A system for monitoring the security of a connected Internet of Things (IoT) device is provided. The system includes a network doppelgänger (ND) computer device. The ND computer device is in communication with the IoT device and a service provider computer device associated with the IoT device. The ND computer device is programmed to store a plurality of policies associated with the service provider computer device. The ND computer device is also programmed to receive a communication from the IoT device addressed to the service provider computer device. The ND computer device is further programmed to analyze the communication in view of the plurality of policies to determine whether the communication is approved. If the communication is approved, the ND computer device is programmed to route the communication to the service provider computer device.

A wireless waveguide system for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The wireless waveguide system includes a sensor that detects an environmental condition and directs a signal indicative of the environmental condition along an interior of a ductwork. A signal sensor detects a strength of the signal within the interior of the ductwork. A repeater that operates based on the strength of the signal detected by the signal sensor and repeats the signal along a communication path at least partially within the interior of the ductwork to a controller of an HVAC unit.

A first electronic device includes a first sub-function and a second sub-function. The sub function, and the first sub-function is different from the second sub-function. The first electronic device detects a first operation of a user. The first electronic device displays a first interface in response to the first operation, where the first interface includes a name of the first sub-function, a device identifier of a second electronic device, a name of the second sub-function, and a device identifier of a third electronic device. The first electronic device detects a second operation of the user on the device identifier of the second electronic device. The first electronic device sends data corresponding to the first sub-function to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device executes the first sub-function.

Apparatus and methods for guaranteeing a quality of experience (QoE) associated with data provision services in an enhanced data delivery network. In one embodiment, a network architecture having service delivery over at least portions of extant infrastructure (e.g., a hybrid fiber coax infrastructure) is disclosed, which includes standards-compliant ultra-low latency and high data rate services (e.g., 5G NR services) via a common service provider. In one exemplary implementation, “over-the-top” voice data services may enable exchange of voice traffic with client devices in the aforementioned network. A distribution node may use a detection rule to identify received packets as voice traffic, and cause a dedicated bearer to attach to the default bearer, thereby enabling delivery of high-quality voice traffic by at least prioritizing the identified packets thereafter and sustaining the delivery even in a congested network environment, and improving the quality of service (QoS) and QoE for the user(s).

An electrical control system, in particular for home automation systems, includes at least one electronic switching device including a switching module (10) which includes a switching circuit, including at least one controlled switch which allows a selective implementation of a switch configuration, a diverter configuration or an inverter configuration and a plurality of terminals which allow the connection of the switching module to an external electrical system. The switching module allows selective application of the switch configuration of the switching circuit or diverter configuration of the switching circuit or inverter configuration of the switching circuit to terminals in a partial way, or total way, or to implement a total separation to said terminals.

An entry adapter configured to communicate cable television (CATV) signals from a CATV network to one or more network devices and to communicate Multi-Media over Coaxial Alliance (MoCA) signals with a MoCA server, the entry adapter including one or more MoCA ports, and a signal combination device configured to direct the CATV signals toward one or more access ports without substantial attenuation, to substantially attenuate the CATV signals directed toward the one or more MoCA ports, to pass the MoCA signals from the one or more MoCA ports to the one or more access ports, and to pass the MoCA signals from the one or more access ports to the one or more MoCA ports.

An apparatus for determining individual consumption for a plurality of users through computer network monitoring. The apparatus comprises a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to receive data from one or more smart devices associated with a first user and a second user through data streaming between the one or more smart devices and a server. The processor is further configured to determine that a first home associated with the first user and a second home associated with a second user are located within a distance threshold from each other based, at least in part, on geolocation information. The processor is further configured to determine that the first user and the second user are comparable peers. The processor is further configured to determine that an individual consumption of one of the comparable peers is greater than an average total consumption and to transmit an alert.
