Abstract
Methods, systems and computer-readable media or provided for implementing a proxy for a legacy lighting control component. A lighting unit () may be polled for data indicative of a lighting state of the lighting unit. It may be determined that the lighting state of the lighting unit corresponds to a predetermined lighting state. A predetermined lighting scene triggered by transition of the lighting unit into the predetermined lighting state may be identified, and one or more other lighting units may be caused to implement the predetermined lighting scene. In some embodiments, a user interface may be operable to create an association between a legacy switch or sensor () that controls a first lighting unit () and a predetermined lighting scene to be implemented at least in part by a second lighting unit (-), e.g., leaving a direct association between the first lighting unit and the legacy switch or sensor transparent to a user.
