| Title: |
Multi-Room Controlled for Individual Light Controls |
| Abstract: |
A multi-room controller for controlling a plurality of individual light
controls, each associated with a room of a partitionable space. The
individual light controls each control the light individually in the
control's room. An assignment panel associated with the multi-room
controller is operable to link several individual light controls in a
group under the control of a selected individual control within the group.
This linking occurs when several rooms have been combined into a larger
room and it is desirable to have uniform control of the lighting within
the larger room. The multi-room controller is in communication with each
individual light control and responsive to the assignment panel for
transferring control of the group to the selected individual light
control. In one operation mode, the lighting is controlled by a
preselected individual control. In another mode, the lighting is
controlled by any of the linked controls in the group. All linked controls
mimic the last activated control.
