Gesture-based load control
First Claim
1. A control device for controlling an amount of power provided to electrical loads via a plurality of load control devices, the control device comprising:
- a controller configured to;
identify a gesture indicated by a user, wherein the gesture is associated with a scene that is configured to control the plurality of load control devices;
determine the plurality of load control devices based on the gesture;
determine control instructions for each load control device of the plurality of load control devices based on the gesture; and
send the control instructions for each load control device of the plurality of load control devices to control the amount of power provided to the electrical loads.

Abstract
A load control system may include load control devices for controlling an amount of power provided to an electrical load. The load control devices may be capable of controlling the amount of power provided to the electrical load based on control instructions received from a gesture-based control device. The gesture-based control device may identify gestures performed by a user for controlling a load control device and provide control instructions to the load control device based on the identified gestures. The gestures may be identified based on images received from a motion capture device. A gesture may be associated with a scene that includes a configuration of one or more load control devices in a load control system. The user may perform one or more gestures to program the gesture-based control device.
