Something similar happened in a meeting room rebuild at my work. Fancy new wireless scene controller/dimmer for meeting room ceiling led lights, but its needs to know the serial of each light to join it to the controller. No auto discovery function for system, no simple override switch for the lights. Electrician left without joining all of it together and took the serial info with them. Lights stayed 24/7 on for 3 years until they tracked down the info to finish the setup.

It is printed right on the devices.

Printed on the devices which were sprinkled liberally around 20ft up inside a finished ceiling. Fishing them back out to read the codes was considered but as last resort as the ceiling would be damaged and have to be partially redone.

Honestly, though bad from an energy use perspective, if they’re led lights it might very well be more expensive to disassemble (and repair) the ceiling enough to get the codes and properly program them than it would be to just leave the lights on for several years.
