Abstract
Techniques are described for a lighting system in which light sources are controllable using signals sent over a wireless mesh network. During a commissioning process, a user interface (UI) may present a representation of nodes (e.g., light sources, sensors, controllers, etc.) that are broadcasting a wireless advertising signal. In response to a selection of a particular node, a wireless message may be sent to instruct the selected node to provide a visual indication of its presence, such as a flashing light. The visual indication may enable a user to discern the physical location of the node, such that each node may be added to the mesh network and, in some instances, to a group of nodes. The UI may also enable the definition of scenes, where each scene describes the brightness level or other operating characteristics of particular light source(s) and/or group(s) of light sources when the scene is active.

21. A computer-implemented method performed by at least one processor, the method comprising:
-
presenting, by the at least one processor, in a user interface (UI), a representation of one or more light sources disconnected from a wireless network, the representation based on receiving a respective wireless advertising signal from each of the one or more light sources; in response to an identification in the UI of a light source of the one or more light sources, sending, by the at least one processor, a wireless signal to cause the light source to visibly indicate its presence, wherein the representation of the light source in the UI is altered while the light source is visibly indicating its presence; receiving, by the at least one processor, through the UI, a designation of the light source for subsequent control through the wireless network and, in response, causing the light source to be added to the wireless network; and providing, by the at least one processor, information that describes the designation of the light source. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes; presenting, by the one or more processors, in a user interface (UI), a representation of one or more light sources disconnected from a wireless network, the representation based on receiving a respective wireless advertising signal from each of the one or more light sources; in response to an identification in the UI of a light source of the one or more light sources, sending, by the one or more processors, a wireless signal to cause the light source to visibly indicate its presence, wherein the representation of the light source in the UI is altered while the light source is visibly indicating its presence; receiving, by the one or more processors, through the UI, a designation of the light source for subsequent control through the wireless network and, in response, causing the light source to be added to the wireless network; and providing, by the one or more processors, information that describes the designation of the light source. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes:
-
presenting, by the one or more processors, in a user interface (UI), a representation of one or more light sources disconnected from a wireless network, the representation based on receiving a respective wireless advertising signal from each of the one or more light sources; in response to an identification in the UI of a light source of the one or more light sources, sending, by the one or more processors, a wireless signal to cause the light source to visibly indicate its presence, wherein the representation of the light source in the UI is altered while the light source is visibly indicating its presence; receiving, by the one or more processors, through the UI, a designation of the light source for subsequent control through the wireless network and, in response, causing the light source to be added to the wireless network; and providing, by the one or more processors, information that describes the designation of the light source. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
