A unit and method for remotely monitoring and/or controlling an apparatus
and specifically for remotely monitoring and/or controlling street lamps.
The lamp monitoring and control unit comprises a processing and sensing
unit for sensing at least one lamp parameter of an associated lamp, and
for processing the lamp parameter to monitor and control the associated
lamp by outputting monitoring data and control information, and a
transmit unit for transmitting the monitoring data, representing the at
least one lamp parameter, from the processing and sensing unit. The
method for monitoring and controlling a lamp comprises the steps of:
sensing at least one lamp parameter of an associated lamp; processing the
at least one lamp parameter to produce monitoring data and control
information; transmitting the monitoring data; and applying the control
information.
