Abstract: A method in accordance with the invention includes prompting a user to align a mobile device with a geometric feature (e.g., a window sill, corner, etc.) of a window. The method further determines a position and orientation of the window using sensors of the mobile device. Based on the position and orientation of the window, the method determines a position of the sun over time relative to the window. The method automatically adjusts a window covering of the window to take into account the position of the sun over time. For example, the method may automatically tilt slats of a window blind or open or close a window covering to take into account the position of the sun over time. A corresponding system is also disclosed herein.

Abstract: An apparatus in accordance with the invention includes a directional switching device configured to provide directional control along multiple axes (e.g., perpendicular axes). Directional control along a first axis enables selection of a current function from a plurality of functions. Similarly, directional control along a second axis increases or decreases an amount associated with the current function. In certain embodiments, an indicator, such as colored light, may indicate the current function of the directional switching device. Selection of a first function from the plurality of functions may enable the directional switching device to wirelessly control a first device, while selection of a second function from the plurality of functions may enable the directional switching device to wirelessly control a second device. A corresponding method is also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method for calibrating an automated window covering includes electromechanically actuating a window covering and measuring electrical current required to actuate the window covering. The method further measures movement of the window covering, where such movement includes one or more of a change in position and velocity of the window covering. The method estimates a size (e.g., height, width, area, etc.) of the window covering and/or an amount of force required to actuate the window covering based on the measured electrical current and movement. A corresponding apparatus is also disclosed herein.

Abstract: An apparatus in accordance with the invention includes a window covering actuation mechanism and a gearbox assembly configured to electromechanically operate the window covering actuation mechanism. A pull cord is configured to receive “cord gestures” from a user. These “cord gestures” may include one or more of pull sequences, pull durations, numbers of pulls, durations between pulls, and strength of pulls. In certain embodiments, “cord gestures” may also be defined by pull direction. A controller receives the cord gestures and translates the cord gestures into commands for controlling the gearbox assembly. A corresponding method is also disclosed herein.
