Abstract
A multiple light controlling system where a primary control pod receives a lighting schedule wirelessly and re-communicates the lighting schedule to a plurality of slaved secondary control pods via power line communication. Each of the control pods may in turn control several lights in a growing zone. Each zone may have its own lighting schedule to promote optimal plant development. Each of the control pods may also gather environmental or operational information and return that information to the primary control pod and ultimately to a remote computing device.
