  • Publication number: 20250086887
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for sending a stream of lighting information for a synchronized scene from a cloud-based system to a set of synchronized client applications. Sending the stream includes detecting a series of changes in configuration of lighting for the synchronized scene, and after detecting each change in the series of changes (a) generating, at the cloud-based system, new lighting information that reflects the change; and (b) streaming the new lighting information to the set of synchronized client applications. Each client application in the set of synchronized client applications repeatedly renders updated depictions of the synchronized scene to reflect lighting configuration changes indicated in the stream of lighting information.

  • Publication number: 20240264615
    Abstract: Control zone devices that integrate a valve, filter, and pressure regulator within a single device are provided. Specifically, the control zone devices include a main body having a base portion with an inlet passage and an outlet passage attachable to a conduit and a body portion extending from the base portion having an interior for receiving a filter. The control zone devices further include a valve body including a solenoid bowl for attaching a solenoid and an interface cap for removably coupling the valve body to the main body of the control zone device and forming an interface between the valve body and the main body to operate the valve. The control zone devices also include a pressure regulator. In some configurations, the pressure regulator is positioned in a vent flow path of the valve body downstream of the solenoid for regulating pressure at the valve.
