Abstract
A system for commissioning a smart luminaire (122A, 122B) in an indoor positioning system (100) includes a mobile device (110) including a mobile device control processor (112) in communication with a commissioning application (117), the commissioning application configured to communicate with one or more position beacons (120A, 120B) distributed throughout a spatial volume of a structure, the one or more position beacons configured to broadcast a unique identifier within the spatial volume via a wireless communication protocol, and to receive a transmission from the mobile device; a wireless transceiver (118) in the mobile device configured to receive the broadcasted positions, and to transmit data to the one or more position beacons, and the commissioning application configured to authenticate itself to the position beacon, and to programmatically change the unique identifier. A method for commissioning smart luminaires and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing executable instructions is also disclosed.
