Only walking from one light to the next takes already a while. The most challenging part is to provide a way in which detected devices are automatically mapped to a floorplan.
-
Design a pre-commissioning tool taking into account how big those buildings are from a UI/UX perspective.
-
Load existing CAD drawings or floorplans into a tablet-based application.
-
Let the user mark and name the locations of lights and groups of lights.
-
Query on site for existing devices which will give you a list of device identifiers.
-
Study the literature and design an algorithm (machine learning) that takes into account inter-device signal strengths and auto-place them on the map [1]
-
Query the devices for inter-device signal strength
-
Use some algorithm to map this to a topology.
-
Map this towards devices on the map.
-
Assign (repetitive) lighting control settings to sensors positioned in the drawing.
-
Introduce templates
-
Group selection, drag & drop, make the entire UI/UX smooth.
