Abstract
One embodiment can provide a home-automation system. The home-automation device can include a mechanical supporting structure and a plurality of components mechanically coupled to the mechanical supporting structure. The plurality of components can include a central controller, one or more printed circuit boards (PCBs), and a plurality of sensors mounted on the one or more PCBs. The central controller can be configured to detect a user event based on output from multiple sensors, with each sensor being configured to sense parameters in a different physical domain.
Claims20
A home-automation system, comprising:
- a mechanical supporting structure;
- and
- a plurality of components mechanically coupled to the mechanical supporting structure;
- wherein the plurality of components comprise a central controller, one or more printed circuit boards (PCBs), and a plurality of sensors mounted on the one or more PCBs;
- and
- wherein the central controller is configured to detect a user event based on output from multiple sensors, each sensor configured to sense parameters in a different physical domain.
A home-automation system, comprising:
- a wall-mounted controller;
- and
- one or more home appliances controlled by the wall-mounted controller;
- wherein the wall-mounted controller comprises:
- a central controller, one or more printed circuit boards (PCBs), and a plurality of sensors mounted on the one or more PCBs;
- and
- wherein the central controller is configured to detect a user event based on output from multiple sensors, each sensor configured to sense parameters in a different physical domain.
A computer-executive method for home-automation, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a central controller, sensor data from multiple sensors mounted onto one or more printed circuit boards (PCBs), wherein the central controller and the PCBs are mechanically coupled to a mechanical supporting structure, and wherein each sensor is configured to sense parameters in a different physical domain;
- and
- detecting a user event based on the received sensor data from the multiple sensors.
