Abstract
The disclosure is directed to a control device configured to control the distribution of conditioned air, or liquid, to a space inside a building. In some examples, the control device may be a wall mounted switch, similar to a light switch, inside or near the space. Operating the switch may send signals to control the position of a vent, or a valve, to allow or prevent conditioned air, or liquid, from changing the environment of the space in the building.
Claims16
A system comprising:
- a register device comprising:
- one or more dampers;
- a motor configured to adjust a positioning of the one or more dampers to at least a first damper position and a second damper position,
- wherein in the first damper position, the one or more dampers are open, and
- wherein in the second damper position, the one or more dampers are closed;
- receiver circuitry;
- and
- a first power source configured to deliver power to the motor and the receiver circuitry;
- a controller device configured to receive user input, the controller device comprising:
- transmitter circuitry configured to:
- wirelessly transmit, in response to a first user input, a first signal to the receiver circuitry of the register device to cause the motor to adjust the positioning of the one or more dampers to the first damper position;
- and
- wirelessly transmit, in response to a second user input, a second signal to the receiver circuitry of the register device to cause the motor to adjust the positioning of the one or more dampers to the second damper position;
- wherein the controller device is further configured to, in response to a fourth user input, operate a light switch or an outlet within a room;
- and
- a second power source configured to deliver power to the transmitter circuitry.
13 more elements
A controller device comprising:
- transmitter circuitry configured to:
- wirelessly transmit, in response to a first user input, a first signal to a register device, separate from the controller device, to cause the register device to adjust the positioning of one or more dampers of the register device to a first damper position;
- and
- wirelessly transmit, in response to a second user input, a second signal to the register device to cause the register device to adjust the positioning of the one or more dampers to a second damper position;
- and a power source configured to deliver power to the transmitter circuitry;
- wherein the controller device is further configured to, in response to a fourth user input, operate a light switch or an outlet within a room.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a controller device, comprising transmitter circuitry configured to:
- wirelessly transmit, in response to a first user input, a first signal to a register device, separate from the controller device, to cause the register device to adjust the positioning of one or more dampers of the register device to a first damper position;
- and
- wirelessly transmit, in response to a second user input, a second signal to the register device to cause the register device to adjust the positioning of the one or more dampers to a second damper position;
- and a power source configured to deliver power to the transmitter circuitry;
- wherein the controller device is further configured to, in response to a fourth user input, operate a light switch or an outlet within a room.
