1. An illumination device to illuminate a space and react to and transmit messages, the illumination device comprising:
- an enclosure;
receiving circuitry disposed within the enclosure and configured to receive coded messages by radio signals in free space, electrically conducted signals by wire, and light wave propagated signals in free space;
processing circuitry disposed within the enclosure and configured to process the coded messages; and
transmitting circuitry disposed within the enclosure and configured to perform a first transmission that transmits the coded messages by the radio signals in free space, the electrically conducted signals by wire, and the light wave propagated signals in free space; and
wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to read message bits representing a media counter in one or more of the coded messages when the one or more the coded messages is to be retransmitted with a second transmission.
