1. A lighting system comprising:
- a lighting array including;
a plurality of luminaires;
a corresponding plurality of sensors; and
a controller configured to operate in at least one from the group including (i) pre commissioning mode and (ii) a commissioning mode;
wherein the pre-commissioning mode matches one of the luminaires with a corresponding one of the sensors based on a location of one of the luminaires and the corresponding sensor, the pre-commissioning creating luminaire-sensor pairs;
wherein the commissioning mode includes a pre-determined commissioning path comprising a layout of luminaire locations; and
wherein the controller, via the commissioning mode, (i) receives data when one of the plurality of sensors detects light, (ii) searches a list of stored addresses corresponding to the plurality of sensors, and (iii) identifies the luminaire-sensor pair locations along the commissioning path.

Abstract
A lighting system according to various embodiments includes a lighting array having a plurality of luminaires and a plurality of sensors. The lighting system also includes a controller configured to operate in at least one from the group including (i) pre commissioning mode and (ii) a commissioning mode. The pre-commissioning mode matches one of the luminaires with a corresponding one of the sensors to create luminaire-sensor pairs and the commissioning mode determines a location of each of the luminaire-sensor pairs.
