Dimming gateway auto discovery system
First Claim
1. A system for discovering at least one dimming control protocol installed in a plurality of lighting devices and for controlling a plurality of dimming levels of the plurality of lighting devices, the system comprising:
- at least one protocol agnostic Universal Smart Lighting Gateway, the Universal Smart Lighting Gateway configured for discovering the at least one dimming control protocol installed in each of the plurality of lighting devices and controlling the dimming levels of each of the plurality of lighting devices;
a plurality of luminaires, wherein the plurality of luminaires is physically connected to the at least one protocol agnostic Universal Smart Lighting Gateway via at least one dimming control interface;
at least one sensor subsystem, wherein the sensor subsystem senses a plurality of color channel and monitors at least one change in light and environment in real time, and wherein the sensor subsystem is connected with the at least one of the protocol agnostic Universal Smart Lighting Gateway; and
at least one power meter for measuring power in real time, wherein the at least one power meter is connected with the at least one of the protocol agnostic Universal Smart Lighting Gateway.

Abstract
A system and method for discovering at least one dimming control protocol installed in a plurality of lighting devices and for controlling a plurality of dimming levels of the plurality of lighting devices are disclosed. The system may include at least one gateway that connects to at least one plurality of luminaires and/or LED'"'"'s, at least one sensor subsystem and at least one power meter. The system and method may exchange information between a plurality of light devices and a self-organized, self-discovering gateway device. The gateway may use one or more known control protocols as an input and is able to handle multiple light devices that support different control protocols. This ability makes the gateway a universal lighting control gateway.
