The lighting system comprises a lighting control device, the lighting control device comprising a user input element, wherein the user input element comprises an icon indicative of a control function of the lighting system. The method comprises: obtaining an image comprising the lighting control device, analyzing the image, identifying the user input element in the image, identifying the icon that has been applied to the user input element, determining the control function of the identified icon, and configuring the lighting system by associating the control function with the user input element, such that when the user input element is activated by a user, one or more lighting units of the lighting system are controlled in accordance with the control function.

Provided is a light system, a light element, and a mounting pad of a light. The light system includes a light element and a mounting pad. The light element includes a light-emitting unit to emit light; an attachment unit to attach the light element to any position on a mounting surface on which the light element is mounted; a wireless electric-power receiving unit to receive electric power for driving the light element by wireless electric-power transmission; and a light-emitting unit power supply circuit, connected to the wireless electric-power receiving unit to transmit the electric power received by the wireless electric-power receiving unit to the light-emitting unit. The mounting pad includes a mounting area having the mounting surface on which the light element is mounted and a wireless electric-power transmitting unit to transmit the electric power to the wireless electric-power receiving unit on the mounting surface by wireless electric-power transmission.

A method includes receiving, via. a. user interface of a computing device, input indicating target illuminances that correspond to surfaces of an object, determining, via the computing device, power levels for compensatory light sources based on the target illuminances and positions and orientations of the surfaces with respect to the compensatory light sources, and causing, via. the computing device, the compensatory light sources to operate according to the power levels.

A device is configured to operate in a first mode of operation during which the device is configured to receive a first supply voltage in a contactless manner. The device includes a light emitting element and a first circuit. The first circuit is configured to receive a second supply voltage generated from the first supply voltage. A first current is generated from the first supply voltage, independent from the second voltage, and applied to the light emitting element which is selectively turned on.

Systems, devices, and methods are described herein to prevent or reverse inadvertent adjustment of a function of a medical light while the medical light is being repositioned by a user using the handle assembly. The medical light may include at least one movement sensor and a controller that determines the medical light is being repositioned based on movement detected by the movement sensor. In response to determining that the medical light is being repositioned, the controller may disable adjustment of at least one function of the medical light by at least one user input interface of the handle assembly. The controller may enable adjustment of a setting of at least one function while the medical light is being repositioned, but reset the function after the medical light is no longer being repositioned to the setting it was operating at prior to the medical light being repositioned.

The invention provides a control device for controlling an ultraviolet light-based disinfection device arranged at a disinfection location, wherein the control device comprises: a user interface comprising a user interface element, wherein the user interface element is configured to control an operational parameter of the ultraviolet light-based disinfection device by providing a degree of control in controlling said operational parameter; a controller configured to: (i) determine a spatial relation of the control device relative to the ultraviolet light-based disinfection device and/or the disinfection location, and to (ii) change the degree of control of the user interface element in controlling said operational parameter based on said spatial relation.

Techniques are disclosed for identifying and controlling light-based communication (LCom)-enabled luminaires. In some cases, the techniques include a luminaire communicating its ID to a computing device via one or more LCom signals. In some cases, a user may be able to aim a rear-facing camera of a smartphone at the luminaire desired to be controlled. Once the luminaire is in the field of view of the camera, the ID of the luminaire can be determined using one or more LCom signals received from the luminaire. The ID of the luminaire may be, for example, its internet protocol (IP) address or media access control (MAC) address or another unique identifier. Once a luminaire has been identified, commands can be issued to the luminaire to adjust one or more characteristics of the light output, such as changing the dimming percentage of the light output.

A wireless light switch includes an explosion-proof enclosure comprising a raised keypad and a controller enclosed by the explosion-proof enclosure and electrically coupled to the raised keypad. The controller is configured to receive a password via the raised keypad, authenticate the password, upon the password being authenticated, connect to a mesh network comprising a plurality of light devices, and after connecting to the mesh network, send a control message to a first light device of the mesh network. In some cases, the control message directs the plurality of light devices to perform a new action that is different from a current action set by a light schedule for the plurality of light devices. In some cases, the mesh network is a secure Bluetooth? mesh network and the controller is further configured to convert Bluetooth? mesh data into Wi-Fi?/ZigBee? data and send the Wi-Fi?/ZigBee? data to a distributed control system wirelessly.

In one embodiment, one or more non-transitory, tangible, machine-readable media includes instructions to send one or more requests to retrieve, access, view, subscribe, or modify data in a data model representative of one or more smart environments. The data model includes a metadata object that includes an access token used to identify which user the data is associated with in the data model, a devices object that includes information related to one or more electronic devices, and a structures object that includes one or more references to the one or more electronic devices in the one or more smart environments.
