1. A method for control of a wireless light fixture or wireless window shade in a home automation system of a structure, comprising:
receiving, by a control application (app) executing on a control device, input in a graphical user interface (GUI) requesting a state change to a wireless light fixture or wireless window shade, wherein the state change is to illuminate the wireless light fixture or open the wireless window shade;
determining a Wi-Fi network has not yet been configured in the structure that can provide a Wi-Fi connection to a lamp module or keypad of the home automation system;
in response to a Wi-Fi network having not yet been configured in the structure, sending control commands requesting the state change from the control device directly to the wireless light fixture or wireless window shade via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), to cause the wireless light fixture or wireless window shade to implement the state change;
subsequent to the sending of control commands requesting the state change, receiving, by the control app executing on the control device, further input in the GUI requesting a further state change to the wireless light fixture or wireless window shade;
determining the Wi-Fi network has now been configured in the structure; and
in response to a Wi-Fi network having been configured in the structure, sending control commands requesting the further state change from the control device to the lamp module or keypad via the Wi-Fi connection, which converts and forwards the control commands over BLE to the wireless light fixture or wireless window shade to cause the wireless light fixture or wireless window shade to implement the further state change.
