In order to solve the problem of lighting waste in developing countries and backward areas, an application of Internet of Things technology, combined with edge computing, is proposed to achieve intelligent lighting system for office buildings. The system takes the Internet of Things technology as the core, and combine ZigBee short-distance, low complexity, low-rate, low-power, low-cost and two-way wireless communication advantage, and based on mesh topology designs an energy-saving system for office building lighting. Intelligently control the switch of the luminaire or switch the preset illumination mode according to the sensed number of people in the current office, location and illumination brightness, effectively overcomes the defects of traditional lighting mode management backwardness, waste of energy, poor comfort and complicated wiring. The objective is to achieve the goal of energy saving and consumption reduction for office building lighting. Through practice and experimental test analysis, the improved energy consumption of the energy saving is about 30% per year, and the effect is remarkable.
