Device indication and commissioning for a lighting control system
First Claim
1. A method of configuring a wireless device control system, wherein the wireless device control system includes a server system, a site system, and a plurality of user devices, the method comprising steps of:
- displaying representations of devices of the site system on a user interface of one of the user devices;
actuating a device identification feature on a selected device of the site system;
detecting actuation of a device identification feature by a gateway of the site system, wherein the selected device has a unique device identifier;
communicating an indication of the actuation and the unique device identifier from the gateway to the server system; and
changing a representation corresponding to the selected device on the user interface responsive to receipt of the indication of the actuation and the unique device identifier by the server system.

Abstract
A wireless device control system includes a remote server connected to a wide area network and having control software for configuring, monitoring, and controlling devices at a site. The wireless device control system also includes a wireless gateway located at the site and configured to communicate with the remote server via cellular communication. Control devices are in wireless communication with the wireless gateway via a mesh network, with each of the control devices being wired to control one of the site devices. A computer device is connected to the wide area network and has an interface enabling a user to access the server control software. Control instructions entered on the remote server through the interface are communicated from the remote server to the wireless gateway and then from the wireless gateway to the control devices.
