Abstract
A wireless sensor network at a monitored location can be configured to generate sensor channel(s) of data to assess operational conditions at the monitored location. Inputs based on the sensor channel(s) of data are provided to a host system for analysis of a demand to one or more resources at the monitored location. Response messages can be generated based on the demand analysis and transmitted to actuator(s) at the monitored location to effect an adjustment to the operational conditions.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a wireless communication subsystem that includes a wireless transceiver and a first controller, the wireless transceiver enabling the receipt of a control message from a host system remote from a building, the control message based on an analysis by the host system of sensor data measurements performed in the building;
- and
- an actuator subsystem connected to the wireless communication subsystem via a wired communication interface, the actuator subsystem including a second controller and a wired control interface that connects to an actuator device in the building, the second controller configured to receive control information, which is based on the control message, from the first controller, and to initiate, in response to the received control information, transmission of a response action control signal to the actuator device via the wired control interface for control of a physical environment condition in the building.
A device, comprising:
- a wireless communication subsystem that includes a wireless transceiver and a first controller, the wireless transceiver enabling the receipt of a control message using a wireless communication protocol;
- and
- an actuator subsystem connected to the wireless communication subsystem via a wired communication interface, the actuator subsystem including a second controller, the second controller configured to receive control information, which is based on the control message, from the first controller, and to initiate, in response to the received control information, transmission of a response action control signal to an actuator device via an external wired control interface for execution of an action by the actuator device.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a control message by a wireless communication subsystem of a wireless device using a wireless communication protocol;
- transmitting, by a first controller in the wireless communication subsystem, control information based on the received control message to a second controller in an actuator sub system of the wireless device;
- and
- initiating, by the second controller based on the receipt of the control information, a response action control signal to an actuator device, the actuator device connected to the wireless device via a wired control interface, the response action control signal configured to cause an execution of an action by the actuator device.
