Automatically search for connected wireless lighting control systems

This creation is about a wireless lighting control system, especially a wireless lighting control system that automatically searches for connections.

According to the lighting device, it is an indispensable daily necessities in daily life, and people's lifestyles have changed a lot because of the appearance of lighting devices. Nowadays, in general households, stores, factories, offices or other public places, there are various lighting devices, such as fluorescent lamps, table lamps, chandeliers, street lamps, indicator lights and the like. The lighting device can not only be used to illuminate dim places, but also to provide a special illumination method by changing the color of the light source, the frequency of the light, the voltage, the current, the power, etc., in order to achieve a visually beautiful effect.

Generally, indoor lighting devices use switches on the wall to control the opening and closing of the light source, or further adjust the lighting mode of the light source and the like. However, in a building with a large indoor space, it is quite inconvenient for the user to walk or switch the light source illumination if it is necessary to walk to the switch to manually touch the switch.
