Light management system having networked intelligent luminaire managers that support third-party applications
First Claim
1. A management system for managing a plurality of luminaires, comprising:
- a plurality of networked intelligent luminaire managers, each intelligent luminaire manager being collocated with an associated luminaire and configured to monitor a status of the associated luminaire, and wherein at least a first networked intelligent luminaire manager monitors for third-party transmissions from a third-party radio frequency device and retransmits received third-party transmissions; and
a network server for receiving transmissions from the plurality of networked intelligent luminaire managers and for communicating information about received third-party transmissions to a computer.

Abstract
A light management system having networked intelligent luminaire managers. A plurality of networked luminaire managers, each collocated with a respective luminaire, monitor the status of their respective luminaires. The luminaire managers include transmitters for transmitting status information about their respective luminaires and third-party devices to a network server. The network server forwards the received status information from the networked luminaire managers to a computer of an owner/operator of the plurality of luminaires and/or a third-party user. The luminaire managers communicate with each other, whereby they form a network.

13. A communications system, comprising:
-
a radio frequency device that transmits information; and
a computer for receiving information transmitted by the radio frequency device, wherein the radio frequency device transmits information to a first intelligent luminaire manager that forms a part of a network of intelligent luminaire managers, each intelligent luminaire manager being coupled to a street light and configured to monitor and control the street light, and wherein the first intelligent luminaire manager transmits the information via the network of intelligent luminaire managers to a server, and the server transmits the information to the computer for receiving information transmitted by the radio frequency device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
