Abstract:
1. A controller for a lighting arrangement to associate a lighting scene with an object and co-located beacons, comprising: a detector unit in a remote control having a field of view and a pointing direction, an interface unit in the remote control configured to interface with the lighting arrangement, and a processing unit in the remote control connected to the detector unit and the interface unit, the detector unit configured to provide detection data including parameters related to one or more identifiable co-located beacons within the field of view of the detector unit, wherein the one or more identifiable co-located beacons are configured to provide a multi-axis offset for the pointing direction of the remote control so that a spatial location provides a unique fingerprint location, the remote control configured to operate to spatially locate the one or more identifiable co-located beacons and store and recall the unique fingerprint location and pointing direction; the processing unit configured to associate the unique fingerprint location and detection data associated with the beacons with a set of lighting parameters for the lighting arrangement, the remote control configured to communicate with a control unit of the lighting arrangement.
