Lighting automation refers to the use of technology and programming to control and automate the lighting system in a building or space. It involves the implementation of intelligent lighting solutions that can adjust lighting levels, colors, and patterns based on various factors such as time of day, occupancy, daylight availability, and user preferences.

Lighting automation systems typically consist of sensors, control devices, and software that work together to monitor and manage the lighting environment. These systems can be integrated with other building automation systems, such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), to create a more comprehensive and energy-efficient building management solution.
