Abstract

A method (20) for grouping luminaires (101a-d) arranged as a grid (100) to generate settings for illuminating scenes in a building. Each of the luminaires (101a-d) has one or more sensors (103, 105, 107). Output signals of said one or more sensors (103, 105, 107) are supplied to the controller (109) for the respective luminaire. The sensor information signals (130) including timestamps and luminaire IDs are forwarded wirelessly to a gateway and then to a central database. The sensor information signals (130) is correlated over a defined period of time, and grouping information is based on the correlations found. The grouping information relates to a spatial arrangement of the luminaires (101a-d).
