Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to transmit a data encoded power signal to addressable devices. A lighting controller sends the data encoded power waveform to a plurality of addressable lighting modules to power and control a behavior of the lighting modules. An inventory function causes the lighting controller to send, one by one, each of the possible unique addresses, or for a particular range of addresses, a command to turn ON lighting modules. The lighting controller monitors the current draw of the power supply or the data encoded power waveform and compares the monitored current with a threshold to determine whether the addressed lighting module responded to the command. The lighting controller provides the user, via a user interface, a list of the responding lighting modules based on the comparison.
