Abstract

See full text

A remote control device may be configured to transmit command messages based on user interactions. The remote control device may receive an indication of a user interaction and transmit a command message based on the indication of the user interaction. The command message may include a command to adjust an intensity level of a lighting device and a fade period. The fade period may include the period of time over which the lighting device is to transition to the intensity level. After a transmission interval period of time from when the command message was transmitted elapses and based on a subsequent user interaction, the remote control device may transmit another command message, which may include a command for the lighting device to adjust to another intensity level over the fade period. The fade period may be longer than the transmission interval.
