Abstract
Example embodiments relate to luminaire networks with sensors. One example luminaire network includes a plurality of luminaires and a central unit that includes a central communication unit. The plurality of luminaires includes a communication unit configured to make it possible for the luminaires to communicate with each other and/or with the central communication unit. The plurality of luminaires also includes a control unit configured to control the luminaire as well as the communication unit. The central unit is configured to have access to information about the location of the luminaires. At least one of the plurality of luminaires in the luminaire network further includes at least one sensor which can sense information relating to the environment. The communication unit of the luminaire is configured to send messages relating to the sensed information to the central communication unit and/or to at least one other luminaire including a communication unit.
