Abstract:
1. A method to dynamically capture a new setpoint for a daylighting-control zone, the method performed by a daylighting controller, said daylighting controller having at least one daylighting-control object, and comprising the steps of: listening for a light-level-adjustment command being transmitted to one or more lighting-load-control objects controlling light sources in said daylighting-control object's control zone; categorizing said light-level-adjustment command as On, Off, Raise/Lower, or Ignored; when an applicable On or Raise/Lower command is detected, starting a setpoint-capture cycle; suspending the daylighting operation of said daylighting-control zone until said setpoint-capture process has completed; waiting for the current light-level-adjustment cycle to complete or be cancelled; and when the current light-level-adjustment cycle has completed, reading and then writing the currently sensed light level of said daylighting-control object's control zone as the new setpoint of said daylighting-control object; wherein:
