Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure include techniques for improving the functionality and operation of a sauna. In one embodiment, a sauna includes an automated warm up mode. Some embodiments may include lowering EMF in a sauna, configuring a sauna over a network, wirelessly controlling and configuring a sauna, as well as a Sauna Cloud system for managing and operating many saunas at potentially many different locations. Some embodiments may include some or all of a fan, heater, temperature sensor, and/or CO2 control, for example. In some embodiments, a sauna monitors a human body in the sauna and adjusts settings of the sauna to improve the health of the user.
Claims19
A method of controlling a sauna comprising:
- receiving, in a controller circuit configured to control said sauna, a first initiation signal;
- in response to the first initiation signal, configuring the sauna in a warm up mode;
- increasing a temperature inside the sauna;
- detecting a first predefined temperature inside the sauna;
- in response to detecting the first predefined temperature, maintaining the first predefined temperature;
- receiving, in the controller circuit, a second initiation signal;
- and
- in response to receiving the second initiation signal, increasing the temperature inside the sauna and maintaining the temperature inside the sauna at or below a second predefined temperature,
- after the second initiation signal, disabling a plurality of electronic circuits in the sauna to reduce electromagnetic radiation inside the sauna.
A method of controlling a sauna comprising:
- receiving, in a controller circuit configured to control said sauna, a first initiation signal;
- in response to the first initiation signal, configuring the sauna in a warm up mode;
- increasing a temperature inside the sauna;
- detecting a first predefined temperature inside the sauna;
- in response to detecting the first predefined temperature, maintaining the first predefined temperature;
- receiving, in the controller circuit, a second initiation signal;
- and
- in response to receiving the second initiation signal, increasing the temperature inside the sauna and maintaining the temperature inside the sauna at or below a second predefined temperature,
- wherein:
- during a first time period after the first initiation signal and before detecting the first predefined temperature inside the sauna, generating a first signal indicating a first warm up mode of operation;
- upon detecting the first predefined temperature inside the sauna, generating a second signal indicating completion of the warm up mode.
A sauna comprising:
- a controller circuit configured to control said sauna;
- a plurality of heaters;
- one or more temperature sensors;
- and
- a plurality of electronic circuits,
- wherein:
- a first initiation signal is received in the controller circuit;
- in response to the first initiation signal,
- the controller circuit configures the sauna in a warm up mode;
- the controller circuit configures the plurality of heaters to increase a temperature inside the sauna;
- and
- the temperature detectors, after a first time period, detect a first predefined temperature inside the sauna;
- in response to detecting the first predefined temperature, the controller circuit configures the plurality of heaters to maintain the first temperature;
- after a second time period, the controller circuit receives a second initiation signal;
- in response to receiving the second initiation signal, increasing the temperature inside the sauna above the first predefined temperature and not to exceed a second temperature greater than the first predefined temperature,
- after the second initiation signal, disabling a plurality of electronic circuits in the sauna to reduce electromagnetic radiation inside the sauna.
