  • Publication number: 20170061784
    Abstract: In some implementations a system includes an environmental control unit and a sip-and-puff controller that is operable to be coupled to the environmental control unit via a wireless communication path, wherein the sip-and-puff controller includes a tube, an atmospheric pressure sensor mechanically coupled to the tube, a signal generator that is electrically coupled to the atmospheric pressure sensor and operable to receive readings from the atmospheric pressure sensor and operable to generate signals that are representative of a variable amount of sip and puff that is not limited to only ON and OFF that are associated with control of a graphical user interface, and the system includes a wireless communication subsystem that is electrically coupled to the signal generator that is operable to transmit the signals that are representative of the variable amount of sip and puff to the environmental control unit via the wireless communication path.
