An electronic cigarette includes a microprocessor, a battery module and a heating element. The battery module is electrically connected to the heating element and supplies power to the heating element with a first output parameter. The electronic cigarette further includes a sensing module, connected to the microprocessor and disposed in a smoke outlet passage of the electronic cigarette, for detecting the concentration of an analyte and sending it to the microprocessor. The microprocessor stores a preset threshold, the microprocessor receives the concentration of the analyte detected by the sensing module, and further determines the relationship between the concentration of the analyte and the preset threshold. When the concentration of the analyte is higher than or equal to the preset threshold, the microprocessor controls the battery module to supply power to the heating element with a second output parameter, wherein the second output parameter is smaller than the first output parameter.

A tintable window is described having a tintable coating, e.g., an electrochromic device coating, for regulating light transmitted through the window. In some embodiments, the window has a transparent display in the window's viewable region. Transparent displays may be substantially transparent when not in use, or when the window is viewed in a direction facing away from the transparent display. Windows may have sensors for receiving user commands and/or for monitoring environmental conditions. Transparent displays can display graphical user interfaces to, e.g., control window functions. Windows, as described herein, offer an alternative display to conventional projectors, TVs, and monitors. Windows may also be configured to receive, transmit, or block wireless communications from passing through the window. A window control system may share computational resources between controllers (e.g., at different windows). In some cases, the computational resources of the window control system are utilized by other building systems and devices.

Resources of a system for controlling optically switchable windows may be used for a personal computing unit. The window system resources may include (i) a display associated with an optically switchable window, (ii) one or more processors of one or more controllers on a window network connected to a plurality of optically switchable windows in a building, wherein the one or more controllers are configured to vary tint states of the plurality of optically switchable windows in the building, (iii) memory of one or more controllers on the window network connected to the plurality of optically switchable windows in the building, and/or (iv) at least a part of the window network.
