Processors of the plurality of sensor devices are operative to select a master sensor device, wherein the master sensor device maintains communication with the wireless router, and wherein the other sensor devices of the plurality of sensor devices form a wireless mesh network.

Systems and methods for establishing relationships between building automation system components and controlling building automation system components. Data for a building automation system components may be received from the building automation system components and one or more models may be applied to the received data to determine types of the building automation system components and relationships between building automation system components. Once the types of building automation system components have been determined or identified, uniform names may be applied to the building automation system components. The received data may include, among other data, naming data and telemetry data from the building automation system components.

The invention provides a control arrangement and corresponding method for intelligent control of at least one energy consuming device within a building. The control arrangement comprises a switch component for controlling a first energy consuming device such as a lighting device, heating, ventilation or security device; and/or a computer-implemented control component for intelligently controlling at least one further energy consuming device, such as a heating, air conditioning, ventilation or security apparatus. The switch component and/or the control component are provided within a housing which is mounted within or interfaced to a pattress or wiring box during use. The control component comprises a microprocessor and suitably arranged software configured to receive sensor data obtained from one or more sensors provided in or on the housing, and/or process the sensor data to enable the system to intelligently control the at least one further energy consuming device. The system is configured to build a model of a building occupant's behaviour so that the energy consuming devices can be controlled more efficiently and intelligently. The invention is simple and easy to install because it replaces an existing light switch or thermostat.

Provided herein are embodiments of a programmable microgrid control system that includes programming software tools capable of modeling, analyzing and monitoring power system especially AC, DC and hybrid microgrids. The monitoring feature of the software tool allows tools to communicate with a real system to acquire online data of power system assets such as conventional and renewable energy sources, transformers, and electrical loads.

A method may include obtaining, by a remote server, replacement data regarding various hardware components from various automation systems. The replacement data may describe component replacements of various component types that are used by the automation systems. The method may further include determining, by the remote server, a failure rate of a first component type using the replacement data. The first component type may be associated with an automation system. The method may further include determining, by the remote server, whether the failure rate of the first component type satisfies a predetermined replacement criterion. The method may further include transmitting, by the remote server and in response to determining that the failure rate of the first component type fails to satisfy the predetermined replacement criterion, a command to an automation system among the automation systems. The command may cause the automation system to replace a hardware component corresponding to the first component type with a hardware component corresponding to a second component type. The first component type may be different from the second component type.

A condition control of a robot cleaner is performed or service is provided with a user using the robot cleaner to improve the convenience of the user. Various data items obtained through a network connection are used in the condition control or service to estimate/determine a behavior, condition, or request of the user. Specifically, the operation of the robot cleaner is controlled based on operations of other associated devices disposed in the same room where the robot cleaner runs.

A communicative building management system (BMS) can enable replication of data from computer systems that may potentially be affected by various external events. The BMS is coupled to environmental sensors and configured to receive sensor signals and communicate with one or more computer systems implementing a service. The BMS notifies a console system administrating a service that one or more computer systems implementing the service are affected by a data center event based on signals received from one or more sensor devices associated with a zone including the affected computer systems. A console system commands replication of data stored on the affected computer systems to separate computer systems based at least in part on the notification from the BMS indicating the computer systems are affected by the data center event.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a system including a first active control device, comprising: a flow control element; one or more sensors; a network interface configured to connect to a mesh network; a memory comprising computer-executable instructions; and a processor configured to: execute the computer-executable instructions; receive local sensor data from the one or more sensors; receive remote sensor data from a remote sensing device; control a position of the flow control element based on one or more of the local sensor data or the remote sensor data; store the local sensor data and remote sensor data in the memory; and transmit the local sensor data and the remote sensor data to a second active control device via the mesh network.

An environmental control system for a building including building equipment operable to affect a variable state or condition of the building. The system includes a controller including a processing circuit. The processing circuit can obtain training data relating to operation of the building equipment and can perform a system identification process to identify parameters of a system model using the training data.
