A stage automation system may include a first and second executing program configured to selectively control a first and second actionable mechanism, respectively. The stage automation system may further include a stage automation server configured to: receive, from the first executing program, a distributed program object announcement including a set of one or more time-stamped variables associated with the first actionable mechanism; transmit a distributed program object announcement to the second executing program; receive one or more data packets from the second executing program; adjust at least one time-stamped variable of the distributed program object based on the one or more received data packets; and transmit one or more data packets to the first executing program to cause the first executing program to adjust the at least one time-stamped variable of the distributed program object associated with the first actionable mechanism.

The invention relates to a touch panel device for a dimmer lighting control system and a method for controlling a light circuit. The device comprises a touch sensitive surface; a light sensor; a motion sensor and a processor operatively connected to the touch sensitive surface, the light sensor, the motion sensor for generating control signal. The processor is configured for modifying the control signal based on a learning from a stored historical data in a secondary device, accepting or rejecting a device operation using a user input.

An exemplary lighting system utilizes intelligent system elements, such as lighting devices, user interfaces for lighting control or the like and possibly sensors, and utilizes network communication amongst such intelligent system elements. Some processing functions performed within the system are implemented on a distributed processing basis, by two or more of the intelligent elements of the lighting system. Distributed processing, for example, may enable use of available processor and/or memory resources of a number of intelligent system elements to process a particular job. Another distributed processing approach might entail programming to configure two or more of the intelligent system elements to implement multiple instances of a server functionality with respect to client functionalities implemented on intelligent system elements.

A method is disclosed for generating a database to be used to set illumination of an adjustable light source. The method comprising: for a plurality of different users: identifying an individual user; setting a specific light profile of the adjustable light source, the specific light profile comprising information pertaining to a spectral content and/or intensity of light by which the individual user is exposed to; while exposing the individual user for the specific light profile, sensing data pertaining to a health condition and/or a behavior of the individual user; determining a data set linking the specific light profile, genomic data pertaining to the individual user, and the data pertaining to the health condition and/or the behavior of the individual user sensed while exposing the individual user to the specific light profile; and storing the linked data set in a database. A light control system is further provided.

A system for controlling a remote electronics system includes a configuration device, a venue device, a user device, and a storage device storing configuration information relating to each piece of equipment included in a list of equipment. The configuration device performs a series of steps, including: accepting from the venue device, at least one piece of venue equipment from the list of equipment; accessing the configuration information relating to the at least one piece of venue equipment; accepting from the user device at least one generalized instruction (agnostic as to which equipment was selected) for a piece of equipment; creating at least one instruction specific from the at least one generalized instruction based on the configuration information; and transmitting the at least one specific instruction to the venue device. The venue device then uses same to control the at least one piece of venue equipment.
