Controlling networked lighting devices
First Claim
1. A controller for controlling a lighting device via a network, the controller comprising:
- a receiver arranged for receiving a first sequence of light settings distributed over a first plurality of points in time, which first sequence defines a dynamic light effect,a processor arranged for converting the first sequence of light settings into a second sequence of light settings distributed over a second plurality of points in time, anda transmitter arranged for transmitting light settings to the lighting device,wherein the processor is further arranged for receiving an indication of a network capacity of the network, andwherein the processor is further arranged for converting the first sequence of light settings into the second sequence of light settings based on the indication of the network capacity.

Abstract
A controller 100 for controlling a lighting device 110 via a network 108 is disclosed. The controller 100 comprises a receiver 102 arranged for receiving a first sequence of light settings distributed over a first plurality of points in time, which first sequence defines a dynamic light effect. The controller 100 further comprises a processor 104 arranged for converting the first sequence of light settings into a second sequence of light settings distributed over a second plurality of points in time. The controller 100 further comprises a transmitter 106 arranged for transmitting light settings to the lighting device 110. The processor 104 of the controller 100 is further arranged for receiving an indication of a network capacity of the network 108, and the processor 104 is further arranged for converting the first sequence of light settings into the second sequence of light settings based on the indication of the network capacity.
