Abstract
In some examples, a wireless controller is utilized within a wireless mesh network. The wireless controller includes a control module configured to manage at least one energy device via a pneumatic pressure line based on one or more parts of an energy profile; and a network interface module configured to transmit energy data to a management server and receive the one or more parts of the energy profile from the management server.
Claims25
A pneumatic thermostat, comprising:
- a control module configured to manage at least one energy device based on one or more parts of an energy profile, the at least one energy device being controlled via a pneumatic pressure line;
- a sensor configured to actively measure a pressure in the pneumatic pressure line;
- and
- a solid-state valve configured to control the pressure in the pneumatic pressure line based on the active measurements of the pressure and the management of the at least one energy device.
A wireless controller, comprising:
- a control module configured to manage at least one energy device via a pneumatic pressure line based on one or more parts of an energy profile;
- and
- a network interface module configured to transmit energy data to a management server and receive the one or more parts of the energy profile from the management server.
A method for determining network health of a wireless mesh network, the method comprising:
- identifying a wireless device in the wireless mesh network;
- determining an actual number of data packets associated with the wireless device for a specified time period;
- determining an expected number of data packets associated with the wireless device for the specified time period;
- and
- generating a network health status based on the actual number of data packets and the expected number of data packets.
A method for controlling a wireless thermostat, comprising:
- managing at least one energy device via a pneumatic pressure line based on one or more parts of an energy profile;
- transmitting energy data to a management server;
- and
- receiving the one or more parts of the energy profile from the management server.
