Abstract
A networked light control system includes a wireless detection circuit configured to receive wireless signals emitted by marker devices associated with different lighting devices. The control system includes the lighting devices connected with each other in a wired lighting control network. The control system includes a controller configured to determine network addresses of the lighting devices in the wired lighting control network based on the wireless signals received from the marker devices. The control system includes the controller is configured to control operation of one or more of the lighting devices in the wired lighting control network using one or more of the network addresses that are determined based on the wireless signals received from the marker devices.
