  • Data hub powered by a device connected thereto
    Patent number: 12706771
    Abstract: A data hub of a home automation system is powered by a power supply of at least one powered device of the home automation system that is connected to the data hub. By providing power to the data hub from the one of the devices that are connected to it, the need for a separate power source is eliminated. A method for powering a data hub of a home-automation system without bus power includes connecting at least two independently powered devices to device ports of the data hub. When the powered devices are connected to the ports, a voltage is detected by an internal power regulation, protection and distribution unit of the hub and disconnects bus power. A system for powering the data hub includes configuring the hub to receive power by devices connected thereto. When the hub receives power from the powered device, bus power is disconnected.
