Patent number: 10304321Abstract: A self-configuring sensor and method of operation of the sensor is described. In one embodiment, the self-configuring sensor comprises a first sub-sensor for determining a first status of a door or window, a second sub-sensor for determining a second status of the door or window, a wireless transmitter, a memory for storing processor-executable instructions, and a processor coupled to the first sub-sensor, the second sub-sensor, the wireless transmitter and the memory for executing the processor-executable instructions that cause the sensor to monitor the first and second sub-sensors for detecting changes in a first sub-sensor state and a second sub-sensor state, respectively, and determine an installation configuration based on the changes in the first sub-sensor state and the second sub-sensor state, the installation configuration comprising a type of hardware where the self-configuring sensor has been installed.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: ECOLINK INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Howard Anderson, Todd Bernhagen, Andrew Permenter, Carlo Q. Petrucci

Patent number: 9786139Abstract: A programmable barrier alarm includes a sensor, such as a magnetic field detector, for sensing a magnetic field produced by the magnet and for producing an electronic signal associated with the magnetic field, a processor, and, a memory for storing an alarm threshold value and processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the sensor to, in a calibration mode of operation, calculate the alarm threshold value based on a first magnetic field sensed by the magnetic field detector when the barrier is in the closed position, and in a normal mode of operation, compare the electronic signal from the magnetic field detector to the alarm threshold value, and generate an alarm signal if the electronic signal falls below the alarm threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2016Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Ecolink Intelligent Technology, Inc.Inventors: Michael Lamb, Michael Bailey, Jay Stone, George Seelman, Carlo Q.
