    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: 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.
