Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using temperature data collected by wearable remote temperature sensor to augment temperature monitoring and adjustment by a temperature regulating device within a property and thereby improving user comfort. In some implementations, a determination that a user is located within a property is made. A current body temperature of the user measured by a temperature sensor worn by the user is obtained. A reference body temperature of the user indicated by historical temperature data collected for the user is obtained. As determination to adjust to a set point temperature of a temperature regulating device located within the property is made. An instruction is then provided for out to the temperature regulating device that, when received, causes the temperature regulating device to adjust the set point temperature of the temperature regulating device in accordance with the determined adjustment.

Dependent claims

A method performed by a system comprising one or more computers using one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that cause the one or more computers to perform operations, the method comprising:

obtaining, by the system and for controlling operations of a thermostat coupled to a heating ventilation and air conditioning system for a property, data indicating (i) a body temperature of a person presently located within the property and (ii) a target body temperature of the person;
determining whether there is a temperature difference between the body temperature and the target body temperature;
in response to determining that there is a temperature difference between the body temperature and the target body temperature, determining to adjust a set point for the thermostat using the body temperature and the target body temperature;
and
providing, to the thermostat at the property, an instruction that causes the thermostat to change a set point temperature for the property and control the heating ventilation and air conditioning system using the changed set point temperature.
