Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method performed by a data processing apparatus, the method comprising: accessing zone configuration data specifying a plurality of zones in a wireless network and further specifying, for each zone, one or more wireless devices of a plurality of wireless devices that belong to the zone; generating a first physical stimulus in an area by instructing wireless lighting devices belonging to a first zone to change an illumination level, the first physical stimulus being a change in an illumination level in the area; in response to the first physical stimulus, receiving sensor data from a photo sensor device that can sense the first physical stimulus in the area and generate the sensor data in response to sensing the first physical stimulus, the photo sensor device not belonging to a zone and the area being an area in which are located other wireless devices belonging to the first zone as specified by the zone configuration data; generating a commissioning event for the first zone including: in response to the sensor data and the commissioning event, updating the zone configuration data so that the zone configuration data specifies that the photo sensor device belongs to the first zone.
