  • Patent number: 8402150
    Abstract: A method and system for converting LonWorks® protocol in an electrical device management network to a different protocol for RF transmission between RF transceivers of the network and thereafter returning the converted protocol back to the LonWorks® protocol at a remote location without the need for software to make the conversions.

  • Publication number: 20130033187
    Abstract: The invention provides a wireless means of power monitoring and control of lighting fixtures. The device consists of five sections; line voltage AC to DC convertor and DC power circuit, voltage sensing circuit, current sensing circuit, relay circuit, and wireless microcontroller (“WUC”). Power input to the device is made via a multi-pronged connector (“MPC”). The AC to DC convertor reduces voltage to an acceptable level for the DC voltage circuit to power the circuitry on the printed circuit boards. A logic-controlled relay circuit provides on/off control of the light fixture outputting to the “Load” terminal of the MPC. Line voltage from the MPC enter current and voltage sensing circuits, continues through signal shaping circuits, and is provided to the WUC for processing. The two input signals are scaled and computed to provide power consumption values which are then transmitted wirelessly to a building automation control network.
