Multimode switch for commissioning of functional wireless lighting groups
First Claim
1. A multimode switch, comprising:
- a wireless transceiver, configured to transmit and receive messages over a wireless network;
a line voltage switch, coupled to a line voltage and to one or more wireless devices; and
a switch controller, responsive to first messages received over said wireless network, configured to direct said line voltage switch to provide said line voltage to, and subsequently remove line voltage from, said one or more wireless devices, and configured to receive first identifying information and functional group designation for said one or more wireless devices in second messages over said wireless network, and configured to thereafter control said one or more wireless devices according to said identifying information and functional group designation via transmission of third messages over said wireless network.

Abstract
A multimode switch is provided that has a wireless transceiver, a line voltage switch, and a switch controller. The wireless transceiver is configured to transmit and receive messages over a wireless network. The line voltage switch is coupled to a line voltage and to one or more wireless devices. The switch controller, responsive to first messages received over the wireless network, is configured to direct the line voltage switch to provide the line voltage to, and subsequently remove line voltage from, the one or more wireless devices, and is configured to receive first identifying information and functional group designation for the one or more wireless devices in second messages over the wireless network, and is configured to thereafter control the one or more wireless devices according to the identifying information and functional group designation via transmission of third messages over the wireless network.
