1. A scalable network of heterogeneous devices, said network comprising:

  • a plurality of outdoor lighting fixture nodes, each of said outdoor lighting fixture nodes controlling at least one light output characteristic of at least one outdoor lighting fixture;

    a plurality of segment controllers, each of said segment controllers transmitting lighting fixture control data to at least one of said outdoor lighting fixture nodes;

    wherein said light output characteristic of said at least one outdoor lighting fixture is based at least in part on said lighting fixture control data;

    at least one gateway in communication with at least two of said segment controllers;

    at least one remote management system in communication with said gateway and in communication with said segment controllers via said gateway;

    wherein said remote management system transmits segment controller data to said segment controllers and at least some of said lighting fixture control data is based at least in part on said segment controller data;

    a plurality of sensors transmitting sensor data to at least one of said segment controllers;

    wherein said segment controllers transmit remote system data to said remote management system via said gateway, said remote system data including information indicative of said sensor data;

    wherein said segment controllers locally process at least some of said sensor data and include less than all of said sensor data in said remote system data; and

    wherein said segment controller directly determines at least some of said lighting fixture control data based on said sensor data.
