It is provided a method for providing a credential set to a credential carrier for gaining access to a physical space. The method is performed in a credential provider and comprises the steps of: preloading a plurality of credential sets from a server into a local memory, each credential set being usable to gain access to a physical space and each credential set comprising a first validity time; wherein, when a network connection between the credential provider and the server is unavailable, performing the following steps: obtaining a request to provide a credential set for a physical space; retrieving a credential set from the local memory, the credential set being usable to gain access to the physical space indicated in the request; and providing, as long as the first validity time of the credential set has not expired, the retrieved credential set to a credential carrier.

Providing credential set when network connection is unavailable

Methods, systems, and devices for managing energy consumption in multi-room facilities are provided. In particular, intelligent mechanisms for determining a location of a mobile device associated with a room and then for managing energy settings, especially setback controls, of that room are provided. Some logic for implementing these mechanisms may be provided in a mobile device and in-room device, such as a motion detector, thermostat, HVAC controller, door, lock, television, set top box, etc.

Controlling an operating condition of a thermostat

Methods, systems, and devices for updating access permissions of users in an access control system are described. The access permissions are capable of being updated based on rules and thresholds that include as at least one variable presence or contextual information associated with a user. The presence or contextual information associated with a user may be analyzed to trigger a credential update process for that user or other users within the access control system.
