  • Circadian lighting in a diverse home automation system
    Patent number: 11785694
    Abstract: In various embodiments, an architecture is provided for implementing circadian lighting in a home automation system having diverse lighting devices of different capabilities and manners of control. The architecture utilizes an outdoor sensor to capture current intensity and color temperature data for the outdoor environment. Color temperatures and intensities from a user-created circadian lighting curve are dynamically adjusted based on the current intensity and color temperature data for the outdoor environment to approximate changes that are occurring. The diverse lighting devices are controlled based on the dynamically adjusted temperatures and intensities.
