For different types of luminaires, it is necessary to manually set items that can be controlled by the light source on the electronic device to generate corresponding control interfaces, for example, control opening, closing or brightness adjustment. For example, when the light source is a single light color light emitting diode, the controllable items are to turn on, off, and adjust the brightness; when the light source includes a plurality of light color LEDs of different light colors, it can be controlled. The items are turned on, off, and the brightness adjustment of each of the LEDs.

However, whenever the replaced luminaire is replaced by a different type of luminaire, the item that the light source can be controlled must be set again on the electronic device to generate a new control interface. Also, when the number of luminaires in the wireless lighting system increases, it is also necessary to set a project whose light source can be controlled for the newly added luminaire to generate a corresponding control interface. As a result, the design process of the control interface is complicated, and the construction cost and maintenance cost of the wireless lighting system are increased.

In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a control interface display method for a wireless luminaire, which can automatically generate a control interface corresponding to the luminaire.

In order to achieve the above object, the control interface display method of the wireless light fixture provided by the present invention is applied to a wireless lighting system, the wireless lighting system includes at least one light fixture and an electronic device, and the light fixture communicates with the electronic device through a wireless signal. The luminaire includes a light source, the light source is controlled by a control parameter to change its illuminating state, and the electronic device has a screen. The control interface display method comprises the following steps: A. transmitting a capture command from the electronic device To the luminaire; B, after receiving the capture instruction, returning an information corresponding to the control parameter to the electronic device, wherein the information includes an item that the light source can be controlled; C, according to the received information, A corresponding control interface is displayed on the screen.
