Overview - ISO/IEC TR 15067-2:1997 (HES Lighting Model)

ISO/IEC TR 15067-2:1997 is a Technical Report from ISO/IEC JTC 1 that defines a lighting application model for Home Electronic Systems (HES). It provides a physical and logical model for lighting control in residential automation and supplies a preliminary set of HES messages for exchanging commands, status and data among lighting components. The report is intended as a reference for modeling lighting components, interactions and use cases within an HES environment.

Key topics and technical content

• Physical lighting model
  • Defines physical components: fixture (illuminator), switch, dimmer, sensor, device concentrator, user interface, user interface concentrator, and lighting system controller.
  • Describes how HES interfaces are required on components or provided via concentrators, and how physical units map to logical units.
• Logical lighting model
  • Introduces logical elements lighting activator (source of control signals) and illuminator (light source).
  • Covers architectural variants: simple, complex, hierarchical, and distributed lighting systems to accommodate different intelligence and control strategies.
• Lighting use cases
  • Provides example scenarios illustrating practical deployments: single-switch control, sensor-based ambient modulation, occupancy detection with delays, predefined scenes (lighting “moments”), and security-driven pseudo-random lighting.
• HES message framework
  • Offers a preliminary message set and overview for commands, status reports and data exchange. Message examples in the report include relationships such as Activator–Illuminator, Activator–User Interface, Coordinator–Activator, and Activator/Coordinator–Other controllers.

Practical applications and users

• Who benefits
  • System architects and integrators designing residential lighting control and HES interfaces.
  • Product manufacturers building intelligent fixtures, dimmers, sensors, concentrators, and lighting controllers.
  • Software developers implementing HES messaging, scene management, or distributed control logic.
  • Standards bodies and test labs validating interoperability between HES lighting components.
• Use cases
  • Designing interoperable home lighting solutions that support scenes, occupancy and ambient-light compensation.
  • Mapping physical hardware to logical control models for software control and system integration.
  • Defining message-level interactions for coordinated operation with other home subsystems (security, life-safety).
