  • Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing communications between climate control devices in a recreational vehicle
    Patent number: 10941955
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for enabling one or more climate control devices to communicate with a central control device of a recreational vehicle. Specifically, a gateway device is set forth for processing network signals from the control device and converting the network signals into command signals that can be transmitted to various climate control devices associated with the gateway device. For example, the control device can communicate with existing climate control devices according to a particular communication protocol that is not recognized by certain climate control devices. In order to allow the control device to communicate with those certain climate control devices, the gateway device can operate to translate the network signal into command signals that are recognizable, or otherwise able to be processed by, the certain climate control devices.
