Streetlight controllers
The subject matter included in this disclosure can be embodied in an apparatus that includes a computing device having memory and a processor. The processor can be configured to establish a wireless connection with a streetlight controller that communicates with a streetlight, initiate transmission of a set of parameters related to commissioning the streetlight, and receive, from the controller, status and identification information associated with the streetlight.
1. An apparatus comprising:
a streetlight controller housing comprising an enclosure configured to receive a streetlight controller that manages operations of a streetlight; and
a housing receptacle for receiving the streetlight controller housing, the receptacle comprising:
a cylindrical central portion having an outside surface and a threaded inside surface capable of receiving a threaded portion of the streetlight controller housing, and
a peripheral portion disposed around the cylindrical central portion, the peripheral portion including a substantially flat surface, wherein a first set of fastener receptacles are disposed on the surface at locations such that the first set of fastener receptacles aligns with a second set of fastener receptacles disposed on a streetlight housing, wherein the second set of fastener receptacles is designed to couple a receptacle for a plug to the streetlight housing,
wherein the streetlight controller housing further comprises:
a cylindrical protrusion attached to the enclosure, the cylindrical protrusion including a threaded outer surface to securely attach to the threaded inside surface of the cylindrical central portion of the housing receptacle, the cylindrical protrusion having an opening that allows a plurality of wires to be connected between the streetlight controller housing and the streetlight.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the receptacle for the plug complies with a particular standard.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the standard is set by National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral portion includes a second cylindrical portion disposed concentric to the cylindrical central portion.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first and second set of fastener receptacles are configured to receive fasteners that securely fasten the housing receptacle to the streetlight housing.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first set of fastener receptacles comprises two fastener receptacles.
7. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the fasteners include a screw.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of wires comprises at least one wire that is configured to carry a signal for dimming the streetlight.
