Abstract

A method for controlling at least one wireless network access point in a building may include detecting whether a wireless communication device is connected to at least one wireless network access point and/or whether a person is present using a group of presence detectors. An illumination system may include at least one wireless network point and/or the group of presence detectors. An activated network access point may remain activated when the wireless network access point is connected to a wireless communication device and/or when a person is present. A network access point may be automatically deactivated when the wireless network access point is not connected to a wireless communication device and/or when a person is not present. A deactivated network access point may be automatically reactivated when the wireless network access point is connected to a wireless communication device and/or when a person is present. Combinations thereof are also possible.
