Abstract
Radio frequency-enabled lighting-fixture management systems, apparatus, and methods are described. One implementation includes a wireless communication component and a controller that is integrated into the radio frequency-enabled lighting-fixture management unit. The controller is configured to obtain operational values of a luminaire driver or a luminaire. The controller is further configured to provide the obtained operational values to the wireless communication component for transmission.

15. A method for providing an operational status of a light-emitting-diode-based luminaire, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request for an operational status of a luminaire driver or a luminaire; using a controller integrated into the luminaire driver, obtaining one or more operational values of the luminaire driver or luminaire, in response to receipt of the request; comparing the obtained one or more operational values to values corresponding to acceptable ranges for the one or more operational parameters; transmitting the obtained one or more operational values to a wireless communication device if the obtained one or more operational values are within the acceptable ranges; and transmitting an alarm to the wireless communication device if at least one of the obtained operational values is not within the acceptable ranges. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A non-transitory machine-readable medium for providing an operational status of a light-emitting-diode-based luminaire, the machine-readable medium comprising machine instructions for:
-
receiving a request for an operational status of a luminaire driver or a luminaire; using a controller integrated into the luminaire driver, obtaining one or more operational values of the luminaire driver or luminaire, in response to receipt of the request; comparing the obtained one or more operational values to values corresponding to acceptable ranges for the one or more operational parameters; transmitting the obtained one or more operational values to a wireless communication device if the obtained one or more operational values are within the acceptable ranges; and transmitting an alarm to the wireless communication device if at least one of the obtained operational values is not within the acceptable ranges. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
