Abstract: A humidifier device includes one or more sensors configured to sense one or more air properties of air within a duct operably coupled to the humidifier device. The humidifier also includes control circuitry configured to receive an indication of the one or more air properties of the air, determine a water absorption capability of the air based at least in part on the one or more air properties of the air, and determine an amount of moisture to be outputted by the humidifier device to the duct based at least in part on the water absorption capability of the air. The humidifier also includes an atomizer configured to output the determined amount of moisture to the duct.

Abstract: A power transformation system having a power stealing mode for powering a device indirectly through an electrical load connected to a power source and also has a characterization mode. The transfer of energy from the power source via the load may go undetected. The system may store energy from the load in an ultra or super capacitor. This energy may be used to power Wi-Fi and various thermostat applications, among other things, associated with HVAC and building automation and management systems. Energy from the load may be supplemented or substituted with energy from a battery and/or a buck converter. In the characterization mode, the system may obtain data relative to power usage of a load and determine a profile to identify one or more components and their operating conditions.
