SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LIGHT SOCKET ADAPTATION
First Claim
1. A light socket adapter module, comprising:
- a female end designed to accept a light bulb;
a male end designed to be placed in an existing light socket;
Wi-Fi transmit/receive circuitry;
Bluetooth LE transmit/receive circuitry;
a processor that processes instructions received via one or more of the Wi-Fi transmit/receive circuitry and the Bluetooth LE transmit/receive circuitry, wherein the instructions are received from one or more of a remote server system and a mobile computing device;
wherein the processor executes Bluetooth LE instructions to cause the light socket adapter module to detect Bluetooth LE enabled devices within a detection proximity of the light socket adapter module; and
power supply control circuitry controllable by the processor, wherein the power supply control circuitry controls power supplied to a light bulb positioned in the female end of the light socket adapter module.
