Publication number: 20220244098Abstract: Certain aspects pertain to a combination sensor comprising a set of physical sensors facing different directions proximate a structure, and configured to measure solar radiation in different directions. The combination sensor also comprises a virtual facade-aligned sensor configured to determine a combi-sensor value at a facade of the structure based on solar radiation readings from the set of physical sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Applicant: View, Inc.Inventors: Erich R. Klawuhn, Douglas S. Silkwood, Jason Zedlitz, Stephen C. Brown, Dhairya Shrivastava

Publication number: 20220214592Abstract: Methods of controlling tint of a tintable window to account for occupant comfort in a room of a building. Some methods include receiving weather feed data from one or more weather services (or other data sources) over a communication network, determining a weather condition based on the weather feed data, and determining a tint level for the tintable window based on the weather condition and based on whether a current time is within a time delay period at sunrise or sunset.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2022Publication date: July 7, 2022Applicant: View, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Clark Brown, Jason Zedlitz

Publication number: 20220163385Abstract: Various implementations relate generally to multi-sensor devices. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device including a ring of radially-oriented photosensors. Some implementations more particularly relate to a multi-sensor device that is orientation-independent with respect to a central axis of the ring. Some implementations of the multi-sensor devices described herein further include one or more additional sensors. For example, some implementations include an axially-directed photosensor. Some implementations also can include one or more temperature sensors configured to sense an exterior temperature, for example, an ambient temperature of an outdoors environment around the multi-sensor. Additionally or alternatively, some implementations include one or more of an infrared sensor or infrared sensors, a cellular communication circuit, and a GPS module.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2022Publication date: May 26, 2022Applicant: View, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Clark Brown, Dhairya Shrivastava, Jason Zedlitz, Trevor Frank, Jue Wang, Alexander Rumer, Dennis Mullins, Kevin Kazuo Kaneshiro
