Abstract:
1. A lighting apparatus, comprising: a plurality of devices including a plurality of lighting devices included in a network set in advance, the network including a switch comprising buttons configured to control the plurality of lighting devices; a coordinator configured to manage the network; and a remote controller configured to control a multi-zone that is included in the network and to group the plurality of lighting devices into a plurality of groups, wherein the remote controller is configured to transmit a command which sets the buttons of the switch so that the buttons are configured to control functions of the grouped lighting devices, wherein each of the lighting devices is configured to store information related to neighboring lighting devices, and transmit data from a starting lighting device to a target lighting device by using the stored information to determine a route, from the starting lighting device to the target lighting device, which has a lowest cost among a plurality of costs associated with a corresponding plurality of routes, wherein the remote controller is configured to generate a control frame to be transmitted to a selected lighting device, the control frame comprising a data field indicating a length of information to be transmitted, the data field comprising a command to be transmitted to the lighting device, the command comprising a setting command, a transmission command, and a control command, and the transmission command commands transmitting of a parameter set for forming and controlling a zone of the plurality of lighting devices and information associated with a state of the plurality of lighting devices and whether the plurality of lighting devices are broken, a parameter set for the switch and information associated with a state of the switch and whether the switch is broken, a parameter set for correcting an illuminance sensor and information associated with a state of the illuminance sensor and whether the illuminance sensor is broken, a parameter set for a motion of a motion sensor and information associated with a state of the motion sensor and whether the motion sensor is broken, and a parameter set for a control element of the remote controller and information associated with a state of the remote controller and whether the remote controller is broken, and further commands transmitting of a database of each device included in the network via the coordinator.
