Abstract:
1. A method for power-independent lighting system reset, the lighting system including a computing system, nonvolatile communication memory, and non-volatile reset memory, the method comprising: receiving power at the computing system from an external power source; while power is being received from the external power source: detecting termination of power supply from the external power source to the computing system and non-volatile reset memory; storing the first instantaneous reset switch state in the non-volatile reset memory while the non-volatile reset memory is unpowered; detecting power supply from the external power source to the computing system after power supply termination; interrogating the reset memory for the stored reset switch state in response to power supply from the external power source to the computing system after power supply termination; determining a second instantaneous reset switch state in response to power supply from the external power source to the computing system after power supply termination; comparing the stored reset switch state and the second instantaneous reset switch state in response to power supply from the external power source to the computing system after power supply termination; determining that the stored reset switch state matches the second reset switch state; in response to the stored reset switch state matching the second instantaneous reset switch state: determining that the stored reset switch state differs from the second reset switch state; and in response to the stored reset switch state differing from the second instantaneous reset switch state:
