Method and apparatus for altering the behavior of a networked control system

The invention relates to altering the behavior of a networked control system such as the integrating of a device such as a light unit or a light switch in a networked control system such as a networked lighting system. An embodiment of the invention provides a method for altering the behavior of a networked control system, which comprises several devices, wherein the method comprises the steps of-selecting an abstract control logic program from a list of several abstract control logic programs (SIO), -transmitting a message for requesting replies from devices (S 12), -waiting for receiving a reply from at least one device (S 14), -displaying the profile of at least one device of the devices (S 16), from which replies were received, -waiting for a selection of at least one device from the displayed profiles (S 18), -generating code establishing the behavior of the selected abstract control logic program for the selected one or more devices (S20), and-uploading the generated code to one or more devices in the networked control system such that the selected devices will behave according to the selected abstract control logic program (S22). The invention allows creating a behavior alteration procedure for a networked control system, which is very intuitive for users, who merely have to perform some easy and comfortable interactions such as selecting the abstract control logic program.
