In an exemplary system embodiment, a mobile device is configured to receive and/or determine a first identifier of the first HVAC control and to automatically configure one or more first settings for the first HVAC control corresponding with the first identifier. The one or more first settings are stored within and retrievable directly from the memory of the mobile device. The mobile device is also configured to receive and/or determine a second identifier of the second HVAC control and to automatically configure one or more second settings for the second HVAC control corresponding with the second identifier. The one or more second settings are stored within and retrievable directly from the memory of the mobile device for wireless transmission to the second HVAC control for download to a memory of the second HVAC control for controlling at least one HVAC component according to the one or more second settings.

Methods and devices useful in performing precise indoor localization and tracking are provided. By way of example, a method includes locating and tracking, via a first wireless electronic device, a plurality of other wireless electronic devices within an indoor environment. Location ambiguity mitigation is performed using characteristics of signals received by a reference node used to generate a radio frequency map of electronic devices.

An example system and method provides radiating into the 3D environment a millimeter wave (mmWave) radio frequency (RF) radiation signal that interacts with reflective surfaces, penetrable surfaces, scattering surfaces of the 3D environment, producing respective multipath components, determining information from two or more of the multipath components, including two among, or, optionally, all of angle of arrival (AoA), angle of departure (AoD), time of arrival, relative time of arrival (RTA), and phase and, based on the information and the received multipath components, performs computing the user device’s relative or absolute mobile device location in relation to the surrounding 3D environment, and providing images or video of the surrounding 3D environment to a display or a storage of the user’s mobile device, for displaying or storing.

The present invention relates to a wireless system 100 miming multiple applications at the same time, such as for both lighting control and asset tracking A node 200 comprised in the wireless system 100 is capable to operate in multiple communication modes, with each communication mode is according to a different communication technology. One the other hand, one application may have a preferred communication mode different from another application, considering some applications may have higher security requirements than the others. In view of this, a mode switching method is disclosed to assist the node 200 to serve multiple parallel applications in an efficient manner.

A merchant may operate a retail store that users are able to visit in person in order to view and purchase products. When a user visits the store, the user might not know where a desired product (“target product”) is located. Computer technology may help direct the user to the target product in real-time. In some embodiments, a model of passable areas and the location of products in the retail store may be determined, e.g. by a merchant device. In some embodiments, when the user visits the retail store, a computer generates a product recommendation, e.g. based on user-specific information, and a route in the retail store is determined for the user. In some embodiments, the route in the retail store may be determined using the model based on the target product, the user's location in the store, and one or more recommended products.

Systems and methods for indoor tracking via Wi-Fi fingerprinting and electromagnetic fingerprinting are provided and can include a gateway receiver device measuring a RSSI value of a signal transmitted by a Wi-Fi transmitter device, the gateway receiver device measuring an EMF value of an interference in an electromagnetic field created by the gateway receiver device that is caused by the Wi-Fi transmitter device, the gateway receiver device determining whether the RSSI value matches any of a plurality of Wi-Fi fingerprints associated with a monitored region and whether the EMF value matches any of a plurality of electromagnetic fingerprints associated with the monitored region, and responsive thereto, the gateway receiver device identifying that a location of the Wi-Fi transmitter device is within the monitored region.

In aspects of UWB automation experiences controller, a system includes ultra-wideband (UWB) radios associated with respective devices in an environment. An automation controller receives UWB ranging data from the UWB radios, and can monitor locations of the respective devices in the environment based on the UWB ranging data received from the UWB radios. The automation controller can determine a location change of a device in the environment, and update an automation experience in the environment based on the location change of the device in the environment. A computing device can implement the automation controller to monitor interactions with the respective devices, and monitor the locations of the respective devices in the environment. The automation controller can update an automation experience in the environment based on an interaction and the locations of the respective devices in the environment.

Systems, asset tag devices, and methods are described herein to provide asset, or object, tracking using a plurality of beacons. The asset tag devices may be affixed, or coupled to, the asset, or object, and may receive beacon advertising packets from the beacons, and then transmit, or broadcast, tag advertising packets including information from the received beacon advertising packets, which may be used to determine an approximate location of the asset tag device, and in turn, the asset or object.

A system and a method for controlling temperature in different zones of a premises. A method includes receiving a measurement of temperature sensed by a first fire detector positioned at a first zone of a premises. The method further includes receiving a measurement of temperature sensed by a second fire detector positioned at a second zone of the premises. The method also includes controlling the temperature by a thermostat in the first zone based on the measurement of the sensed temperature received from the first fire detector and in the second zone based on the measurement of the sensed temperature received from the second fire detector.
