Abstract: A system and method for intelligent operation and control of ductless HVAC devices in a manner similar to existing intelligent operation and control of central HVAC systems. In an embodiment, the system and method comprise using a smart thermostat to separately monitor the room temperature of a room in which a ductless HVAC device is installed, wherein the smart thermostat overrides the standard operation of the HVAC device by setting and re-setting the target temperature of the ductless HVAC device to force it to operate according to settings and algorithms of the smart thermostat which mimic the smart controls available on central HVAC systems.

Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligent operation and control of primitive infrared (IR) controlled devices and appliances that requires little or no modification of existing devices and appliances or their controllers. Systems and methods for converting conventional infrared (IR) remote controls of primitive infrared (IR) controlled devices and appliances to networked and smart remote controls are described which enable the upgraded smart remote control to act as a smart controller for ductless HVAC appliances, flat-screen televisions, media players such as DVD and Blu-ray disc players, and other primitive infrared (IR) controlled devices. The technology presented enables one or multiple users to control, monitor, and manage their primitive infrared (IR) controlled devices and appliances smartly using a custom smartphone application linked to the upgraded smart thermostat remote.

Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligent operation and control of primitive IR-controlled devices and appliances that requires little or no modification of existing devices and appliances or their controllers, but allows for intelligent operation any number of these devices either directly or remotely through a computing device. Systems and methods for converting conventional infrared (IR) remote controls of primitive IR-controlled devices and appliances to networked and smart remote controls are described which enable the upgraded smart remote control to act as a smart controller for ductless HVAC appliances (mini split units, window heating and cooling units, and portable heating and cooling units), flat-screen televisions, media players such as DVD and Blu-ray disc players, and other primitive IR-controlled devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods for remotely controlling infrared (“IR”) enabled appliances via a networked device are described. The technology enables one or multiple users to control, monitor, and manage their appliances (e.g., air conditioners, television sets, multimedia systems, window curtains, etc.) both locally and remotely, irrespective of the users' location or their line of sight. In various embodiments, the technology includes a device with integrated Wi-Fi and IR subsystems connected via a cloud platform to a user application interface that can control appliances, generate analytics, schedule automatic operation, and perform smart learning operation.

Abstract: A smart electrical switch with energy measurement and control capabilities is described herein. The smart electrical switch enables a user to control, monitor and manage their appliances and their energy consumption both locally and remotely by taking advantage of an onboard integrated Wi-Fi and implemented algorithms. The user can send control commands to the smart electrical switch via an application installed on a portable electronic device or web application accessed via an Internet browser. The smart electrical switch connects to already deployed Wi-Fi router at a user location to use it as a bridge to communicate between the user, cloud and itself. Consequently; it eliminates the need of any additional hub or concentrator which is a primary requirement in ZigBee, Z-Wave or similar technology. The onboard power management unit ensures optimal use of power by the device.
