LIGHTING AND CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A method of configuring a lighting system comprising:
- driving light emitters of different colors to produce an illumination experience, the light emitters in a lighting node;
detecting a color composition from the light emitters via a remote optical sensor on a remote control device;
comparing the color composition with a color profile stored on a memory of the remote control device; and
adjusting at least one of the light emitters until the detected color composition substantially matches the color profile.

Abstract
Lighting and control systems and methods for a lighting node and a remote control device are disclosed. The remote control device may be coupled to the lighting node via an identification process, such as broadcasting an identification request from the remote control device to nearby lighting nodes. The lighting node can respond to the identification request by sending an identifier to the remote control device such that future commands sent from the remote control device is limited to be responded by the lighting node having the identifier stored thereon. Once coupled, the remote control device can adjust spectral content produced by the lighting node based on user-configuration or a color profile captured via an optical sensor. The adjustment via the remote control device may further include calibration and recalibration of the lighting node utilizing a feedback mechanism with the optical sensor.

12. A method of coupling a remote control device to a lighting node comprising:
-
sending an identification command from the remote control device to light nodes unidentified by the remote control device; in response to the identification command, transmitting a node identifier from a first lighting node to the remote control device; receiving the node identifier at the remote control device; coupling the remote control device to the lighting node; and broadcasting an adjustment command, from the remote control device, indicating the lighting node as an intended recipient of the adjustment command via specification of the node identifier in the adjustment command, such that a second lighting node within range to receive the adjustment command does respond to the adjustment command. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A lighting system comprising:
-
a first lighting node including; a first set of light emitters with different color sets, a first memory having a group identifier stored thereon, and a first radio device configured for radio communication with a remote control device upon verification via the group identifier; and a second lighting node including; a second set of light emitters with different color sets, a second memory having the group identifier stored thereon, and a second radio device configured for radio communication with the remote control device upon verification via the group identifier; wherein the first lighting node and the second lighting node are configured to communicate with each other and with the remote control device via the first radio device and the second radio device; and wherein the first lighting node is configured to forward a lighting adjustment command from the remote control device to the second lighting node. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)

27. A method comprising:
-
generating an illumination with a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) at a lamp, wherein the illumination is user-controlled to provide a configurable lighting experience, and further wherein a spectral content of the illumination is communicated by the illumination to a sensor; sensing by the sensor the spectral content of the illumination; storing in a memory a color profile to be targeted by the illumination generated by the LEDs; transmitting a command to the lamp to adjust an output of the LEDs to target the color profile with the generated illumination; and receiving the command at the lamp; adjusting the output of the LEDs to target the color profile with the generated illumination; wherein the sensor and memory are physically separate from the LEDs.
