Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for controlling DALI devices of a DALI lighting system, comprising
an interface for connecting the apparatus to a DALI-bus of said DALI lighting system;
a controller configured to detect and address the DALI devices connected to the DALI-bus and to determine device type information of each DALI device;
storage means for storing addresses of the DALI devices generated by the controlling means and device type information of each DALI device detected by the controlling means; and
Bluetooth transmitter for transmitting the addresses and the device type information to a mobile commissioning device and for receiving configuration information defining behavior of the DALI devices from the mobile commissioning device, wherein
the controller is adapted to configure the DALI devices based on the configuration information;
wherein at least one of the DALI devices is adapted to generate an identification signal when operated by a user to perform an identification operation;
the controller is adapted to receive, via the interface, the identification signal generated and transmitted by the DALI device operated by the user to perform the identification operation and to control the Bluetooth transmitter to transmit to the mobile commissioning device the address assigned to the DALI device operated by the user to perform the identification operation; and
the mobile commissioning device has a graphical user interface that provides an optical indication that the identification operation has been performed by the user for said DALI device in response to receiving the address assigned to the DALI device operated by the user to perform the identification operation.
