Systems, methods, and modes for generating a custom dimming curve to more accurately controlling lighting loads, comprising at least one controller adapted: drive a lighting load by incrementally increasing light output levels from an initial minimum light output level to an initial maximum light output level; during each light output level increment, receive a light level reading from a light sensor; determine at which light output level increment the lighting load has turned on and set that determined light output level as a determined minimum light output level; determine at which light output level increment the lighting load has stopped increasing in intensity and set that determined light output level as a determined maximum light output level; and determine a custom dimming curve comprising the determined minimum light output level and determined maximum light output level in relation to a minimum dimming input level and a maximum dimming input level.

Systems, methods, and modes for controlling one or more roller shades in order to substantially synchronize and uniformly align a plurality of roller shades. Each shade comprises a roller tube, a shade material connected to the roller tube, a motor adapted to rotate the roller tube, and a controller. The controller is adapted to: drive the motor between a first limit position and a second limit position of the shade material at a first rotational speed; determine a run time it took the motor to move the shade material between the first limit position and the second limit position; using at least the determined run time, determine a second rotational speed for the controller to drive the motor between the first limit position and the second limit position within a predetermined run time; and set the motor to operate according to the second rotational speed.

An apparatus, system, and method for an automatic dimming and color adjusting backlight LEDs of wall mounted control device buttons. The control device comprises a light sensor that detects light levels in a room where the control device is installed. The control device comprises a controller that operates the backlight LEDs according to day color setting when it receive a light level reading from the light sensor that is above a day/night threshold and according to a night color setting when it receives a light level reading from the light sensor that is below the day/night threshold. In addition, the controller dims the backlight LEDs based on the detected light level readings according an indication mode dimming curve when the backlight LEDs are in an indication mode and according to a backlight mode dimming curve when the backlight LEDs are in a backlight mode.

Systems, methods, and modes for commissioning of a building control system comprising at least one controller and a plurality of electronic devices installed in a building and comprising at least one light source adapted to illuminate light of a plurality of colors. The at least one controller is adapted to iteratively divide a selected number of the plurality of electronic devices into groups of electronic devices and command each group of electronic devices to illuminate a different color, receive an identification of an illuminated color of an electronic device to be commissioned, and select electronic devices belonging to a group commanded to illuminate a color that matches the identified illuminated color until the electronic device to be commissioned is identified.

A control device comprising a front portion, at least one button cap, and a controller. The front portion comprises a plurality of button zones each comprising a tactile switch and at least one touch sensor. The at least one button cap is adapted to attach to the control device over at least one of the button zones such that the at least one button cap is positioned over the at least one touch sensor and interacts with the tactile switch in the at least one of the button zones. The controller determines which button zone and which location of the button zone is actuated in response to a combination of signals received from at least one of the tactile switches and at least one of the touch sensors.

A motorized shade for covering an architectural opening comprising a roller tube and a shade material comprising an upper end attached to the roller tube and a lower end. The shade material at least partially comprises electrically conductive material and the roller tube comprises an electrically conductive material that creates an electrically conductive path between the conductive material of the shade material and the roller tube. The motorized shade further comprises a capacitive touch sensor electrically connected to the roller tube via at least one electrical contact, and a controller electrically connected to the capacitive touch sensor and adapted to detect a touch of the shade material via the capacitive touch sensor and in response generate a command.
