    Abstract: A method of operating a dryer appliance includes directing a flow of hot dry air into a chamber defined within a drum of the dryer appliance. The method also includes receiving a signal indicative of an atmospheric condition external to the dryer appliance and determining whether the indicated atmospheric condition is less than a threshold. The method may further include directing a flow of air from the chamber to an interior space when the indicated atmospheric condition external to the dryer is less than the threshold, and activating a component of an environmental control system in communication with the interior space when the indicated atmospheric condition of the ambient environment external to the dryer is less than the threshold.

    Abstract: A clothes treating apparatus which controls a temperature of clothes and an operating time by executing an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm and/or a machine learning algorithm in a 5G environment connected for Internet of Things and an operating method of the clothes treating apparatus are provided. The clothes treating apparatus includes a communicator, a controller, a memory, a storage space, a temperature sensor, a temperature adjuster, and a fan. The communicator collects weather information and operation information of at least one connected device. Further, the communicator collects activity information or biometric information of the user from a portable terminal, a wearable device, or a vehicle. A user's preferred clothing temperature is derived by using clustering, deep learning, and reinforcement learning of the collected information, and the temperature of the clothes is adjusted based on the derived target temperature.

    Abstract: A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry according to an automatic cycle of operation includes a cabinet defining a cabinet interior. A drum is rotatable within the cabinet interior, and at least partially defines a treating chamber. The treating chamber has a treating chamber air inlet and a treating chamber air outlet. A drying air circuit is fluidly coupled to the treating chamber air inlet and to the treating chamber air outlet. The laundry treating appliance can include first and second air temperature sensors, at least a first humidity sensor, and a controller operably coupled with the sensors.
