"Wireless control is one of the most exciting frontiers in lighting control and energy management, offering significant potential benefits for residential and nonresidential lighting systems, large and small buildings, and both existing buildings and new construction. New technologies are now being commercialized that will redefine wireless control by dramatically expanding its utility. All lighting systems incorporate control functionality that enables on/off switching and/or dimming. Automating this functionality is proven to significantly reduce energy costs and provide other benefits. Many types of lighting automation systems consist of a hierarchy of connected control devices in which control signals are sent (either one-way or both ways) using low-voltage communications wires. This wiring adds costs to the system..."
