There are provided an adapter and a method for use with a luminaire. For example, there is provided an adapter for use with a lighting controller of a luminaire. The adapter includes a calibration and maintenance port connected to a metering circuit disposed in the lighting controller. Furthermore, the adapter includes an interface connected to: the lighting controller, at least one lead of a lighting controller receptacle of the luminaire, and to at least one port of a computing device.

Adapter for a luminaire controller

A networked light control system includes light sensor circuitry that includes plural light sensors configured to sense an ambient light level, a control unit configured to generate a control signal that activates or deactivates one or more lights in a network of lights based on the ambient light level that is sensed by the light sensor circuitry, and relay logic circuitry configured to open or close a relay or a solid state switch for activating or deactivating the one or more lights based on receipt of the control signal generated by the control unit. The relay logic circuitry is configured to control the relay or the solid-state switch responsive to a failure in the control unit.

Networked light control system and method

Provided is a controller for use with a luminaire. The controller that includes a processor connected to at least one lead of a receptacle included in the luminaire. The processor can be programmed to multiplex at least one lead of the receptacle to achieve at least one of a plurality functions.

A method for data compression includes reading first data representing sensor data capture, compressing the data with a lossless algorithm, transmitting the compressed data as a reference frame, reading subsequent data, calculating a delta between the first data and the subsequent data, compressing the data delta, and determining if the compression ratio of the compressed data delta is within a predetermined tolerance threshold. If the compression ratio is within the threshold, transmitting the compressed data delta frame, and repeating the calculating, compressing, and determining steps for subsequent data; Else if the compression ratio is not within the threshold, compressing the current subsequent data and transmitting the result as an updated reference frame. Then repeating the calculating, compressing, and determining steps for subsequent data. A system and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for implementing the method are also disclosed.
