| 1. A method for managing a plurality of luminaires, comprising:
receiving, by a network server, third-party information delivered from a network formed by a plurality of networked intelligent
luminaire managers, each networked intelligent luminaire manager being coupled to an associated luminaire of a plurality of
luminaires and configured to monitor the associated luminaire, wherein the third-party information originates from an RF device
that joins the network formed by the plurality of networked intelligent luminaire managers, wherein the RF device wirelessly
transmits the third-party information to at least one of the plurality of networked intelligent luminaire managers;
storing, by the network server, the received third-party information; and
routing, by the network server, the received third-party information to a first computer associated with an operator of the
RF device.
