1. A lighting control system for lighting devices for use with a graphical user interface including a processor and a touchscreen, comprising:
a first lighting controller for installation at a first site, the lighting controller including:
a wireless transceiver in wireless communication with the lighting devices located at the first site and for controlling the correlated color temperature (CCT) and dimming level of lighting devices located at the first site; and
a memory storing a plurality of circadian stimulus (CS) profile schedules, each one of the plurality of CS profile schedules define preset, configurable segments spanning a duration of time between a beginning scheduled setpoint and an ending scheduled setpoint, each segment having a transition profile between the beginning and ending scheduled setpoint, and the beginning setpoints and ending scheduled setpoints each having a CCT, a dimming level, and a time, and the transition profile including CCT and dimming level information; and
an application executed by the processor of the graphical user interface, the graphical user interface in communication with the lighting controller, the application enabling a user to use the touchscreen to:
select one of the plurality of CS profile schedules;
select one of the scheduled setpoints of the selected one of the plurality of CS profile schedules;
modify independently one or more of the CCT, the dimming level, and the time for the selected one of the scheduled setpoints;
select at least one lighting zone of the lighting devices; and
apply the selected one of the plurality of CS profile schedules to the selected at least one lighting zone of lighting devices; and
wherein the lighting controller transmits to the selected at least one lighting zone of the lighting devices the beginning scheduled setpoint, ending scheduled setpoint, and transition profile for each segment at a time for which execution of the immediately preceding segment by the at least one lighting one of lighting devices is complete or nearing completion.
