CPC H05B 47/19 (2020.01) [H04L 41/12 (2013.01)] | 18 Claims |
1. A method for commissioning nodes in a mesh network, the method comprising:
generating, by a data-processing system, a first set of signals to configure a floor plan of a building and to define one or more spaces in relation to the floor plan, including a first space within the building, based on a first user input;
generating, by the data-processing system, a second set of signals to configure one or more scenarios to be assigned to each of the one or more spaces, including a first scenario assigned to the first space, based on a second user input;
transmitting, to a database, the first set of signals and the second set of signals;
retrieving configuration data from the database, wherein the configuration data represents (i) a placement of each device in a first set of placed devices in relation to the first space and (ii) the first scenario assigned to the first space;
generating a first group address that is based on (i) the first space and (ii) predetermined functions to be performed by the first set of placed devices, when provisioned in the mesh network as a first set of provisioned nodes, in performing the first scenario assigned to the first space;
mapping, by an installing device, a first provisioned node in the first set of provisioned nodes to a first placed device in the first set of placed devices, wherein the mapping is based, at least in part, on the installing device receiving a selection of the first provisioned node as matching a device within the first space; and
transmitting, by the installing device, the first group address to the first provisioned node as identified by a unicast address of the first provisioned node, wherein the first group address is transmitted such that the first provisioned node is configured to be responsive, in accordance with the predetermined functions, to one or more subsequently-received messages containing the first group address in a destination address field of the one or more subsequently-received messages.
