Abstract
A system and method of lighting protocol and architecture to control lighting parameters, consisting of an X-byte data packet with command, addressing, Hue, Saturation, and Intensity selection, and fading control whereby commands set a remote device state with no need for a constant stream of data, each fixture computing its own parameters. Management of a lighting fixture is done with its own local controller having light management thus eliminating the need for the central controller to handle a magnitude of lighting fixtures. The central controller sending only commands for state changes, eliminating the need for continuous computation and command transmission to all fixtures within its realm. The remote controller manages transitions from one state to another after a command.
