A light fixture can be electrically connected to a module that can add certain functionality and/or alter the way the light fixture is controlled. A module base includes a module receiver configured to receive one of a plurality of modules. At least the module base is connected to input power. When a first module is coupled to the module base, the combination of the light fixture and module has a first range of functionality dictated at least in part by the functionality of the first module. When the first module is removed and replaced with a second module, the combination of the light fixture and the module has a second range of functionality dictated at least in part by the functionality of the second module.

Luminaire system facilitating modular enhancement

An environmental control is configured to control lighting and/or other environmental parameters of an indoor space so that such parameters simulate measured outdoor environmental parameters. One or more sensors, such as a lighting sensor, can be mounted outdoor. Parameters measured by the sensor are communicated to a controller, which in turn controls one or more luminaires in the indoor space to simulate the actual outdoor light. In some instances the controller is configured to modulate the simulation to conform to user-defined preferences.

Environmental control system and method for simulating circadian rhythms

Methods and systems are provided for pairing electronic devices. One method includes generating a code sequence for pairing an electronic device with an application executed by a processor of a controller, the controller being remote to the electronic device, and the electronic device and the controller interfacing with a server via a network connection. The code sequence includes a configuration mode portion indicating a role for a user of the controller, an invitation sequence having invitation code for the user and a random code portion. The method further includes receiving the code sequence by the electronic device; validating the code sequence by the electronic device using a key data structure; and pairing the electronic device to the controller for enabling the application to monitor and command the electronic device.

Secured tethering process between devices

A security system for use with a wireless access point that is configured to transmit a first wireless signal within a predetermined transmission range includes an outdoor lighting fixture including a master wireless transceiver configured and located to receive the first wireless signal from the wireless access point and to re-transmit the first wireless signal beyond the predetermined transmission range; and a first peripheral device located and configured to receive the first wireless signal re-transmitted from the master wireless transceiver, and to transmit a second wireless signal to at least one of (a) the wireless access point via the master wireless transceiver, and (b) a second peripheral device.

Wireless layered security system

An electronic door lock system that saves power by putting some electronic devices, such as transceivers, in sleep mode and by executing instructions only in response to ambient trigger scenarios. Instructions sent to an electronic door lock from a remote device could be stored on a server before being downloaded to the electronic door lock system once the transceiver is awakened from sleep mode.

Power-saving door lock systems and methods

A light fixture is configured to receive a module that can add certain functionality to the light fixture and/or alter the way the light fixture is controlled. The light fixture includes a module receiver configured to receive one of a plurality of modules. When a first module is coupled to the light fixture, the light fixture has a first range of functionality dictated at least in part by the functionality of the first module. When the first module is removed and replaced with a second module, the light fixture has a second range of functionality dictated at least in part by the functionality of the second module.

A lockset () is actuable by pivoting a lever () about a longitudinal axis of the lockset () by rotating the lever () and by pushing or pulling on the lever (). An actuator linked to the lever extends into a retractor assembly () of the lockset and is configured to actuate a retractor () to retract a latch bolt () in order to enable a corresponding door () to be opened. The latch bolt () has a blocking surface () that is configured to engage an edge of a door strike plate () in order to prevent the door () from opening. The blocking surface () is inclined relative to an axis of the latch bolt ().

A handle set () comprises an elongated handle () that is attached to a corresponding door () at two spaced apart locations. A knob () is disposed on the door () opposite the handle (). A retractor assembly () is interposed between the handle () and the knob (). A handle spindle () extends from the handle (), and a knob spindle () extends from the knob (). The handle and knob spindle overlap one another, and are configured to move axially with one another. However, the knob spindle () can be rotated relative to the handle spindle (). The spindles are configured to interact with the retractor assembly () so that pushing the handle () or pulling the knob () actuates the retractor to withdraw the latch bolt (), or rotating the knob () actuates the retractor to withdraw the latch bolt ().

Handle set having latch bolt actuable by pushing handle

A lockset () is actuable by pivoting a lever () about a longitudinal axis of the lockset () by rotating the lever () and by pivoting the lever () about an axis transverse to the lockset axis, such as by pushing or pulling. The lockset () includes an inside lever () and an outside lever (), each associated with an independent mechanism, each of which can independently actuate the lockset (). A keyed locking cylinder () is disposed axially in the outside lever () and pivots with the outside lever (). The keyed lock cylinder () has an opening that pivotably engages an actuator (). The actuator () extends into a retractor assembly () of the lockset () and is configured to perform an unlocking or locking function when actuated.

Keyed lockset operable by pivoting actuator about a first axis or a second axis

A luminaire including a light source mounted on a base having a plug-in style connector attached to the internal wires of the luminaire for supplying AC power to the light source. The connector is adapted to mate with a plug-in style connector connected to wires of a J-box. The luminaire may include a second connector for connecting to a conditional actuation device. If the conditional actuation device is not used, a continuous actuation device may be connected to the luminaire. A method of installing a luminaire includes connecting an electrical connector to the wires for connection to a J-box, connecting the luminaire connector to the electrical connector, and mounting the luminaire onto the J-box. A method of selling includes providing a choice from among different style luminaires, providing a choice from among different actuation devices to connect with the selected luminaire, and optionally selling the selected luminaire and actuation device. Methods of replacing and repairing an actuation device are also disclosed.
