    摘要: A method of controlling a first lighting unit of a group of lighting units is disclosed. The method comprised receiving a first signal communicated between a portable device and the first lighting unit, determining a first signal strength of the received first signal, setting, if the first signal strength exceeds a threshold, the portable device to a first control mode wherein only the first lighting unit of the group of lighting units is controlled by the portable device, and setting, if the first signal strength does not exceed the threshold, the portable device to a second control mode wherein the lighting units of the group are controlled by the portable device.

    摘要: To improve the efficiency and reliability of communication in a large and high-density wireless network 100, it is beneficial to assign a subset of the plurality of nodes 500 being router nodes 200, and the rest of the nodes being non-router nodes 300. Thus, the dense wireless network 100 splits into a sparse core mesh network and many small star networks around each router node 200. However, to commission the plurality of nodes into such a hybrid topology can be quite complex and time-consuming. This invention discloses a commissioning method that makes use of one or more neighboring relationship established among the plurality of nodes to derive a proper role for an individual node, and then to configure the individual node to operate according to the role assigned. The disclosed commissioning method may be carried out semi-automatically or automatically.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for controlling commissioning of a network device (22) in a multi-hop network, e.g., ZigBee network, (200) of a multi-hop technology, wherein the network device (22) is a combo network device with a single-hop communication unit of a single-hop technology, e.g., Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), for establishing a point-to-point connection and a multi-hop communication unit of the multi-hop technology for communicating with other network devices (20) of the multi-hop network in the multi-hop network (200). The single-hop connection of the network device (22) for commissioning allows seamless transfer from controlling the network device (22) via the single-hop network to controlling the network device (22) via the multi-hop network via a bridge device (25), without running the risk of unnecessarily looking for open networks, having to look up and enter an access key or bringing the network device (22) close to the bridge device (25), and whilst maintaining a secure setup.
