1. A system for adapting a lighting control interface in an environment, the system comprising:
at least one input interface in the environment and configured to receive a signal indicative of conversational input from a user;
at least one output interface in the environment and configured to control the lighting control interface; and
at least one processor in the environment and configured to receive from the at least one input interface the signal indicative of conversational input from the user, to analyze the conversational input, to determine an activity and a location based on the analysis, to determine the location at least in part from the activity, to select a stored activity matching the activity from a plurality of activities stored in a memory, each of the plurality of activities being associated with a light setting in the memory, to obtain a light setting associated with the selected activity from the memory, to identify a light device at the determined location, and to use the at least one output interface to control the light device through the lighting control interface;
wherein the light device at the location is controlled according to the determined light setting in response to receiving an input via the lighting control interface; and
wherein the input is a user input or a sensor input, and the at least one output interface comprises a transmitter for transmitting a request to adapt the lighting control interface to an interface device comprising the lighting control interface.
