NETWORK OF HETEROGENEOUS DEVICES INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE OUTDOOR LIGHTING FIXTURE NODE

摘要

Methods and apparatus for a scalable network of heterogeneous devices are disclosed. The network may include segment controllers in communication with a remote management system and a plurality of heterogeneous devices such as, for example, lighting fixture nodes and sensors. The segment controllers may transmit sensor data from the sensors to the remote management system. The segment controllers may also transmit control data to the lighting fixture nodes and, optionally, to one or more supplementary nodes. At least some of the control data may be based on data sent from the remote management system and, optionally, the segment controller may generate at least some of the control data independently of the remote management system.
