Window controllers and methods for controlling tinting and other functions of tinting zones of multi-zone tintable windows and multiple tinting zones of a group of tintable windows.

Methods of controlling multi-zone tintable windows

System for controlling tinting of one or more zones of windows in a building based on clear sky models for the building site maintained on a cloud network.

Control methods and systems using external 3D modeling and schedule-based computing

Certain aspects pertain to a combination sensor comprising a set of physical sensors facing different directions proximate a structure, and configured to measure solar radiation in different directions. The combination sensor also comprises a virtual facade-aligned sensor configured to determine a combi-sensor value at a facade of the structure based on solar radiation readings from the set of physical sensors.

Combi-sensor systems

A system for controlling tinting of one or more zones of windows in a building based on predictions of future environmental conditions.

Control methods and systems using external 3D modeling and neural networks

Various implementations relate generally to multi-sensor devices. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device including a ring of radially-oriented photosensors. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device that is orientation-independent with respect to a central axis of the ring. Some implementations of the multi-sensor devices described herein further include one or more additional sensors. For example, some implementations include an axially-directed photosensor. Some implementations also can include one or more temperature sensors configured to sense an exterior temperature, for example, an ambient temperature of an outdoors environment around the multi-sensor. Additionally or alternatively, some implementations include one or more of an infrared sensor or infrared sensors, a cellular communication circuit, and a GPS module.

Multi-sensor for sensing radiation from multiple directions

Methods and systems for controlling tintable windows based on cloud detection.

Methods and systems for controlling tintable windows with cloud detection

A method of controlling tint of a tintable window to account for occupant comfort in a room of a building. The tintable window is between the interior and exterior of the building. The method predicts a tint level for the tintable window at a future time based on lighting received through the tintable window into the room at the future time and space type in the room. The method also provides instructions over a network to transition tint of the tintable window to the tint level.

Control method for tintable windows

Infrared cloud detector systems and methods for detecting cloud cover conditions.

Infrared cloud detector systems and methods

Sensing sun radiation using a plurality of photosensors and a pyrometer for controlling tinting of windows

Methods of controlling tint of a tintable window to account for occupant comfort in a room of a building. Some methods include receiving weather feed data from one or more weather services (or other data sources) over a communication network, determining a weather condition based on the weather feed data, and determining a tint level for the tintable window based on the weather condition and based on whether a current time is within a time delay period at sunrise or sunset.

The present disclosure generally relates to infrared cloud detector systems and methods for detecting cloud cover conditions. The infrared cloud detector system comprises an infrared sensor, an ambient temperature sensor, and logic. The infrared sensor is configured to measure sky temperature based on infrared radiation received within its field-of-view. The ambient temperature sensor is configured to measure an ambient temperature. And the logic is configured to determine a cloud condition based on a difference between the measured sky temperature and the measured ambient temperature.
