COMMISSIONING DEVICE USING A SHORT-RANGE SIGNAL

A commissioning device can include a commissioning device controller that is configured to: broadcast, using a first wireless communication technology from a location in a volume of space, a query signal within a broadcast range that covers a portion of a zone of interest within the volume of space; receive a confirmation signal from a local controller using a second wireless communication technology, where the confirmation signal includes an identification of each of a plurality of electrical devices located within the broadcast range that received the query signal, where the plurality of electrical devices is a subset of a totality of electrical devices in a system; determine that one electrical device of the plurality of electrical devices is located in the zone of interest; and send a verification signal to the local controller, where the verification signal includes identifying information about the one electrical device.
