Abstract
A lighting apparatus can include a light source, a communication circuit, and a controller. The light source can emit visible light and be powered by a power signal. The communication circuit can wirelessly communicate with an electronic device and be in a first mode in which wireless communication by the communication circuit is enabled and a second mode in which wireless communication by the communication circuit is disabled. The controller can: activate and deactivate the light source; detect a set change in the power signal over a period of time when the communication circuit is in the second mode; and responsive to detecting the set change, cause the communication circuit to transition from being in the second mode to being in the first mode.
