1. A system for spatially commissioning a lighting system, the system for spatially commissioning comprising:

  • a plurality of emitter devices configured to emit a light signal;

    a plurality of sensors configured to detect the light signal, wherein at least one of the sensors and/or at least one of the emitter devices is configured to provide a direction of the light signal detected by at least one of the sensors; and

    an auto-commissioning module configured to;

    determine which of the sensors receive the light signal from any of the emitter devices;

    receive the direction of the light signal detected by the at least one of the sensors, the direction of the light signal provided by the at least one of the sensors and/or the at least one of the emitter devices;

    generate a sensor graph based on the direction of the light signal that is detected by the sensors, wherein nodes of the sensor graph represent the sensors and/or the emitter devices; and

    map at least one of the sensors and/or the emitter devices to a corresponding location in a site model based on the sensor graph and on the site model, wherein locations of the sensors and/or the emitter devices are indicated by the site model.
