Abstract:
The Internet of Things is being integrated into many aspects of our daily lives to optimise it. Smart building, in particular, smart lighting, is one of the aspects that can benefit power consumption and user well-being. However, such systems’ installation and maintenance costs are hampering their dissemination. The commissioning of lighting infrastructures is a human and time-consuming task whose complexity increases with the size of the building under installation. The manual discovery of the luminaires in the building and their association with their digital counterparts is one of the main reasons for this, and the current state-of-the-art solutions do not properly address it. In this paper, we propose Lite4More, a modular hardware and software solution that can be easily adapted to different installation requirements and address the lighting infrastructure commissioning issue by automating it. Lite4More takes advantage of the Cloud, Edge and IoT device layers to, through the use
of AI algorithms, guide the technician along the commissioning procedure, reducing on-site work and aiming to reduce the total time for commissioning.
