摘要: Apparatus, systems, methods, and related computer program products for managing demand-response programs and events. The systems disclosed include an energy management system in operation with an intelligent, network-connected thermostat located at a structure. The thermostat acquires various information about the residence, such as a thermal retention characteristic of the residence, a capacity of an HVAC associated with the residence to cool or heat the residence, a likelihood of the residence being occupied, a forecasted weather, a real-time weather, and a real-time occupancy. Such information is used to manage the energy consumption of the structure during a demand-response event.

摘要: Inter alia, a hazard detector is disclosed. The hazard detector comprises at least one hazard detection sensor that detects a presence of at least one type of hazard; a motion detection sensor that detects motion in an ambient environment of the hazard detector; a speaker; a light that comprises multiple lighting elements; and a processing system provided in operative communication with the at least one hazard detection sensor, the motion detection sensor, and the light. The processing system is configured to select an illumination state from a plurality of illumination states, wherein each illumination state of the plurality of illumination states is assigned to a status associated with the hazard detector. The processing system is configured to cause the light to illuminate based on the selected illumination state of the plurality of illumination states. The processing system is configured to determine a gesture has been performed based on analyzing motion detected by the motion detection sensor in the ambient environment of the hazard detector following the light being illuminated based on the selected illumination state. The processing system is configured to output a detail of the status via the speaker corresponding to the illumination state in response to determining the gesture has been performed. Also disclosed is a method for a hazard detector to output a status detail.

摘要: Embodiments provided herein relate to controlling a household via one or more household policies. In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving, at a processor, a household policy for a household, the household policy related to attaining an end goal; determining, via interpretation of the household policy by the processor, an end goal state of the household policy; incrementally modifying a control trigger threshold of a conditionally controlled smart device over time until the end goal state is reached; wherein the control trigger threshold indicates when the conditionally controlled smart device should be controlled to implement a particular function.

摘要: A climate control system comprises a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, HVAC, unit (3502) that provides heating and/or cooling for an enclosure (201), wherein the HVAC unit (3502) is positioned at a first location in the enclosure (201). The HVAC unit further comprises an intermediate box (3504) comprising a first wireless communication module, a plurality of control wires (3510) coupled to the HVAC unit (3502) for controlling the HVAC unit (3502), and circuitry to convert commands received through the first wireless communication module to control signals on the plurality of control wires. The HVAC unit further comprises a thermostat (3506) positioned at a second location in the enclosure (201) that is substantially apart from the first location, the thermostat (3506) comprising one or more memories storing a preexisting set point schedule, a second wireless communication module in communication with the first wireless communication module of the intermediate box, an occupancy sensor, a temperature sensor, and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to control a temperature within the enclosure according to a first set point from the preexisting set point schedule that corresponds to a temperature for when the enclosure is occupied, and, upon expiration of a predetermined time interval during which no occupancy has been detected by the occupancy sensor, automatically change the first set point to a second set point, wherein a temperature corresponding to the second set point requires less energy to maintain than a temperature corresponding to the first set point, and, after changing to the second set point, change the second setpoint back to a set point from the preexisting set point schedule after detecting a threshold amount of occupancy activity in two adjacent time windows.

摘要: Apparatus, systems, methods, and related computer program products for carrying out a demand response (DR) event via an intelligent, network-connected thermostat associated with a structure. The systems disclosed include an energy management system in operation with an intelligent, network-connected thermostat located at a structure. The thermostat is operable to control an HVAC system. Control during a DR event period may be performed based on an optimal control trajectory of the HVAC system, where the control trajectory is optimal in that it minimizes a cost function comprising a combination of a first factor representative of a total energy consumption during the DR event period, a second factor representative of a metric of occupant discomfort, and a third factor representative of deviations of a rate of energy consumption over the DR event period.

摘要: A thermostat device may include a processing system configured to learn a heating schedule at a first location according to an automated schedule learning algorithm that processes inputs including user inputs and occupancy sensing inputs and derives schedule-affecting parameters therefrom that are processed to compute the heating schedule. The processing system may also be configured to determine whether the thermostat has been moved to a new location, and if it is determined that the thermostat has been moved to the new location, then determine one or more parameters associated with the new location and establish a new heating schedule for the new location, and where zero or more of the previously measured schedule-affecting parameters are re-used based on the one or more parameters associated with the new location.

摘要: A user-friendly programmable thermostat is described that includes receiving an immediate-control input to change set point temperature, controlling temperature according to the set point temperature for a predetermined time interval, and then automatically resetting the set point temperature upon the ending of the predetermined time interval such that the user is urged to make further immediate-control inputs. A schedule for the programmable thermostat is automatically generated based on the immediate-control inputs. Methods are also described for receiving user input relating to the user's preference regarding automatically generating a schedule, and determining whether or not to automatically adopt an automatically generated schedule based on the received user input.

摘要: The current application is directed to intelligent controllers that continuously, periodically, or intermittently monitor progress towards one or more control goals under one or more constraints in order to achieve control that satisfies potentially conflicting goals. An intelligent controller may alter aspects of control, dynamically, while the control is being carried out, in order to ensure that goals are obtained and a balance is achieved between potentially conflicting goals. The intelligent controller uses various types of information to determine an initial control strategy as well as to dynamically adjust the control strategy as the control is being carried out.
