Abstract: A faucet is provided that electronically controls the flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed. The faucet illustratively includes a faucet body and a faucet handle. In some embodiments, the faucet may include a faucet body and be voice controlled. The faucet illustratively includes an inertial motion unit sensor mounted in the faucet handle to sense spatial orientation of the faucet handle. The faucet illustratively includes an electronic flow control system to adjust flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed. The faucet illustratively includes a controller configured to receive signals from the inertial motion unit sensor and control the electronic flow control system to adjust flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed based upon the position of the faucet handle.

Abstract: Door sensor hardware is provided that automatically senses the orientation of a door. The door sensor hardware includes electronic circuitry and sensor(s). The sensor(s) determine a current orientation of a door (open, closed, ajar), recent movement, door swing speed, and door acceleration. The door sensor hardware is in communication with at least remote device. The remote device includes a user display to facilitate calibration of the door sensor hardware by a user. The remote device also provides the user with the door orientation as determined by the door sensor hardware.

Abstract: A kitchen faucet is provided that automatically fills a vessel up to a user-specified level without regard to a specific volume. The faucet illustratively includes a faucet body and a spray head that can be detached from the faucet body, such as a pull-down or pull-out faucet. The faucet illustratively includes a user interface for setting the level at which to fill the vessel (e.g., 20%, 40%, 75%, etc.). The spray head illustratively includes sensor(s) to determine a water level in the vessel in relation to its top edge. This allows a vessel to be filled to a user-specified level regardless of the vessel shape or size.

Abstract: A method for detecting a handed configuration of a door includes providing an electronic lock, which includes a latch assembly that includes a bolt movable between an extended position and a retracted position and a motor that is configured to drive the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position. The latch assembly includes a control circuit for controlling the motor to selectively move the bolt, at least one sensor in electrical communication with the control circuit, and at least one orientation indicator. The method includes detecting the presence of the at least one the orientation indicator and identifying a handed configuration based on the detection by the at least one sensor. The method includes driving, by the control circuit, the motor based on the identified handed configuration. The control circuit identifies the handed configuration without moving the bolt between the extended position and the retracted position.

Abstract: A sensor assembly includes a sensor located within an opening formed in a strike box of the strike assembly. The sensor, which could be an optical, mechanical, continuity, inductive, ultrasonic, and/or mechanical sensor, is configured to detect whether the bolt of the bolt assembly is encompassed by the strike box. The sensor assembly is configured to interact with a surface of the bolt when the bolt is located within the opening.
