Thermostat and messaging device and methods thereof

摘要

Thermostat and messaging devices (TMDs) and associated platforms for providing monitor and control functionality are disclosed. A TMD can be in communication with one or more sensors to facilitate intelligent heating and cooling as well has home automation. The TMD can facilitate communication with a plurality of different networking protocols such that it can receive communication signals from a plurality of different sensors and devices that operate using varying communication techniques. The TMD can also be configured to assist with geolocating a person who is calling for emergency services.

主权项

1. A thermostat and messaging device for an environment having a climate control system, comprising:
a user interface including a display screen; a data store, wherein geospatial information of the thermostat and messaging device is stored in the data store; and a controller coupled to the user interface, wherein the controller is to:
(i) generate control signals to one or more components of a climate control system of an environment,(ii) receive, from a mobile communication device, a request for the geospatial information subsequent to initiation of an emergency call from the mobile communication device, and(iii) transmit the requested geospatial information to the mobile communication device for relay to an emergency communications center.
