Bridge device for connecting electronic devices

The claims describe an electronic device that acts as a bridge, connecting a local network of smart lights to external systems like a cell phone or a cloud server. It receives commands or data from these external systems and relays them to the lights, and can also send information, such as motion detection alerts, from the lights back to the external systems.

Why it matters: The smart home landscape has evolved significantly since 2019 with the emergence of new interoperability standards like Matter and Thread. These advancements could simplify the complex task of bridging diverse wireless lighting networks with external systems.
