Lighting connectivity module

Abstract

A lighting module, including: a baseboard configured to receive a user signal indicating a user lighting preference; a communication submodule configured to receive the user signal and convert the user signal to machine readable data indicating the user lighting preference; a control submodule communicably coupled to the wireless communication submodule for receiving the machine readable data, wherein the microcontroller submodule comprises: memory configured to store a lighting parameter provided by a provider, and a processor configured to generate lighting driver instructions based on the user lighting preference and the lighting parameter; and a lighting mode output submodule configured to output the lighting driver instructions to a lighting driver module of a lighting assembly for controlling light emitting elements of the lighting assembly.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A lighting connectivity module comprising:
 a baseboard comprising a first region adjacent a second region;   a radio frequency (RF) transmission line connected to the second region;   a wireless communication chipset mounted to the first region, the RF transmission line communicably coupled to the wireless communication chipset;   a microcontroller mounted to the first region, the microcontroller electrically coupled to the wireless communication chipset, wherein the microcontroller comprises a processor configured to:
 receive an input from the wireless communication chipset, 
 execute firmware for generating lighting instructions based on the input, and 
 provide an output signal at a processor output contact based on the lighting instructions; and 
   an electromagnetic shield mounted to the first region and not the second region, wherein the electromagnetic shield encloses the wireless communication chipset and the microcontroller.
