Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems are described for replacing a lighting device in a wireless lighting device network. A first lighting device is identified using a mobile device such as, for example, a smart phone. Configuration data for the first lighting device is downloaded to the mobile device from a configuration database. The first lighting device is physically replaced with a second, replacement lighting device and the second lighting device is identified using the mobile device. The downloaded configuration data corresponding to the first lighting device is then uploaded from the mobile device to the second lighting device and is subsequently used by the second lighting device to control the operation of the second lighting device. The configuration database is then updated based on the identification information for the second lighting device and the configuration data uploaded to the second lighting device from the mobile device.
