A system for delivering power and data over a single wire via a hub, wherein the hub can control and power multiple low-power Class 2 circuits. The hub can be controlled remotely through a computing device such as a mobile phone or a computer.

A color temperature control device for an LED lamp is disclosed. The color temperature control device is electrically connected to a lamp and comprises a power supply and a power control circuit. The processor can output a color temperature change processing signal. The power control circuit can control the lamp to change the color temperature in a full-on state according to the full-on state of the lamp and a color temperature change processing signal. The power control circuit can control the lamp to change the color temperature in a dimming state according to the dimming state of the lamp and a color temperature change processing signal. Thereby, the color temperature of the lamp can be changed in the full-on state of the lamp or in the dimming state of the lamp, thereby increasing the convenience of use.

A smart lamp system and method for monitoring a status of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The system can provide LED status monitoring using a logic controller communicating with at least one strip of LEDs. The system can utilize the logic controller to assign a unique identifier (ID) to the at least one strip of LEDs based on a physical position of a plurality of dual-inline package (DIP) switches incorporated within a smart lamp housing. The system can provide a hardware architecture to interface the logic controller with a power-line communication (PLC) transceiver. The system can establish a communication protocol between the PLC transceiver and a PLC receiver to efficiently communicate the statuses of the LEDs. The logic controller can generate a payload including a binary representation of the unique ID of the smart lamp and the statuses of the LEDs and transmit the payload to the PLC transceiver.
