Lighting control system

1. A lighting control system comprising:

a smart device comprising a client app installed thereon and a light sensor disposed thereon;

at least one luminaire assembly comprising a plurality of luminaires set into at least one luminaire group via the client app to be controlled in groups; and

a server communicatively connected to the smart device and the at least one luminaire assembly, the server comprising:

a database module for storing parameter settings set via the client app, operating data gathered from the at least one luminaire assembly, and at least one GPS location of the at least one luminaire assembly;

a brightness control module for controlling the at least one luminaire assembly to provide different brightness variations at different times according to the parameter settings obtained from the database module and an ambient variation detected by the at least one luminaire assembly;

a mode switching module for controlling the at least one luminaire assembly to switch between different operating modes according to the operating data obtained from the database module and the ambient variation detected by the at least one luminaire assembly;

a brightness compensation module for compensating the brightness of the at least one luminaire assembly by comparing a luminance setting of the at least one luminaire assembly with an ambient luminance detected by the light sensor of the smart device; and

a GPS module for comparing a GPS location of the smart device with the at least one GPS location of the at least one luminaire assembly to decide whether the smart device is in a user-defined range of the at least one luminaire assembly to automatically turn on or off the at least one luminaire assembly.

2. The lighting control system of claim 1 , wherein each luminaire assembly further comprises:

a gateway communicatively connected to the server;

at least one lighting controller communicatively connected to the gateway and electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of luminaires; and

at least one sensor electrically connected to the at least one lighting controller for detecting the ambient variation.

3. The lighting control system of claim 2 , wherein the client app comprises:

a group page for setting and turning on or off the at least one luminaire group;

a schedule page for setting the parameter settings to arrange actions of the at least one luminaire group;

an advanced page for setting a software electric meter and a connection between the gateway and the at least one lighting controller; and

a setting page for setting parameters related to the group page, the schedule page, and the advanced page.

4. The lighting control system of claim 3 , wherein the group page comprises at least one group control button displayed thereon each for controlling corresponding one of the at least one luminaire group to turn on or off or dim.

5. The lighting control system of claim 3 , wherein the software electric meter is provided to calculate energy consumption of the at least one luminaire assembly and set a usage limitation on the energy consumption of the at least one luminaire assembly.

6. The lighting control system of claim 2 , wherein the at least one sensor detects people flow to transfer to the server to store as the operating data in the database module, and wherein the mode switching module analyzes the people flow to control the at least one luminaire assembly to automatically switch between the operating modes comprising a busy mode, a sensor mode, a silent mode, and a security mode.

7. The lighting control system of claim 2 , wherein the at least one GPS location of the at least one luminaire assembly comprises a GPS location of the gateway, and wherein the user-defined range of the at least one luminaire assembly comprises a user-defined range of the gateway's location.

8. The lighting control system of claim 7 , wherein the user-defined range of the gateway's location comprises a circle having a user-defined radius.

9. The lighting control system of claim 1 , wherein the client app activates the light sensor of the smart device to periodically detect the ambient luminance, and activates a network communication function of the smart device to communicatively connect to the server to compare the ambient luminance with the luminance setting to compensate the brightness of the at least one luminaire assembly.

10. The lighting control system of claim 1 , wherein the server is wirelessly connected to the smart device and the at least one luminaire assembly.

11. The lighting control system of claim 1 , wherein the parameter settings and the operating data are stored for different users in the database module.

12. The lighting control system of claim 1 , wherein the smart device comprises a smart phone, a phablet, or a tablet.

13. The lighting control system of claim 1 , wherein the parameter settings comprises:

a time range setting for determining when the luminaire group is turned on or off or dimmed;

a brightness variation setting for determining the dimming of brightness of the luminaire group; and

a group range setting for determining which luminaire is set into the luminaire group.

14. The lighting control system of claim 1 , wherein the client app further comprises a sign-in button, wherein when the sign-in button is pressed and the smart device is in the user-defined range, the server records sign-in and sign-out times of the smart device to the database module, and wherein the server provides how many smart devices are in the user-defined range by extracting information about the sign-in and sign-out times stored in the database module.
