摘要: An intelligent circuit breaker is electrically capable of dimming a load using sine wave dimming and forward or reverse cut-phase dimming. The intelligent circuit breaker may include low on resistance transistors switching at a 100 kHZ or higher using pulse width modulation to achieve the sine wave dimming while filtering out the high frequency switching and allowing a line frequency pass through. The intelligent circuit breaker may include a wireless module for receiving one or commands to perform power dimming of the load. The intelligent circuit breaker may advantageously be constructed in a form factor which is compatible with standard circuit breaker panels.

摘要: A group of homes, businesses, or other electric power consuming premises are aggregated and commonly controlled to dynamically reduce loads in sufficient quantities, and with sufficient rapidity and duration, to participate as a market participant in the energy markets including participating as a peaking power plant. While the amount of reduced power consumption for a single premises is typically quite small, the total reduced consumption of an aggregation of just a few thousand homes or businesses may be on the order of hundreds of kilowatts. A premises power controller in conjunction with intelligent circuit breakers, which may include dimmers, enable dynamic management of individual loads in each premises.

摘要: An intelligent circuit breaker electrically is capable of being actuated and interfacing with a conventional circuit breaker. The intelligent circuit breaker includes a wireless transceiver for communicating with other intelligent circuit breakers, a breaker controller, memory, and a display. The memory may be used to temporarily store data of interest regarding the intelligent circuit breaker's status, power consumption, operating history, and the like. The intelligent circuit breaker may advantageously be constructed in a form factor which is compatible with standard circuit breaker panels.

摘要: An energy management system interoperates with an automation system to provide integrated control over essentially all power-consuming, power-generating, and power storage devices in a home or other environment. The energy management system provides configurable energy management scenes in which one or more values, each representing a desired operating condition, are associated with some or all of the loads of a home, business or other environment. Different energy management scenes may be configured for different environmental conditions including season, day of week, time of day, grid status, battery condition, and generator condition among others.

摘要: In one embodiment, a smart light switch/thermostat is provided for deployment in rooms of a multi-room property (e.g., hotel) that is capable of monitoring and controlling in-room devices (e.g., climate control devices, lighting devices, A/V devices, etc.), as well as improving power optimization and reducing latency of certain battery-powered WPAN devices. The smart light switch/thermostat may be an in-wall device mounted in an electrical box (e.g., a 1-gang box) that maintains network connections (e.g., wired, WPAN and/or WLAN connections) to in-room devices being controlled and monitored, as well as to mobile guest devices and a central host controller that provides access to cloud control services. The smart light switch/thermostat may improve power optimization and reducing latency of certain battery-powered WPAN devices (e.g., BLE door locks) by operating as an agent for the room, opening a connection with a battery-powered WPAN device using a long negotiated connection interval, while sending send connectable advertising transmissions at a very short advertising interval.
