Abstract
This document describes systems, methods, devices, and other techniques used for determining humidity properties of a microclimate of a bed system. One aspect is A bed system comprising a mattress, at least one temperature sensor, and a controller configured to receiving signals from the at least one temperature sensor indicating a detected temperature of a microclimate of the bed system and determine humidity properties of the microclimate of the bed system based at least in part on the detected temperature.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a bed having a mattress;
- at least one temperature sensor configured to:
- detect a temperature of a microclimate of the bed;
- and
- transmit signals indicating the detected temperature of the microclimate of the bed to a controller;
- and
- the controller including at least one processor and memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor cause the controller to:
- determine that a user is present in the bed;
- receive the signals transmitted from the at least one temperature sensor indicating the detected temperature of the microclimate of the bed;
- in response to receiving the signals and determining that the user is present in the bed, calculate humidity properties of the microclimate of the bed based on the detected temperature of the microclimate;
- and
- adjust the system based on the calculated humidity properties of the microclimate of the bed.
