2 Smart lighting system architecture
Smart Lighting is related to the second wave of lighting
technologies that pivot on heterogeneous devices: fluorescent
luminaires, solid state LED and OLED devices with the
possibility of integrating a wide set of capabilities. The most
important features are related to enabling intelligent functions

Figure 4 shows the model that is running in the smart
thermostat. The finite state machine in the CPU defines two
basic operational modes: a first state related to message
transmission and a second one for deep sleep operation where
the thermostat is in low-power mode and the RF transceiver is
disabled to save energy.

In addition, an open REST web service is implemented as

6 Conclusions
In particular, different control strategies in the lighting system
based on daylight obtains savings between (23%-43%)
including the dimming and room occupancy monitoring. In
addition by using pre-defined scenes and incorporating the
office work schedule, intelligent algorithms, manual or both
