System and method for light socket adaptation
First Claim
1. A lighting adapter module, comprising:
- a first connection to a source of power;
a second connection to provide power to a lighting source;
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 lighting adapter module to detect Bluetooth LE enabled devices within a detection proximity of the lighting adapter module;
wherein a detected Bluetooth LE enabled device is associated with a particular user identity, the particular user identity associated with a set of user preferences; and
power supply control circuitry controllable by the processor, wherein the power supply control circuitry controls power supplied to the lighting source;
wherein the processor, in response to detection of the Bluetooth LE enabled device and determination of the particular user identity, automatically processes instructions to modify the power supplied to the lighting source based on the set of user preferences.
