DEMAND RESPONSE DEVICE

摘要

Aspects of the subject technology relate to a demand response device that is configured to receive comparison report information from a notification system, wherein the notification system is configured to execute steps including receiving at least one temperature report for each of a plurality of demand response devices, and identifying two or more demand response devices that share a common geographic location. In some aspects, a notification system of the subject technology can be further configured for generating a comparison report, wherein the comparison report is based on the ambient temperature information and the geolocation data for at least two of the plurality of demand response devices.

1. A demand response device, comprising:
a microprocessor; a global positioning system (GPS) module coupled to the microprocessor; a thermal sensor coupled to the microprocessor; and a network interface coupled to the microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor is configured to correlate ambient temperature information received from the thermal sensor with geolocation data provided by the GPS module, and wherein the microprocessor is further configured to perform operations comprising:
sending, via the network interface, a temperature report to a remote server, wherein the temperature report comprises the ambient temperature information and the geolocation data; andreceiving, via the network interface, a comparison report from the remote server, wherein the comparison report includes comparative thermostat setting information for one or more proximately located demand response devices.
