Abstract: A system can include a non-light-emitting, variable transmission device a controller coupled and configured to provide power to the first non-light-emitting, variable transmission device; and a router configured to provide power and control signals to the first controller. In an aspect, the controller includes a first connector; the router includes a second connector; and a cable including a third connector and a fourth connector at different ends of the cable. The first and third connectors are coupled to each other, and the second and fourth connectors are coupled to each other. In another aspect, the system can include other non-light-emitting, variable transmission devices, and controllers. The system can be configured to perform a method of controlling the system that includes determining power requirements for the controllers and allocating power to the controllers corresponding to the power requirements.

Abstract: A system for providing power can include one or more non-light emitting, variable transmission devices, a power device, and one or more class 2 certified controllers, where the power device is configured to provide up to 500 Watts of power to the one or more controllers, and where the controller is configured to provide at most 24 V·A to the one or more non-light emitting, variable transmission devices.

Abstract: A control system for controlling electrochromic devices can include one or more non-light emitting, variable transmission devices and a control management device, where the control management device includes a touch-panel platform and a logic element configured to map one or more operational parameters of the one or more non-light emitting, variable transmission devices, integrate the mapped one or more operational parameters into the touch panel platform, and send one or more signals to the one or more non-light emitting, variable transmission devices in response to input received from the touch panel control platform.
