A system () for controlling a lighting system () is configured to receive user input representing a request to activate a query mode and transmit a command to the lighting system. The command instructs the lighting system to temporarily disable control of a lighting device (-) by a light control device (-). The system is further configured to receive control information from the lighting system. The control information describes a user interaction with the light control device and/or describes a function corresponding to the user interaction. The system is also configured to render audio and/or visual information describing the function corresponding to the user interaction to the user, e.g. on a display (), and transmit a further command to the lighting system. The further command instructs the lighting system to enable control of the lighting device by the light control device.

Disable control of a lighting device by a light control device in a query mode

A lighting unit () is disclosed. The lighting unit comprises: one or more light sources (), a memory (), a communication unit () comprising a first communication module (104) configured to communicate via a first wireless communication technology, and a second communication module (104) configured to communicate via a second wireless communication technology, and a processor () configured to receive, via the first communication module (104), a first lighting control command (), store the first lighting control command () in the memory (), receive, via the second communication module (104), a second lighting control command (), and control the one or more light sources () according to the first lighting control command () upon receiving the second lighting control command.

Lighting unit for executing multiple lighting control commands and a method thereof

A method () of controlling a lighting unit () of a lighting system () is disclosed. The lighting system () comprises the lighting unit () and a lighting control device () comprising a user input element () for receiving a continuous user input for changing an intensity of the light output of the lighting unit (). The method () comprises receiving () a signal indicative of the continuous user input, obtaining () one or more parameters, the one or more of parameters comprising at least a current light setting of the lighting unit (), the current light setting having an intensity level between a predefined maximum intensity level and a predefined minimum intensity level, and controlling the intensity of the light output of the lighting unit () over time while the continuous user input is being provided, wherein the intensity of the light output is either increased or decreased based on the one or more parameters.

Controller for controlling a lighting unit of a lighting system and a method thereof

A method and a lighting controller for controlling a light source are disclosed. The lighting controller comprises: an input configured to receive signals indicative of user inputs, a processor configured to determine a current time, select a light setting from a predefined sequence of light settings when a first signal indicative of a first user input has been received, wherein the selection of the light setting is based on the current time, control the light source according to the selected light setting, and select a subsequent light setting from the predefined sequence of light settings when a subsequent signal indicative of a subsequent user input has been received, wherein the subsequent light setting is a light setting subsequent to the light setting, and control the light source according to the subsequent light setting.
