Abstract: A lighting control device that controls lighting fixtures includes: a command generator that generates one or more commands for controlling the lighting fixtures; a signal transceiver that communicates with the lighting fixtures; and a communication protocol setter that sets which one of two or more types of communication protocols is to be used. The two or more types of communication protocols include a first communication protocol. The signal transceiver simultaneously transmits, using the first communication protocol, a first command to each of the lighting fixtures. The first command is included in the one or more commands and requests a response. The communication protocol setter sets the first communication protocol as the communication protocol to be used for one or more of the lighting fixtures that have responded to the first command.
