A wireless authentication interference unit comprising: a receiver; a transmitter; and a controller configured to: detect, via the receiver, a first wireless signal indicative of a wireless authentication protocol between an authentication terminal and an authentication key; and output, via the transmitter, an interference signal during a broadcast of an authentication message from the authentication key, wherein the interference signal disrupts authentication of the authentication key by the authentication terminal.

Wireless authentication systems and methods

A system for controlling operation of a plurality of appliances includes first and second appliances. The first appliance is configured to report a power consumption via a network. A second appliance is configured to operate dependent on the power consumption reported by the first appliance.

Priority-based energy management

A power source and power management system including: a controller configured to transmit tracking information of the power source and power management system; an energy harvesting power source; a non-degrading rechargeable power source electrically connected to the energy harvesting power source and configured to be recharged by energy generated by the energy harvesting power source; and a power manager configured to control switching of a system power source between the energy harvesting power source and the non-degrading rechargeable power source based on a power state of the energy harvesting power source and a power state of the non-degrading rechargeable power source.

Extended-life asset tracking and sensing power source and management system

An HVAC controller includes (1) an interface coupled to an air quality sensor proximate to the premises and coupled to a data source external to the HVAC system, the interface configured to receive environmental data from both the air quality sensor and the external data source and (2) a processor configured to automatically operate a demand unit of the HVAC system based on the environmental data.

Control techniques in a heating, ventilation and air conditioning network based on environmental data

A device for enabling Internet access over a wireless short-range communications network that comprises the means to detect and identify the occupants of the room the device resides in, includes a safety mode to prevent unauthorized device reprogramming and works in conjunction with a smart device application to improve accuracy of its occupancy detection capabilities.

Building network hub with occupancy awareness

A system for detecting and identifying occupants of rooms in a building works with an application allowing configurable control and actuation of various controller and actuators around the building and easy configuration of short range communication devices.

Building occupancy sensor network

A system for automatic setup and control of Lighting, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems comprising a set of occupancy detectors and at least one controller where the controller determines various aspects of the building control based on the input of the occupancy detectors.

System for controlling HVAC and lighting functionality

In one aspect, the disclosure provides an HVAC system. In one embodiment, the HVAC system includes: (1) an air handler configured to condition and circulate air for the HVAC system, and (2) an air handler controller for the HVAC system configured to control operation of the air handler, the air handler controller including interface circuitry having a predetermined coupling impedance and configured to couple the air handler controller to components of the HVAC system via a communications network of the HVAC system, wherein a total of the predetermined coupling impedance and an end node coupling impedance at each of the components is substantially a defined maximum loading impedance for the communications network and wherein the end node coupling impedance of one of said plurality of end nodes is determined based on said predetermined coupling impedance and end node coupling impedances of remaining ones of the plurality of end nodes.

Communications system, a HVAC system employing the same and a method of manufacturing a component for the HVAC system

The disclosure provides an HVAC data processing and communication network and a method of manufacturing the same. In an embodiment, the method includes configuring a user interface to receive a first parameter setting associated with a system device. The user interface is further configured to send a message to the system device including the first parameter setting. The user interface is further configured to receive from the system device a second parameter setting that is dependent on the first parameter setting. The user interface is further configured to make the second parameter setting available for viewing.

Device abstraction system and method for a distributed-architecture heating, ventilation and air conditioning system

The disclosure provides an HVAC data processing and communication network. In an embodiment, the network includes a user interface, a first subnet controller and a second subnet controller. The first subnet controller is configured to operate with a first zone of the network with a first program schedule. The second subnet controller is configured to operate with a second zone of the network with a second program schedule. The second subnet controller is further configured to override the first and second schedules to operate the first and the second zones according to hold settings received from the user interface.
