Control systems for centralized appliance hubs and related devices and methods

Abstract

The present technology is generally directed to control systems for centralized appliance hubs and related devices, systems, and methods. In some embodiments, an appliance hub includes an onboard controller and one or more functional components. The onboard controller can be operably coupled to individual ones of the functional components, and can receive instructions for controlling individual ones of the functional components. In some embodiments, a plurality of the appliance hubs are mounted to a ceiling or otherwise arranged within an enclosure to form an appliance hub system. In some embodiments, the onboard controllers of multiple appliance hubs can be communicatively coupled to a system controller that can send instructions to the onboard controllers of one or more of the appliance hubs to individually control operation of the onboard lighting, HVAC, sensors, and/or other functional components carried by the appliance hubs.
