Abstract
Luminaire controllers and methods for controlling luminaires are disclosed. A luminaire controller comprises a sensor input, a communication interface, a mode selector, a local control component, and a distributed control component. The sensor input receives sensor signals from occupancy sensing devices of a luminaire, the communication interface communicates with a lighting network, the mode selector selects an operating mode for the luminaire based on sensor signals and occupancy information, the local control component controls an illumination source of the luminaire according to a selected operating mode, and the distributed control component selectively broadcasts occupancy messages by initiating a distributed control procedure.
