Claims19
A ceiling fan for a space, the ceiling fan comprising:
- a first communication interface configured to provide communications between the ceiling fan and a plurality of peripheral devices over a local network;
- a second communication interface configured to provide communications between the ceiling fan and an external network;
- and
- one or more control devices configured to provide one or more control signals to control operation of one or more of the peripheral devices.
A method for controlling conditions within a space using a system comprising a ceiling fan and a plurality of peripheral devices, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by one or more control devices of the ceiling fan, data indicative of a mood of a user within the space;
- determining, by the one or more control devices, a mood profile for the space based, at least in part, on the data indicative of the mood of the user within the space;
- and
- providing, by the one or more control devices, one or more control signals to control operation of one or more of the peripheral devices of the system according to the mood profile.
