Patent number: 11934165Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for implementing smart windows, smart home systems that include smart windows, and user devices and applications for control thereof. A smart window, or photovoltaic window, may include a photovoltaic configured to generate electrical power from incident light onto the photovoltaic window, store the electrical power, and send the electrical power to an electronics package or various electrical loads including a wireless communication system, sensors, or window functions. The photovoltaic window may communicate with various smart home system devices such as hub devices and user devices, which may include the reception of control data at the photovoltaic window and the transmission of sensor data captured by the window sensors.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Ubiquitous Energy, Inc.Inventors: Miles C. Barr, Ian Millard, Rachel Molaro, Susan Stone, Veeral Hardev, Christopher Traverse, Anthony Sagneri, David Maikowski, Edwin Hathaway, Bradley J. Gleeson
