The present application relates generally to the field of lighting control systems.
Customizing and automating home lighting control devices is often epitomized by the installation of unsightly lighting switches that are inundated with light switches confusingly mapped to respective fixtures. Automated home lighting control systems can also include large, complex, expensive central hubs that require expert or skilled technicians for installation and/or operation. Smart light bulbs and/or Wi-Fi enabled lightbulbs introduced into any of these contexts or even in simpler ones can disadvantageously be limited by the light switch that it is associated with and/or the lighting fixture itself. For example, if a light switch associated with a smart light bulb is switched off the smart light bulb becomes inoperable.
Different light bulb types and models have different properties that determine how they behave to a provided current. The threshold at which a light “pops-on” and the rate at which the light “warms-up” is generally to unique to the specific bulb and depends on factors such as bulb type and bulb manufacturer. Also smart bulbs have their own inherent properties that uniquely drive the bulbs rate of dimming.

The inventors have appreciated that normalizing the behavior of a plurality of bulb types and models provides a synchronous elegant lighting experience.

The light switch actuator 106 includes an outer actuation surface 122, which as discussed further herein may be composed of glass. The actuation surface 122 is movable, for example, by pushing on the curved foot 120 to cause the light switch actuator 106 to pivot, for example. The pivoting of the light switch actuator 106 and the actuation surface 122 causes a contact component (shown in
The lighting control device 100 includes a mounting chassis 142 configured to be installed to an electrical wall box. The mounting chassis 142 creates an even surface for installation of the other modules (e.g., the base module 112 and the switch module 102). Once the base module is connected to the electrical wall box via the mounting chassis 142, the wall plate cover 108 can be coupled to the mounting chassis 142 and the light switch actuator 106 can be inserted through the switch module opening 110.

In
The power circuit 714 can be configured to adjust the signal supplied (input signal), which is related to the power supplied by it, to the lighting circuit 750. For example, the power circuit 714 can comprise a tunable voltage source that can supply an input voltage signal with tunable voltage amplitude to the lighting circuit 750. The input voltage signal can be an AC and/or a DC signal whose amplitude can be tuned by the power circuit 714. In some implementations, the power circuit 714 can comprise a tunable current source that can supply an input current signal with varying current amplitude to the lighting circuit 750. For example, the input current signal can be an alternating (AC) and/or direct (DC) whose amplitude can be varied by the power circuit 714. In some implementation, the power circuit 714 can comprise both tunable voltage source and tunable current source. The power circuit 714 may be configured to supply an input voltage and/or current signal at discrete amplitudes. The power circuit 714 may be configured to increase/decrease the quantity of power supplied to the lighting circuit 750, for example by increasing/decreasing the amplitude of the input voltage and/or current signal.
One or more properties of the input signal can be controlled by the controller 720. The controller 720 and power circuit 714 can interact electronically by wire or wirelessly. The controller 720 can send a control signal to the power circuit 714 that may determine the properties of the input signals (voltage and/or current signals). For example, the control signal may contain data that includes an array of numerical values of amplitudes (and frequencies) of sinusoidal input signals. The power circuit 714 may set the amplitude and frequency of the input signals (voltage and/or current signals) based on the control signal.
The response of the lighting circuit 750 measured by the detector circuit 712 may include one or more of current, voltage and impedance. The response of the lighting circuit 750 may be represented by an analog signal, i.e., a signal that can continuously vary with time. In some implementations, the detector circuit 712 may include a voltage sensing circuit that can detect a voltage signal (e.g., voltage across the lighting circuit 750). In some implementations the detector circuit 712 can include a current sensing circuit that can detect a current signal (e.g., the current flowing into the lighting circuit 750). In some implementations, the detector circuit 712 can include an impedance sensing circuit that detects the impedance of the lighting circuit 750.
The detector circuit 712 and power circuit 714 can interact by wire and/or wirelessly. The power circuit 714 can send a signal to the detector unit 712 based on which the detector circuit starts (or ends) detecting the response of the lighting circuit 750. For example, the power circuit 714 may send a notification signal to the detector circuit 712 that indicates that the power circuit 714 is about to send an input signal (voltage and/or current signal) to the lighting circuit 750. Based on the notification signal, the detection circuit 712 may begin detecting the response of the lighting circuit 450. Additionally or alternately, the power circuit 714 may send a notification signal to the detector circuit 712 that indicates that the detection circuit 712 may end detecting the response of the lighting circuit 750.
The detector circuit 712 and the controller 720 can interact by wire and/or wirelessly. For example, the detector circuit 712 may send detector signal to the controller 720 that contains data that represents information related to the detected response (e.g., voltage, current, impedance etc.) of the lighting circuit 750. As described before, the response of the lighting circuit 750 may be represented by an analog signal. In one implementation, the detector circuit 712 includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that can convert the analog response signal to a digital response signal. Converting the analog response signal to the digital response signal may involve sampling the analog response signal at certain times, for example, sampling periodically at a sampling frequency. For example, the analog response signal can be sampled at greater than 1 KHz (more than 1000 samples per second) or at greater than 10 KHz. The sampled analog signal is rounded off to the nearest available digital value (sometimes referred to as “levels”) of the ADC. The signal resolution of the ADC may depend on the range of analog signal that the ADC can detect (e.g., range of voltage/current values), and the number of available digital values. For example, the resolution of an 8-bit ADC (256 available digital values), having 5.12V (volts) range (e.g., from 0V to 5.12 V), will be 0.02 volts. This 8-bit ADC may convert a sampled analog signal to the nearest 0.02V-multiple value. For example, a 0.175 V sampled analog signal may be converted to a 0.18 V signal. The time resolution of the ADC (e.g., the time resolution of the digital response signal) depends at the sampling frequency, i.e., the frequency at which the ADC samples the analog response signal. The sampling frequency of the ADC can be set to a value that is greater than twice the maximum frequency of the sampled analog signal (sometimes referred to Nyquist frequency).
In some implementations, the controller 720 can adjust the range of analog signals that the ADC in the detection circuit 712 can detect. The controller 720 can, for example, send a “reference” signal to the ADC that can determine the range of the ADC. For example, referring to the 8-bit ADC example discussed before, the controller 720 may send a 2.56 V reference signal to the ADC. As a result, the range of the 8-bit ADC may change to 2.56V (e.g., from 0V to 2.56 V). Changing the range of an ADC may also change the resolution of the ADC. For example, if the range of an 8-bit ADC is changed from 5.12V to 2.56V by the controller 720, the resolution of the 8-bit ADC may change from 0.02V to 0.01V.
The detector signal (from the detector circuit 712 to the controller 720) can include data that represents information about the digital response signal. The detector signal may also include the sampling times corresponding to the digital response signal. The controller 720 can make a determination about one or more properties of the lighting circuit 750 based on the detector signal for one or more input signals. For example, the controller 720 may compare the detected response signals with response data of known circuits in a database. The known circuits may include lighting circuits with different types of light bulbs (e.g., incandescent, fluorescent, LED, halogen, high intensity discharge, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage), with different number of light bulbs, or a combination of both. The database may also include one or more input signal data that may be related the response data. For example, the response data, for a known circuit, may represent the response of the known circuit to an input signal (e.g., time-dependent signal) represented by the input data.
The input signal data of a known circuit in the database may represent information about one or more properties of the input signals (voltage and/or current signals). For example, the input signal data can include information about the amplitude and frequency of a sinusoidal input signal. The response data of the known circuit may contain information about one or more properties of the response (e.g., voltage, current, impedance etc.) signal of the known circuit corresponding to an input signal. For example, the response data may comprise an array of numerical values that represents the amplitude of the response signals (e.g., amplitude of voltage and/or current signals) as a function of time.
As described before, the controller 720 can send a control signal to the power circuit 714 that may determine the properties of the input signals (voltage and/or current signals) supplied by the power circuit 714 to lighting circuit 750. In some implementations, the control signal may include input signal data (e.g., the amplitudes and frequencies of the input signals represented by the input signal data). The power circuit 714 may supply input signals to the lighting circuit 750 based on the received input signal data. The detector circuit 712 may detect the response of the lighting circuit 750 to the aforementioned input signals, and send the detected response signals (e.g., digital response signal from the ADC in the detector circuit 712) to the controller 720. The controller 720 may compare (e.g., by correlation) the detected response signals with the response data. Based on this comparison, the controller 720 may determine one or more properties of the lighting circuit 750.
In one implementation, the power circuit 414 is configured to supply a small current input signal (configured leak electricity) that does not light up the bulbs in the lighting fixtures of the lighting circuit 750. However, the small current input signal may be sufficient to detect a response signal or power draw from the lighting circuit 750. In one implementation, the current input signal can be less than 25 milliamps, less than 15 milliamps, and/or less than 10 milliamps. The power circuit 414 may be configured to increase the power supplied by successive input signals. This can, for example, be achieved by successively increasing the amplitude of the voltage/current input signal
In one implementation, the controller 720 is configured to select a diming profile (e.g., forward phase, reverse phase, non-dimmable) of the bulb (whose type has been determined by the controller 720) in the lighting circuit 750. The dimming profiles of the various light bulb may be stored in the database of the controller 720. Based on the diming profile, the controller may send a control signal to the power circuit 714 to change the power supplied to the lighting circuit based on data in the diming profile. The controller 720 may be configured to determine the wattage rating of the bulb in the lighting circuit 750. The wattage can, for example, be determined by the power consumed by the lighting circuit 750. The power consumed by the lighting circuit 750 may be determined by multiplying the detected digital voltage response with the detected digital current response of the lighting circuit 750. Based on the wattage of the lighting circuit 750, the controller may identify the company that manufactures the bulb in the lighting circuit 750.
The base lighting control module 812 includes a ground terminal 830 for grounding various electrical components container in the module 812. The base light control module 812 includes a neutral terminal 828 for connecting to a neutral wire, a line terminal 826, and a load terminal 822. As shown in

A computer program may, but need not, correspond to a file in a file system. A program can be stored in a portion of a file that holds other programs or data (e.g., one or more scripts stored in a markup language document), in a single file dedicated to the program in question, or in multiple coordinated files (e.g., files that store one or more modules, sub programs, or portions of code).

Generally, a processor will receive instructions and data from a read only memory or a random access memory or both. The essential elements of a computer are a processor for performing actions in accordance with instructions and one or more memory devices for storing instructions and data. Generally, a computer will also include, or be operatively coupled to receive data from or transfer data to, or both, one or more mass storage devices for storing data, e.g., magnetic, magneto optical disks, or optical disks. However, a computer need not have such devices. Moreover, a computer can be embedded in another device, e.g., a mobile telephone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile audio or video player, a game console, a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, or a portable storage device (e.g., a universal serial bus (USB) flash drive), to name just a few. Devices suitable for storing computer program instructions and data include all forms of non-volatile memory, media and memory devices, including by way of example semiconductor memory devices, e.g., EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory devices; magnetic disks, e.g., internal hard disks or removable disks; magneto optical disks; and CD ROM and DVD-ROM disks.

The computing system can include users and servers. A user and server are generally remote from each other and typically interact through a communication network. The relationship of user and server arises by virtue of computer programs running on the respective computers and having a user-server relationship to each other. In some implementations, a server transmits data (e.g., an HTML page) to a user device (e.g., for purposes of displaying data to and receiving user input from a user interacting with the user device). Data generated at the user device (e.g., a result of the user interaction) can be received from the user device at the server.
