Abstract

Method of and device for commissioning a lighting system including a plurality of lighting fixtures positioned at a plurality of physical locations. The lighting fixtures are mapped to a respective physical location using signals generated by the lighting fixtures and received at multiple detection locations by at least one or more detecting devices integrated with or external to the lighting fixtures. In particular, the method applies a probability-based algorithm to distances from the physical locations to multiple detection locations, and RSSI levels of signals received at the detection locations to determine a probability of having a respective lighting fixture located at a respective physical location. The method provides for commissioning the lighting system without traversing all the physical locations of lighting fixtures, resulting in a reduction of both work load for conducting the commissioning of the lighting system and processing power required for the commissioning.
