Abstract
A first input associated with an audio input from within a physical environment and an indication that a manual input device has been moved to a first operative position of the manual input device is received. The first input is mapped to a building automation control context. A controlled subsystem is caused to be operated in a manner associated with the first operative position and the building automation control context.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a microphone configured to receive audio input from within a physical environment in which the device is located and provide an electrical output representative of said audio input;
- and
- a manual input device having at least a neutral position and a first operative position;
- wherein the microphone output is coupled to a processor configured to:
- determine a building automation control context based at least in part on a natural language analysis of the microphone output;
- display a color on the device representing the determined building automation control context;
- and
- receive an indication that the manual input device has been moved to the first operative position and to subsequently cause a controlled subsystem to be operated in a manner associated with the first operative position and the determined building automation control context.

A system, comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive a first input associated with an audio input from within a physical environment and an indication that a manual input device has been moved to a first operative position of the manual input device;
- and
- a processor coupled to the communication interface and configured to:
- determine a building automation control context based at least in part on a natural language analysis of the first input;
- display a color representing the determined building automation control context;
- and
- subsequently cause a controlled subsystem to be operated in a manner associated with the first operative position and the determined building automation control context.
