Abstract
A wireless event status communication system, device and method are disclosed. In one form, a wireless enabled notification system includes a wireless informer operably associated with an environmental element having more than one operating state and operable to determine a current operating state of the environmental element and to communicate the current operating state via a wireless communication module. The system further includes a remote status notification device operable to receive the communication including the current operating state. The remote status notification device including a processor operable to determine a last current operating state when the remote status notification device is out of range of the wireless informer.
Claims20
A wireless enabled notification system comprising:
- a wireless informer operably associated with an environmental element having more than one operating state, the wireless informer operable to determine a current operating state of the environmental element and to communicate the current operating state via a wireless communication module;
- and
- a remote status notification device operable to receive the communication including the current operating state, the remote status notification device including a processor operable to determine a last current operating state when the remote status notification device is out of range of the wireless informer.
A method for communicating an operating state of a multiple state operating device comprising:
- determining an operating state of a multiple state environmental element;
- associating the operating state with an identifier operably associated with a remote status notification device and an informer;
- communicating the identifier and the current operating state to the remote status notification device;
- receiving the communication using the remote status notification device;
- detecting when the remote status notification device is out of range of the informer;
- and
- determining the last operating state received by the remote status notification device.
A wireless enabled communication status notification system comprising:
- an automatic garage door opener system including a sensor operable to provide a current operating state, the automatic garage door opener system including an informer operable to communicate the current operating state;
- and
- a remote control device operable to receive a series of communication signals communicated by the automatic garage door opener system, the signals including references to the current operating state of the automatic garage door opener system, the remote control device further including a processor operable to determine a last operating state when the remote control device is out of range of the informer.
