Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for generating deployment capabilities of a device, comprising generating a machine-readable optical label that is specific to the device during manufacturing, wherein the device is a new device that is to be added to a network comprising a plurality of devices. The implementations further include configuring a firmware of the device to create a web server that provides a webpage, wherein the webpage includes a user interface that receives and provides configuration information. Additionally, the implementations further include linking the machine-readable optical label to the webpage such that when the machine-readable optical label is scanned by a different device, the webpage is generated on the different device.

A method of access control includes receiving an access request transaction from one of a first identity sensor. Current confidence information is determined for the access request transaction. Prior confidence information is determined for at least one prior access request transaction associated with the user from at least one second identity sensor. A total confidence score value is generated based on a confidence function applied to the current confidence information and the prior confidence information. The total confidence score value is compared with a confidence threshold value for the secure resource associated with the access request transaction. Access to the secure resource is granted, in response to determining that the total confidence score value meets the confidence threshold value. The access to the secure resource is denied, in response to determining that the total confidence score value does not meet the confidence threshold value.

An animal house climate control system uses a method for operating a baffle of an air inlet of an animal house with a motor using timed inlet control. The method includes performing a calibration sequence to calculate opening velocity and opening inertia values and closing velocity and closing inertia values. The method also includes moving the baffle from an initial position to a final position by calculating a calculated power on time for the motor using the opening inertia or closing inertia values. The method can also include calculating a real position error value by comparing the calculated on time for the motor and a measured on time for the motor and using the real position error value to calculate adjusted opening and closing velocity values.

A climate control system () for an animal house () is configured by determining a minimum ventilation curve for required minimum ventilation. A plurality of ventilation stages is created based on the minimum ventilation curve and the plurality of ventilation fans () in the climate control system, each stage providing a percentage of the required minimum ventilation. Creating the stages includes prioritizing the ventilation fans to create a selection hierarchy and determining a minimum stage ventilation and a maximum stage ventilation for each stage. Ventilation fans are selected following the hierarchy that provides the desired percentage of the minimum required ventilation. An increment between a maximum stage ventilation and a minimum stage ventilation for the next higher stage is defined, wherein the minimum capacity level is a function of the minimum capacity of the group of fans added to the next higher stage and the maximum capacity for the next higher stage is determined based on the increment.

A climate control system for an animal house is operated by determining a minimum ventilation curve for required minimum ventilation. A plurality of ventilation stages is created based on the minimum ventilation curve and the plurality of ventilation fans in the climate control system, each stage providing a percentage of the required minimum ventilation. Creating the stages includes prioritizing the ventilation fans to create a selection hierarchy and determining a minimum stage ventilation and a maximum stage ventilation for each stage. Ventilation fans are selected following the hierarchy that provides the desired percentage of the minimum required ventilation. The system advances from a lower stage a higher stage based on ventilation requirements. When it is determined that a fan is not operating, the system returns to the lower stage to substitute ventilation fans.
