A communication rate between a cloud-based server and an HVAC controller located within a building may be controlled based on the amount of power available at the HVAC controller. The cloud-based server may notify a user if the amount of power available at the HVAC controller is determined to be low.

Systems and methods to control a communication rate between a thermostat and a cloud based server

Method to control a communication rate between a thermostat and a cloud based server

A round-robin system having a suspend mechanism. The system may solve a synchronization issue relative to wireless communication with several hosts. With round-robin, a gateway device may permit user communication with one host at a time. The suspend mechanism, during a round-robin sequence, may enable a user with a request via an internet cloud, or the like, to interrupt the sequence and go to one specific host.

Gateway round-robin system

A remote access gateway configurable control system. There may be a series of control commands to set or adjust a gateway device's running parameters and modify the behavior of the device or start process action. There may be configuration commands for remote control of the device and server commands for unattended devices.

The DYNAMIC ADAPTABLE ENVIRONMENT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS ('DAERMC') transforms various user, component and environment inputs into responsive environment outputs. In some implementations, the DAERMC allows users to manage a plurality of locations via mobile electronic devices (e.g., electronic mobile devices, resource management devices, and/or the like), and may be able to integrate and provide a plurality of information from said devices, including location data, current and projected weather data, current and future resource usage data, messages and/or like notifications, resource usage schedules, resource usage reports, resource usage settings, overrides, and/or the like.

A mailbox data storage mechanism for a remote device in a heating, ventilation and air conditioning environment. The mechanism, as a part of a gateway device and acting as a citizen of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning environment, may collect system information regularly and maintain a copy of the latest data locally which can be a response to external access requests in time at any moment. The mechanism may limit the latency for external access and improve user experience. The mechanism may help satisfy multiple interfaces.

Mailbox data storage system

An asynchronous reporting mechanism for a remote device in a heating, ventilation and air conditioning environment. Using gateway information, such as a device address, report information may be sent to the user account, or using another approach, the information may be sent directly to the user. An asynchronous message may be sent without user intervention or request.

Asynchronous reporting system

An operation alteration of a network attached thermostat to control power usage. Control wires for a heating and air conditioning system may be connected to a thermostat control circuit configured to control the system. A power extraction circuit may be coupled to the control wires configured to extract power from the control wires. The power may be put into a storage device. The power may be provided to the thermostat control circuit and a WiFi radio module. The radio module may provide a network connection for the thermostat. Circuitry and techniques may be provided to reduce power usage by the thermostat components.
