In one embodiment, a wireless lighting application (app) is executed on a mobile device to configure a wireless lighting control system including a plurality of wireless lighting control devices. A connection is established between the mobile device and a wireless lighting control device. In response to user input in a graphical user interface (GUI) of the wireless lighting app, the wireless lighting app configures at least one of a lighting controller, keypads or lamp modules by at least associating an attached lighting load with a load name. Further, the wireless lighting app defines a lighting scene that uses the lighting load having the load name. Still further, the wireless lighting app assigns the lighting scene to a programmable button of one of the wireless lighting control devices such that, in response to a press of the programmable button, the wireless lighting control system produces the predefined lighting effect.

Standalone wireless lighting application

An automation system includes a lighting controller having a WiFi interface through which wireless communication may be established with one or more mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and the like. Using a mobile device, an installer may rapidly and reliably configure the lighting controller including creating or modifying bindings and settings for keypads which are associated with the lighting controller. The lighting controller includes a dynamic snubber circuit which automatically adjusts itself to operate with different types of loads.

Lighting controller

A network and associated methods and apparatus are described. The network includes a wireless access node which is operable to receive first packets from a plurality of wireless computing devices attempting to access the network. Each of the first packets corresponds to one of a plurality of traffic types. At least one of the traffic types corresponds to an encrypted wireless protocol. The wireless access node is configured to associate one of a plurality of identifiers with each of the first packets. Each of the plurality of identifiers corresponds to one of the plurality of traffic types. The wireless access node is further configured to transmit all first packets received from the wireless computing devices to a gateway on the network regardless of destination addresses associated with the first packets. The gateway is operable to determine that a particular one of the first packets from a first one of the wireless computing devices is directed to a second computing device on the network. The gateway is further operable to prevent the particular first packet from reaching the second computing device in response to determining that the particular first packet is directed to the second computing device.

Security for mobile devices in a wireless network

Techniques are described for detecting use of a network access node by multiple users to gain access to a network. Packets are received from a network device in communication with the network access node. The packets are evaluated with reference to a plurality of metrics. Each of the metrics is independently representative of an estimated number of user devices from which the packets originate.
