Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for managing environmental conditions and energy usage associated with a site. One exemplary method of regulating an environment condition at a site involves a server receiving environmental measurement data from a monitoring system at the site via a network, determining an action for an electrical appliance at the site based at least in part on the environmental measurement data and one or more monitoring rules associated with the site, and providing an indication of the action to an actuator for the electrical appliance.
Claims20
A method of regulating a condition at a site by a server coupled to a network, the method comprising:
- storing one or more rules in a database in association with the site;
- receiving, by the server via the network, measurement data from a first device at the site;
- determining, by the server, an action for the site based at least in part on the measurement data and the one or more rules associated with the site;
- and
- providing an indication of the action to a second device at the site.
A system comprising:
- a database maintaining an association between at a site and one or more rules for the site;
- and
- a server coupled to the database and a network to receive measurement data from a first device at the site via the network, obtain the one or more rules from the database, determine an action for modifying a condition at the site based at least in part on comparing the measurement data to the one or more rules, and provide indication of the action to a second device at the site via the network.
A computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system communicatively coupled to a network, cause the processing system to:
- store one or more rules in a database in association with a site;
- determine an action for modifying a condition at the site based at least in part on measurement data received from the site via the network and the one or more rules associated with the site;
- and
- provide an indication of the action to a device at the site.
