Home automation system providing remote room temperature control

摘要

A system and method of home automation comprising one or more remote thermostats each having an environmental sensor array configured to sense temperature and humidity and at least one thermostat controller in electrical communication with an HVAC system. The remote thermostats and the thermostat controller are in electrical communication over a local area network, which may be wired or wireless. The thermostat controller receives, over the local area network, computer-readable environmental data from the remote thermostats corresponding to the temperature and said humidity in the location where the remote thermostat is installed. The thermostat controller conditionally controls the HVAC system based on the environmental data received from the remote thermostats, allowing for more precise and accurate environmental control of the entire home or building. The local area network is connected to the internet and the automation system is controllable remotely by a mobile device or computer via the internet.

主权项

1. A home automation system, comprising:
one or more plug-in portable remote thermostats, each of said remote thermostats including an environmental sensor array configured to sense temperature and humidity, a display, a motion sensor, a carbon monoxide sensor, a security camera, and a pass-through convenience power outlet; at least one thermostat controller in electrical communication with an HVAC system; wherein said remote thermostats and said thermostat controller are in electrical communication over a local area network; wherein said thermostat controller receives, over said local area network, computer-readable environmental data from said one or more remote thermostats corresponding to said temperature and said humidity; wherein said thermostat controller conditionally controls said HVAC system based on said environmental data received from said remote thermostats; and wherein said thermostat controller is in electrical communication with a security system wherein said thermostat controller is configured to receive security data from said remote thermostats corresponding to activation of said motion sensors and wherein said thermostat controller conditionally controls said security system based on said security data.
