Abstract: An electronic device has memory, one or more processors, a speaker, and a microphone. The device sends a first set of ultrasound chirps at a first rate via the speaker. It receives, via the microphone, a first set of signals corresponding to the first set of ultrasound chirps and being reflected from a person. The device determines based on the first set of signals that the person is in proximity to the electronic device. In accordance with the determination that the person is in proximity to the electronic device, the device sends a second set of ultrasound chirps at a second rate, faster than the first rate. It receives, via the microphone, a second set of signals corresponding to the second set of ultrasound chirps, and identifies a gesture from the person based on the second set of signals.

Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods, devices, and systems for determining locations of an electronic device. In one aspect, a method is performed at a computing system having one or more processors and memory. The method includes obtaining device identification information for the electronic device; broadcasting a request based on the device identification information that the electronic device be enabled to transmit or reflect location information using a radar technique; receiving a signal from the electronic device, the signal indicating a location of the electronic device using a radar technique; and determining the location of the electronic device based on the received signal.

Abstract: A smart-home device may include a main power rail that provides power to components of the smart-home device; an integrator coupled to the main power rail that stores energy on an energy-storage device, where the energy stored on the energy-storage device is representative of an amount an amount of power provided to the smart-home device through the main power rail during an integration cycle of the integrator; and a counter that stores a number of integration cycles performed by the integrator during a time interval, where a total amount of power provided to the smart-home device through the main power rail during the time interval is represented by: (1) the number of integration cycles performed by the integrator during the time interval; and (2) the energy stored on the energy-storage device.

Abstract: An electronic device is located in a room. The device has a casing, a first processor coupled to a radar transceiver, a second processor coupled to a motion sensor, and memory. Using the second processor, the device determines using signals from the motion sensor whether an object is in proximity. In accordance with a determination that the object is in proximity, the device wakes up the first processor. Using the first processor, the device enables operation of the radar transceiver. It determines using signals from the radar transceiver whether the object is in contact with the casing. In accordance with a determination that the object is in contact with the casing, the device identifies an input command based on at least one of: a location of the object, and a movement of the object, and adjusts operation based on the input command.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating water conservation and smart water control are provided. Water conservation and smart water control can be achieved using a smart water apparatus having the ability to approximate distance, mass, and/or specific characteristics of an object such as a human or inanimate object and adjust flow rate of water and/or temperature of the water based on the approximated distance, mass, and/or specific characteristics of an object. The smart water apparatus can be embodied, for example, in a network connected shower head or a network connected faucet.
