Abstract: A system that includes a plurality of controllers that are each controller is configured to operate at least a portion of a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. The system further includes a network provisioning device that is configured to establish a peer-to-peer connection with a controller. The controller is not associated with any wireless networks. The device is further configured to send a request to the controller to identify a wireless network that is associated with the local area network and is in range of the controller. The device is further configured to obtain network credentials for the identified wireless network and to send the network credentials to the controller to join the provisioned mesh network. The controller is configured to use the network credentials to join a provisioned mesh network.

Abstract: A system that includes a plurality of controllers that are each controller is configured to operate at least a portion of includes a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. The system further includes a gateway controller that is configured to determine a mesh network size for a local mesh network, to broadcast the mesh network size to other gateway controllers within a local area network, and to receive mesh network size information from the other gateway controllers. The gateway controller is further configured to compute an average mesh network size for the local area network and to determine that the mesh network size for the local mesh network is less than the average mesh network size for the local area network. The gateway controller is further configured to add one or more controllers to the local mesh network.

Abstract: An HVAC system includes one or more air quality sensors, each configured to measure an air quality and a thermostat communicatively coupled to the one or more air quality sensors. The thermostat receives indoor air quality measurements from the one or more air quality sensors. An indoor air quality score is determined based at least in part on the received indoor air quality measurements. The thermostat determines, based at least in part on the indoor air quality score, a mitigation action, wherein the mitigation action comprises one or more actions selected from the group of: (i) a filtering action comprising filtering air provided to the space using an air purification subsystem, and (ii) a ventilation action comprising ventilating the space using a ventilation subsystem. The mitigation action is executed, or implemented, by adjusting one or more components of the HVAC system.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a user instruction to initiate meshnet provisioning. The method also includes provisioning a first device to a meshnet, where the provisioning the first device yields first provisioning data that includes one or more keys. The method also includes provisioning a second device to the meshnet, where the provisioning the second device yields second provisioning data that includes include one or more keys. The method also includes transferring provisioning data that includes the first provisioning data and the second provisioning data to storage on the first device. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the method.
