  • Patent number: 9210220
    Abstract: Monitoring and control of electromechanical devices from a central data center. The data center may be located at a separate geographic location, using broadband communication channels, such as Internet or telecom channels, and wireless HAN (home area network) communications. Such electromechanical devices may comprise, for example, an HVAC system at a small-business or residential site, a grounds-maintenance sprinkler system, or a small wind or solar energy generation and storage station.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2009
    Date of Patent: December 8, 2015
    Inventors: Andrew Steckley, Daniel R. Russell, Steven D. Baker
  • Publication number: 20140358308
    Abstract: Systems for intelligent automated response to line frequency and voltage disturbances by a central control point communication with a plurality of load control devices. The systems may include a load control device adapted to communicate with one or more energy consuming devices. The load control device may have a load control device firmware adapted to receive and process control directives to change the load of at least one energy consuming device. A central control point may be associated with the building and may be connected to the line power. The central control point may include a circuit adapted to monitor the line power and a central control point firmware adapted to detect the line disturbance. The central control point firmware may be in communication with the load control device firmware and may be adapted to transmit the control directives to the load control device firmware.
