  • Patent number: 8527105
    Abstract: Methods, software and systems for determining and monitoring the energy consumption of electrical load devices (e.g., variable load devices and non-variable load devices) in an environment (e.g., an office building or a house).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 1, 2011
    Date of Patent: September 3, 2013
    Assignee: Daintree Networks, Pty. Ltd.
    Inventors: Jason Yew Choo Choong, Peter Graeme Cobb
  • Patent number: 8503330
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for commissioning and optimizing a wireless network. In one aspect, a method includes a wireless network configuration and optimization engine receives configuration data for a wireless network and monitors performance of the wireless network. The engine processes the data to perform on or more automated commissioning operations, and one or more automated optimization operations, thus simplifying commissioning and maintenance of the wireless network.

  • Patent number: 8422401
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for commissioning a wireless network in an automated fashion. The method includes accessing zone configuration data specifying zones in a wireless network and further specifying, for each zone, wireless devices that belong to the zone; in response to a first physical stimulus in an area, receiving sensor data from a first sensor device in the area and generating the sensor data in response to sensing the first physical stimulus, the first sensor device not belonging to a zone and the area being an area in which are located other wireless devices belonging to a first zone; generating a commissioning event for the first zone; and in response to the sensor data and the commissioning event, updating the zone configuration data so that the zone configuration data specifies that the first sensor device belongs to the first zone.

  • Patent number: 8370483
    Abstract: A system for analyzing a packet-based network includes a wireless network analysis processing device that is configured to receive correlated packet records representative of the order in which corresponding packets are transmitted in a wireless network. The correlated packet records include media access control (MAC) layer data and network layer data for each corresponding packet. The MAC layer data and network layer data are processed to generate network topology data representative of the network topology, generate packet flow data representative of the flow of packets between devices at the MAC layer and across the network at the network layer, and measurement data relating to the packet flow data.

  • Patent number: 8265674
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for commissioning a wireless network. In one aspect, a method includes instructing the switch devices of the controlled circuits to provide power to the controlled circuit wiring of the controlled circuits to enable joining of wireless adapters to the wireless network; monitoring the joining of wireless adapters to the wireless network; monitoring for the occurrence of a joining expiration event; and in response to the occurrence of the joining expiration event, determining whether each wireless adapter that joined the wireless network during a joining time period ending at the occurrence of the joining expiration event belongs to the controlled circuits.

  • Patent number: 7962606
    Abstract: A system for analyzing a packet-based network includes a correlator processor that is configured to receive packet records corresponding to packets communicated over a network and store the packet records in a data store. The correlator processor is also configured to generate correlated packet records from the packet records stored in the data store, the correlated packet records representative of the order in which the packets were transmitted in the network.
