1. A system for control of a group of lamps, comprising:
- a network of nodes interconnected in a topology to form a mesh network, in which each lamp is connected to a node in the network of nodes, and in which each node of the network of nodes comprises;
a receiver permitting reception of an instruction;
an instructor permitting transfer of an instruction to a lamp connected to the node; and
a transmitter permitting transmission of the instruction to an adjacent node to allow said adjacent node to perform an action with the lamp connected to the adjacent node;
a coordinator permitting transmission of an instruction and reception of said instruction by all of the nodes of the network; and
wherein at least one node is provided with a sensor permitting sensing of information relating to an environment in which the sensor-provided node is located to cause the lamp connected to the sensor-provided node to react to the information relating to the environment in which the sensor-provided node is situated and wherein the sensor recovers data relating to direct influence of the environment on the lamps.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for controlling a group of devices, comprising: —a network of nodes interconnected in a topology to form a meshed network, and —a coordinator making it possible to communicate with the nodes in the network, in which each device is connected to a node in the network, in which each node comprises: —a receiver making it possible to receive an instruction, —an instructor making it possible to transfer an instruction to the device connected to the node, and —a transmitter making it possible to transmit the instruction to a neighboring node.

13. A method for transmitting instructions to a group of lamps, said method comprising:
-
connecting each lamp of the group of lamps to a node; interconnecting the nodes using a topology to create a mesh network; sensing, by at least one node, of information relating to an environment in which the node is located, to cause a lamp connected to the node to react to the information relating to the environment in which the node is situated; recovering, by the at least one node, data relating to direct influence of the environment on the lamp; transmitting at least one instruction to a first node; transmitting said at least one instruction from this first node to the lamp connected to this first node to allow the lamp to perform an action which corresponds to this instruction; and transmitting said instruction from this first node to an adjacent node in order to perform an action with the lamp connected to this adjacent node. - View Dependent Claims (15)
