Abstract
The invention relates to a system () comprising a controlling device () like a sensor for controlling a controlled device () like a luminaire, a trigger unit () for generating a trigger signal, and an assigning unit () for assigning the controlling device and the controlled device to each other, if the trigger signal has been generated, wherein the controlling device controls the controlled device, if they have been assigned to each other. This allows an installer to generate assignments between the controlling device and the controlled device very easily. The installer just needs to connect the controlling and controlled devices, which should be assigned to each other, to the system and actuate the trigger unit. For instance, it can relatively easily be defined which luminaires should react on signals from which sensors.
