time of a natural spectacle with respect to a time of day, corresponding to Figures 5A and 5B. Method 600 will be generically described as being carried out by a device, which a person skilled in the art will understand to be any of the various components of the load control system, for example, one or more input devices, the system controller, and one or more target control devices. Method 600 can begin at step 610 with the natural spectacle, which can be initiated, for example, in response to pressing a button. The control devices (i.e., target control devices, such as one or more light sources, window treatments, etc.) can then begin adjusting parameter values ​​(for example, the CCT, intensity, position of a window treatment covering material, etc.).) depending on the time of day (i.e., the show time, Showtime) in response to pressing the button. The parameter values ​​referenced herein may include, but are not limited to: light intensity, color, light spectrum (e.g., power spectral density), color temperature, vividness, ambient temperature, position of a window treatment covering material / fabric, and audio and multimedia controls (such as volume, charging status on / off, etc.). The show time, Showtime, may be the same as the current time of day, Time. Tespectáculo = Treal [1] The show time Tespectáculo can continue in time coinciding with the current time of day Treal according to the above equation [1], with the control devices adjusting their respective parameter values ​​in response to changes in show time as shown in Fig. 5A and 5B, as commands A, B are sent and the respective settings are retrieved, e.g., in response to commands received or as determined internally by the control devices. In stage 620, one of the load control system devices can receive a user request to change the show time. For example, an input device, such as a keypad or network device, can receive the request via a button press or input from a mobile application. The request to change the show time can be made by a user pressing a button multiple times to increase (decrease) the show time, or by holding the button down to change the show time. The number of button presses or the duration of the button press (on a keypad or network device, for example) can be used to calculate the corresponding desired change in the show time relative to the time of day.This calculation can be performed internally on the input device, on the system controller and / or with the target control devices. According to a first example, the request to change the show time could be a request to increase the show time by an amount ATaum (as transmitted by the input device or determined by the system controller and / or the target control devices). According to a second example, the request could be to decrease the show time by an amount ATdis-. According to a third example, the request could be to go to a specific show time, T new_show. In response to the request, the method can proceed to step 630 by determining the current time of day. Step 630 can be implemented using the input device, the system controller, or the target control device. For example, the input device, the system controller, or the target control device can determine the current time of day using a real-time clock. After determining the current time of day, the device (an input device, a system controller, or a control device) can override the natural spectacle time. The system override of the natural spectacle can be activated by setting the spectacle time based on the current time of day and the received request according to equations [2]-[4], as shown in the following table. qc; nnn / cznz / e / YiAi Request Show Time Advance time in ATaum Show = Treal + ATaum [2] Set back time in ATdis Show = Treal - ATdis [3] Go to Time New_show Show = New_show [4] For example, when a device (input device, system controller, or control device) receives a request to advance (set back) the time in ATaum (ATdis), the showtime TeShow can be increased (decreased) by that amount relative to the current time of day Treal according to equations [2] and [3], respectively. In a second example, when a device receives a request to go to a specific showtime TESPECTÁcuLo_NUEvo, the device can adjust the showtime TeShow to be equal to the specific showtime TEspectáculo_nuevo, as shown in equation [4]. Adjusting the showtime so that it does not match the current time of day can be a temporary system override, as will be described in more detail herein. After setting the show time, the method can continue in step 650 by determining one or more parameter values ​​at the set show time. This can be done by the input devices, the system controller, or the control devices. For example, as previously described in Figures 5A and 5B, when the commands transmitted to the control device(s) include the show time (TeShow), step 650 can be performed by the control device(s). In another example, when the command(s) transmitted to the control device(s) include the specific parameter values ​​corresponding to the show time (TeShow), step 650 can be performed by either the input device(s) or the system controller. The parameter values ​​can be determined based on one or more tables stored in a device's memory. For example, the table might include one or more parameter values ​​at specific times of day. For instance, the parameters of a lighting device or lamp might include color temperature and intensity at various times of day. The table can then be used to determine the parameter values ​​at showtime (i.e., by interpolating between the times defined in the table or by gradually adjusting the parameter values ​​between each time point). At stage 660, the control devices can adjust their respective parameter values ​​based on the parameter values ​​determined at the set show time. After adjusting the parameter values, in step 670, the device can determine whether to exit system override (i.e., reset the set show time to the current time of day after a timeout condition has occurred). This determination can be made in several different ways, examples of which will be described herein with reference to Figures 7A and 7B. When the device determines to exit system override (i.e., reset the set showtime), the method can progress to step 680, where the device can resume adjusting parameter values ​​based on the current time of day. That is, the showtime TeShow can be reset to match the current time of day Treal, according to equation [1]. Then, the method can terminate. When the device determines not to exit system override at stage 670, the device can continue adjusting parameter values ​​based on the set show time. Qc? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi in stage 690, periodically determining whether to exit system override in stage 670 until it exits override, where normal show resumes in stage 680, and the method ends. Figure 6B illustrates another method of overriding a natural spectacle system by changing the value of a parameter and correspondingly changing the spectacle time to alter that parameter value. For example, if a user wishes to increase or decrease the intensity of one or more lighting loads, such as light fixtures, lamps, etc., the highest quality light output can be achieved by changing the intensity at the same time as the spectacle time (i.e., by advancing or delaying the natural spectacle). However, depending on the specific schedule of the natural spectacle, a user may not know how to change the spectacle time to trigger the desired intensity change.Therefore, the 600' method allows a user to input a change in a parameter value, and the system can determine how to adjust the natural spectacle time accordingly (i.e., change the parameter value according to the predefined curve IDs of the natural spectacle). The 600' method can be similar to the 600' method in Fig. 6A, where the same numbers correspond to the same stages. For example, stages 610', 630', and 640'-690' can correspond to stages 610, 630, and 640-690 in Fig. 6A. The method can begin at stage 610, when the natural spectacle begins to play and a device in the load control system starts adjusting one or more parameter values ​​based on the current time of day, Treal. At stage 615, an input device (e.g., a keypad, a mobile device, etc.) can receive a request to change the value of a parameter by an amount ΔY. The change in the parameter value ΔY can be either an increase or a decrease in the parameter value. For example, button 428 on keypad 400 in Fig. 4 can be pressed once (or held down for a time increment, e.g., one second) to decrease the intensity by 5%. In response to receiving a request to increase or decrease the parameter value, the method can proceed to step 630' by determining the current time of day (TREal), as previously described in Fig. 6A. Step 630' can be implemented using the input device, the system controller, or the target control device. For example, the input device or the system controller can determine the current time of day (TREal) using a real-time clock. In step 635, the change in show time required to satisfy the change request can be determined. For example, a load control system device can use the requested parameter value change ΔY, along with the current parameter value at the current time. Qc? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi of the day to determine the desired parameter value Ynew- For example, if the current intensity Yactual is at 80%, and the requested parameter value change ΔY is a decrease of 5%, the desired parameter value Ynew is an intensity of 75%. The desired parameter value Ynew can be used to determine the change in show time required to meet the change request. The timing of the show to accommodate a change request may depend on the natural spectacle's configuration and the current time of day. For example, for the natural spectacle depicted in Fig. 2, the intensity increases between time T1 and time T2, and decreases between time T3 and time T4. Consequently, if the desired change in the parameter value is a decrease in intensity, when the current time of day is between time T1 and time T2, the device may adjust the show time backward to decrease the intensity by the desired amount ΔY. However, when the current time of day is between time T3 and time T4 (with the intensity decreasing over time), the device may adjust the show time forward to decrease the intensity by the desired amount ΔY. The device can determine whether to advance or delay the spectacle time relative to the time of day to accommodate the requested parameter value change ΔY, based on the natural spectacle configuration. For example, the natural spectacle might be defined by a table of parameter values ​​at various times of day. Based on the current time of day and the current parameter value, the device can then determine whether to advance or delay the spectacle time relative to the current time of day. This can be achieved in several ways. Because natural spectacle curves can take any shape, the device can use analytical techniques to determine the spectacle time on the natural spectacle curves that best correspond to the desired parameter value.For example, if the requested parameter change is a decrease in intensity, the device can determine the intensity at a time of day prior to the current time (i.e., the previous value recorded in the table immediately before the current time), and the intensity at a time of day immediately following the current time. The device can then compare the two intensities with the desired intensity Ynew to determine which is closer. For example, the device might determine that the intensity at a time of day immediately following the current time is closer to the desired intensity Ynew than an intensity at a time of day immediately preceding the current time (i.e., the show time must be moved forward relative to the current time to achieve the desired intensity Ynew).The device can continue adjusting the show time forward in time to reach a value closer to Ynew until the difference between the intensity of the time of the is minimized. Qc? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi show adjusted. Additionally, the device can determine that the desired parameter value Ynew lies between two show times in the table. In this case, the device can choose to adjust the show time to the show time with a corresponding parameter value that is closest to Ynew, or the device can interpolate between the two show times to reach the desired parameter value Ynew and save the new interpolated show time and Ynew value as a new entry in the table. It should be understood that this is just one example and that other examples and numerical techniques can be used to achieve similar results. For example, the device can use the parameter value table to determine local (or global) maxima and minima. For instance, the device can determine, for a requested intensity decrease, where the local minimum lies. If the local minimum occurs before the current time of day, the device can determine to move the show time back relative to the current time of day. If the local minimum occurs after the current time of day, the device can determine to move the show time forward relative to the current time of day. Alternatively, this can be determined using slope, binary search, or other numerical methods. In step 640', the device can adjust the show time to the new show time to accommodate the requested change in the parameter value ΔY. This determination can be made using an input device, a system controller, or one or more control devices, as previously described with reference to Fig. 6A. In step 650', the device can determine one or more parameter values ​​at the adjusted show time (i.e., in addition to the adjusted new Y parameter). For example, the device can also determine a color temperature at the new show time. In stage 660, one or more control devices (i.e., target control devices such as lighting control devices, window treatments, audio devices, etc.) can adjust the parameter values ​​based on the time of the new show. In stage 665, the input device that received the request to change the parameter value in stage 615 can determine if an additional request to change the parameter value has been received. For example, keypad 400 can determine if a user pressed / activated button 428 a second time, or held button 428 down for an additional increment of time (e.g., one second).If the input device determines that an additional request has been received, the method can return to step 615 and continue calculating the change and adjusting the show time (and therefore the parameter value, e.g., intensity) in real time. That is, control devices (e.g., one or more lighting fixtures) can adjust the show time (and thus change the light output by adjusting one or more parameter values) in real time. The user can stop. Qc? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi Press / hold button 428 (or 430) when the light output in the room matches the light output selected by the user. As previously described for Fig. 6A, after adjusting the parameter values ​​in step 670, the device can determine whether to exit system override. This determination can be made in several different ways, examples of which will be described herein with reference to Figs. 7A and 7B. When the device determines to exit system override, the method can progress to step 680, where the device can resume adjusting parameter values ​​based on the current time of day. That is, the showtime Tespectáculo can be reset to match the current time of day Treal, according to equation [1]. The method can then terminate. When the device determines not to exit system override at step 670', the device may continue adjusting parameter values ​​based on the show time set at step 690', periodically determining whether to exit system override at step 670' until it exits override, normal show resumes at step 680', and the method ends. While the methods described herein outline the adjustment of parameter values ​​(e.g., CCT and intensity) based on the set show time, the parameter values ​​for each show time may differ depending on whether the show time is the same as the current time of day or if the show time is adjusted (set back / advanced) relative to the current time of day. For example, the parameter values ​​for a show time of 6:00 pm at the current time of 6:00 pm may not necessarily be equivalent to the parameter values ​​for a show time adjusted from 6:00 pm to the current time of 8:00 pm. That is, adjusting the show time may cause the control devices not only to adjust the show time but also to adjust which natural show curves are used at that show time in the natural show, based on the adjustment.For example, if the show time is set to 6:00 pm when the current time of day is 8:00 pm, the natural show above may include show curves for lighting control devices and a show curve for a position / level of a cover for a window treatment, when the window treatment cover may be open / partially open at 6:00 pm and may be fully closed at 8:00 pm. When the show time is delayed to 6:00 pm, however, the show curve for a window treatment control device may be removed from the natural show to prevent the window treatment from opening its cover at the 6:00 pm show time as defined by the treatment's natural show curve. Qc? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi of the window (since it may be dark outside at the current time of day of 8:00 pm), while the lighting control devices can remain as part of the natural show and can revert the respective parameters to the adjusted show time of 6:00 pm In another example, a showtime of 6 pm (corresponding to a daytime of 6 pm) can be programmed to set the lights to intensity A and color temperature B and play a music station or playlist at 50% volume. According to a first example, a showtime of 6:00 pm (corresponding to a daytime of 8:00 pm) can be programmed to turn on the lights to intensity A and color temperature B, and play the music station or playlist at 50% volume, thus completely recreating the exact showtime of 6:00 pm when the current time of day is 6:00 pm. Alternatively, according to a second example, a showtime of 6:00 pm (corresponding to a daytime of 8:00 pm) can be programmed to turn on the lights to intensity A and color temperature B, and play the music station or playlist at 50% volume.It can be programmed to turn on the lights at intensity A and color temperature B, but it may not turn on the music station or playlist. According to a third example, the set show time of 6:00 pm (corresponding to a daytime of 8:00 pm) can be programmed to turn on the lights at intensity C and color temperature D. Other examples are possible. Figures 7A and 7B depict example processes 700, 750 that may occur in conjunction with methods 600, 600' of Figures 6A and 6B, and may also be used in steps 670, 670', respectively, to determine whether to exit system override. Process 700 in Fig. 7A can begin when the show time is set in step 710 (corresponding to steps 640 and 640' in Figs. 6A and 6B). In response to the show time setting, the device can start a timer in step 720. For example, if the device is a system controller, it can start the timer when the command to set the show time is transmitted to a control device. As a second example, if the device is a control device, it can start the timer when the electrical load parameter values ​​(i.e., current, etc.) are set. Other examples are possible. In step 730, the device can determine whether the timer is equal to or has exceeded a predetermined timeout threshold. The device can determine whether the timer is equal to or has exceeded the predetermined timeout threshold by comparing the timer to the predetermined timeout threshold. If the timer has not exceeded the timeout threshold, the device can continue to periodically execute step 730 (for example, every ten minutes, or at any other desired time increment) until the timer exceeds the timeout threshold. When the timer is equal to or exceeds the threshold Qc? nnn / eznz / E / YiAi waiting time, the device can determine to exit system override in step 740. For example, the waiting time threshold can be a fixed amount of time, e.g., one hour; or the threshold can be set by a user. Upon exiting system override, methods 600, 600' of Fig. 6A and 6B can continue with step 680, 680' and can change the show time to match the current time of day, adjusting the corresponding parameter values ​​accordingly. For example, one or more lighting control devices can gradually adjust the light intensity using a fade rate, e.g. Process 750 in Fig. 7B can begin when the showtime is set in step 760 (corresponding to steps 640 and 640' in Figs. 6A and 6B). In step 770, the device can determine whether the current time of day (Treal) is greater than or equal to a reset time (Treal) by comparing the current time of day with the reset time. The reset time (Treal) can be a fixed value, for example, 12:00 AM, or it can be configured by a user. If the current time of day (Treal) is not greater than or equal to the reset time (Treal), the device can continue to periodically execute step 770 (for example, every ten minutes, or at any other desired time increment) until the current time of day (Treal) is greater than or equal to the reset time (Treal), at which point the method can progress to step 780 and the device can determine to exit system override.Upon exiting the system override, methods 600, 600' of Figs. 6A and 6B can continue with stage 680, 680' and can change the show time to match the current time of day, adjusting the corresponding parameter values ​​accordingly. Processes 700 and 750, described in Figures 7A and 7B, are provided as example methods (i.e., timeout conditions) for determining when to exit system override in steps 670 and 670' of Figures 6A and 6B; however, other methods are possible. For example, a user can press a button on keypad 400 in Figure 4, such as the natural show button 420, or one or more of buttons 422–426 (e.g., static scene or show buttons) to exit system override. When system override is exited, the show time can be reset to the current time of day, even if the current scene / show is static and does not change over time.
