Abstract: Several embodiments include a cooking instrument. The cooking instrument can include a heating system. The heating system can include one or more heating elements capable of emitting wireless energy into the cooking chamber. The cooking instrument can also include a sensor and a control system. The control system can be configured to execute a heating process and determine a stage of the heating process based on sensor data from the sensor.

Abstract: Several embodiments include a cooking instrument. The cooking instrument can include a heating system. The heating system can include one or more heating elements capable of emitting wireless energy into the cooking chamber. The sensor can be positioned, configured, or shaped such that air within the cooking chamber flows over the sensor. The sensor can be adapted to detect particles given off by food under heat. The cooking instrument can also include a sensor and a control system. The control system can be configured to execute a heating process and determine a stage of the heating process based on sensor data from the sensor.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for an adapter that can convert building communication and high-voltage electrical systems to a low-voltage connection, communication, and power bus. The adapter can connect to and continuously power home and building electrical devices. The adapter can continuously monitor an environment using a plurality of sensors. The adapter can record one or more sensor measurements and make the measurements available to a user through a server-based platform over radio frequency communication. The adapter can be controlled and control connected devices through commands sent through radio frequency communication.

Abstract: The device described herein monitors air quality continuously using a plurality of sensors. The device continuously records the sensor measurements and makes the measurements available to a user though a server based platform. The device further analyzes the sensor data to detect hazards and uses the plurality of sensor measurements to further characterize the hazards and to decrease instances of false alarms.
