CONFIGURATION OF A LUMINAIRE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of configuring a luminaire system comprising at least one lighting device and an apparatus, said lighting device comprising at least one actuator, said apparatus comprising a light sensor and a user interface, said method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by said light sensor, light from said at least one lighting device, said light comprising lighting data;
identifying, by said apparatus, said at least one lighting device based on said lighting data;
determining, by said apparatus, lighting settings for said at least one identified lighting device;
receiving and presenting, by said user interface, information pertaining to said determined lighting settings; and
receiving, by said at least one actuator, manual adjustment of said at least one identified lighting device based on said presented information.

Abstract
There is provided a method for advanced configuration and initialization of a luminaire system. The luminaire system comprises one or more lighting devices (102), an apparatus (104) and a user interface (106). The apparatus comprises a light sensor. One or more of the lighting devices are not connected to a central controller by means of a wired/wireless connection. Therefore, techniques and procedures to use manual interaction 5 by an operator (114) to control these lighting devices are proposed. The proposed techniques enable backward compatible and low-cost implementations of advanced luminaire initialization and configuration. Moreover, this invention proposes to combine the user input, sensing and control functionality into one device, thereby reducing the total cost of implementation and ownership of the proposed system. A corresponding system and 10 apparatus are also presented.
