Abstract
A method for setting up a lighting system comprising at least two luminaires, which are part of a network and each having a unique network address, wherein each luminaire has at least one sensor and one actuator, characterized by the steps of measuring the relative distance between respectively two luminaires by reading at least one sensor of the luminaire while simultaneously activating at least one actuator of the other luminaire, producing at least one data record, wherein each data record contains the network address of both luminaires and the relative distance of the luminaires from one another, and merging the data records to form a geo-localized network list and comparing the network list to a floorplan underlying the lighting system to determine the physical location of each luminaire.
