Abstract:
A wall controller controls lighting in an area based upon a configurable user interface. The wall controller includes touch and gesture sensing electrodes mounted to a substrate, and an overlay mounted over the touch and gesture sensing electrodes. The overlay includes firmware to define lighting functions relative to a touch or motion gesture on the overlay. A processor is coupled to receive at least one of sensing signals based upon user touch inputs on the overlay, or sensing signals based upon user motion gestures near the overlay. Programming in a memory configures the processor to analyze the received sensing signals in accordance with the firmware of the overlay, generate a lighting control message based upon the analyzed sensing signals, and transmit the lighting control message to one or more luminaires in an area of the wall controller to control an output of the one or more luminaires.

Claim (Index 1):
A wall controller for lighting, comprising:\n a substrate; touch sensing electrodes mounted to the substrate; a capacitive touch driver and sensing circuit coupled to the touch sensing electrodes; gesture sensing electrodes mounted to the substrate; a capacitive gesture driver and sensing circuit coupled to the gesture sensing electrodes; an overlay mounted over the touch sensing and gesture sensing electrodes, wherein the overlay includes firmware to define lighting functions relative to a touch or motion gesture on the overlay; a lighting network data communication interface; a processor coupled to receive at least one of sensing signals, based upon user touch inputs at a location on the overlay and defined by the firmware of the overlay, from the capacitive touch driver and sensing circuit or sensing signals, based upon user motion gestures of a type near the overlay and defined by the firmware of the overlay, from the capacitive gesture driver and sensing circuit; memory coupled to be accessible to the processor; and programming in the memory, wherein the memory stores the programming for execution by the processor and data to be saved or processed by the processor during execution of instructions included in the programming, wherein execution of the programming in the memory configures the processor to: analyze the at least one sensing signals received from the capacitive touch and gesture drivers and sensing circuits in accordance with the firmware of the overlay; generate a lighting control message based upon the analyzed sensing signals; and transmit the lighting control message to one or more luminaires in an area of the wall controller to control an output of the one or more luminaires.
