Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods of a novel framework for automatically and dynamically recommending exit routes within/from a location during an emergency. In some embodiments, the framework can additionally, or in the alternative, provide first responders audible and/or visible indicators as to the current location and/or direction of individuals within a location. The disclosed framework, therefore, can analyze collected sensor information from a location, inclusive of smoke detector triggers and current positioning of people/pets within a location, and compile a dynamically updateable set of instructions for which such sensors can audibly and/or visibly output instructions for such people to escape to safety.

Abstract: A control system for a building includes a controller configured to control a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system configured to condition a space within the building. An electronic device is configured to be in electronic communication with the controller and provides a first output to the controller that corresponds to a first state of the electronic device. The electronic device provides a second output to the controller that corresponds to a second state of the electronic device. In response to receiving one of the first output or the second output, the controller is configured to change a state of the HVAC system from a first state to a second state. In response to receiving the other of the first output or the second output, the controller is configured to change the state of the HVAC system from the second state to a third state.

Abstract: An apparatus for communication with a plurality of devices using time divisional multiple access (TDMA) is described. The apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to for a particular duration, scan a first channel for one or more data packets being transmitted over the first channel to determine if the apparatus is experiencing signal interference. In response to determining that the apparatus is not experiencing signal interference, the processing circuitry is configured to output a first beacon at a first time using TDMA, wherein the first time is a predefined interval amount of time after an output time of a most recent beacon previously output by the apparatus. Otherwise, the processing circuitry is configured to output the first beacon at a second time using TDMA, wherein the second time comprises the first time plus-or-minus a time shift period.

Abstract: A building monitoring system includes a first sensor configured to detect a first condition in the space, a second sensor configured to detect a second condition in the space, and a robotic sentinel. The robotic sentinel includes a memory for storing one or more rules each configured to identify an alert condition for the space based on the first and/or second conditions in the space, a communications module configured to communicate with a remote device over a network, and a controller operatively coupled to the sensors, the memory, and the communications module. The controller is configured to apply the one or more rules to the first and second detected conditions in the space to identify one or more alert conditions and determine what action is required by the robotic sentinel, and if action is required, command the robotic sentinel to travel to a location of the alert condition.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that provide a novel thermostat system, which involves a hybrid line volt two-way thermostat configured with triode for alternating current (TRIAC) and relay components. The configuration and operational benefits of each thermostat type can be leveraged by the disclosed hybrid thermostat, which can provide a silent, efficiently operated thermostat system. Such system provides a resource efficient heating, ventilation and cooling control system that can reduce power consumption and thereby reduce costs, while maintaining a streamlined, operationally accurate framework for monitoring and managing the climate of a location (e.g., building, home, office, and the like).

Abstract: A damper system is configured for installation in ductwork including a duct supplying conditioned air through a register boot to a register vent. A damper is movable between a closed position and an open position. A control module includes a control module housing, a controller, a power supply and a transceiver. The controller monitors a remaining energy level of the power supply and transmits a first low battery message via the transceiver when the remaining energy level drops to a first energy threshold. The controller instructs the damper assembly to move to a predetermined position and to transmit a second low battery message via the transceiver when the remaining energy level drops to a second energy threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying user-customized relevant individuals in an ambient image at a doorbell device are provided. Such systems and methods can include receiving user input that includes image information, using the image information to compile a custom image database containing a plurality of images that depict such relevant individuals, and storing the custom image database in local memory of the doorbell device. Then, such systems and methods can include capturing an ambient image with a camera of the doorbell device, determining whether any person depicted in the ambient image matches any of the relevant individuals by comparing the ambient image to the plurality of images at the doorbell device, and generating an alert when any person depicted in the ambient image matches any of the relevant individuals.

Abstract: A water heater control system comprising a temperature sensor, an anode rod, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of a temperature from the temperature sensor and apply a voltage and/or current to the anode rod. A mounting bracket mates with a spud of a water heater and provides a conduit space for conductors providing connectivity among the controller, temperature sensor, and anode rod. The mounting bracket may provide mechanical support for the anode rod and the temperature sensor. The mounting bracket may comprise a housing mechanically supporting and surrounding the controller.
