Abstract
A lighting system as disclosed herein may include a lighting device, a switch to control the lighting device, and a controller to assign an address to the lighting device and the switch. The controller may be connected to the lighting device and the switch over a ZigBee network. The lighting device and the switch may have a first address and a first network identifier. The lighting device or the switch transmits a request for address assignment to the controller based on the first address, the request including the first network identifier, and the controller compares the first network identifier to a second network identifier stored at the controller, and may assign a second address based on the request if the first network identifier is the same as the second network identifier.
