LIGHTING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A lighting system comprising:
- a lighting device;
a switch configured to control the lighting device; and
a controller configured to assign an address to the lighting device and the switch, the controller connected to the lighting device and the switch over a ZigBee network,wherein the lighting device and the switch have a first address and a first network identifier,the lighting device or the switch transmits a request for address assignment to the controller based on the first address, the request including the first network identifier, andthe controller compares the first network identifier to a second network identifier stored at the controller, and assigns a second address based on the request if the first network identifier is the same as the second network identifier.

Abstract
A lighting system as disclosed herein may include a lighting device, a switch to control the lighting device, and a controller to assign an address to the lighting device and the switch. The controller may be connected to the lighting device and the switch over a ZigBee network. The lighting device and the switch may have a first address and a first network identifier. The lighting device or the switch transmits a request for address assignment to the controller based on the first address, the request including the first network identifier, and the controller compares the first network identifier to a second network identifier stored at the controller, and may assign a second address based on the request if the first network identifier is the same as the second network identifier.

19. A lighting system comprising:
-
a lighting device; a switch configured to control the lighting device; a first controller configured to assign an address to the lighting device and the switch; a gateway configured to relay messages between the controller and the lighting device or switch; and a second controller to control the lighting device and the switch based on a ZigBee standard, wherein the lighting device and the switch includes a first address, first channel information, a first personal area network identifier (PAN_ID), and a first Extended Personal Area Network Identifier (EXT_PAN_ID) and the controller includes a second EXT_PAN_ID, and wherein the lighting device or the switch transmits a request for address assignment to the controller based on the first address, the request including the first channel information, the first PAN_ID, and the first EXT_PAN_ID, and in response to the request, the controller compares the first EXT_PAN_ID to the second EXT_PAN_ID, and assigns a second address to the lighting device or switch based on at least one of the first channel information, the first PAN_ID and the first EXT_PAN_ID if the first EXT_PAN_ID is the same as the second EXT_PAN_ID. - View Dependent Claims (20)
