Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: determining, by a controller, at least one target lighting device; receiving, by the controller, a plurality of touchpoints corresponding to user input via a touchpad sensor; identifying, by the controller, a predefined gesture based at least in part on the plurality of touchpoints; determining, by the controller, a target lighting characteristic associated with the identified predefined gesture; determining, by the controller, an adjustment value for the target lighting characteristic based at least in part on the identified predefined gesture and a travel distance LDS defined, at least in part, by a starting position and an ending position of the plurality of touchpoints; and sending, by the controller, an indication of the target lighting characteristic and the adjustment value to the at least one target lighting device; identifying, by the controller, a paste-gesture based at least in part on the plurality of touchpoints; retrieving, by the controller, values representing a plurality of lighting characteristics from a memory; setting, by the controller, values representing a plurality of current lighting characteristics associated with the at least one target lighting device to the retrieved values; and sending, by the controller, an indication of the plurality of lighting characteristics and the adjustment value based on the retrieved values.
