A method for power-independent lighting system reset, the lighting system including a computing system, a nonvolatile communication memory, and a nonvolatile reset memory, the method comprising: • receiving power at the computing system from a power source; • during power receipt from the power source: • storing a set of configuration settings for the lighting system in the nonvolatile communication memory; and • storing a first instantaneous reset switch state in the nonvolatile reset memory; • detecting power supply termination (S120, S200); • in response to power receipt from the power source at the computing system after power supply termination, the computing system: • interrogating the nonvolatile reset memory for the stored reset switch state (S220, S224); • determining a second instantaneous reset switch state; • comparing the stored reset switch state and the second instantaneous reset switch state, further comprising: ▪ in response to the stored reset switch state matching the second instantaneous reset switch state, connecting the computing system to a remote device based on the set of configuration settings; and controlling lighting system operation with the computing system based on instructions received from the remote device; and ▪ in response to the stored reset switch state differing from the second instantaneous reset switch state, erasing a set of customized configuration settings from the communication memory; and initiating a configuration routine. • receiving power at the computing system from a power source; • during power receipt from the power source: • storing a set of configuration settings for the lighting system in the nonvolatile communication memory; and • storing a first instantaneous reset switch state in the nonvolatile reset memory; • storing a set of configuration settings for the lighting system in the nonvolatile communication memory; and • storing a first instantaneous reset switch state in the nonvolatile reset memory; • detecting power supply termination (S120, S200); • in response to power receipt from the power source at the computing system after power supply termination, the computing system: • interrogating the nonvolatile reset memory for the stored reset switch state (S220, S224); • determining a second instantaneous reset switch state; • comparing the stored reset switch state and the second instantaneous reset switch state, further comprising: ▪ in response to the stored reset switch state matching the second instantaneous reset switch state, connecting the computing system to a remote device based on the set of configuration settings; and controlling lighting system operation with the computing system based on instructions received from the remote device; and ▪ in response to the stored reset switch state differing from the second instantaneous reset switch state, erasing a set of customized configuration settings from the communication memory; and initiating a configuration routine. • interrogating the nonvolatile reset memory for the stored reset switch state (S220, S224); • determining a second instantaneous reset switch state; • comparing the stored reset switch state and the second instantaneous reset switch state, further comprising: ▪ in response to the stored reset switch state matching the second instantaneous reset switch state, connecting the computing system to a remote device based on the set of configuration settings; and controlling lighting system operation with the computing system based on instructions received from the remote device; and ▪ in response to the stored reset switch state differing from the second instantaneous reset switch state, erasing a set of customized configuration settings from the communication memory; and initiating a configuration routine. ▪ in response to the stored reset switch state matching the second instantaneous reset switch state, connecting the computing system to a remote device based on the set of configuration settings; and controlling lighting system operation with the computing system based on instructions received from the remote device; and ▪ in response to the stored reset switch state differing from the second instantaneous reset switch state, erasing a set of customized configuration settings from the communication memory; and initiating a configuration routine.
