Patent attributes
A luminaire control device for use with a municipal light pole. The device is plugged into a standard dimming receptacle and includes a universal power supply for converting AC power received in any of the common municipal distribution voltages to a uniform DC output usable by small electronic components of an accompanying control system. The universal power supply and control system are configured to fit within the form factor required by applicable standards. The control system includes program logic to control the luminaire by sending control signals via the dimming receptacle. These signals may be sent using one, two, or more control channels as defined by the standard, and may control a single luminaire or multiple luminaires via the different channels. The device may further include a wireless transceiver to facilitate remote access and control of the light, allowing a municipal light pole to be retrofitted as an IoT device.
