Abstract

The present disclosure relates to environmental control devices (ECDs) and methods for exchanging environmental data using a wireless communication infrastructure. The wireless communication infrastructure includes a first Wi-Fi hotspot and at least one of a second Wi-Fi hotspot and a mesh network. The ECD includes a communication module for exchanging environmental data with at least one other device via a wireless communication infrastructure. The communication module is capable of establishing a first Wi-Fi hotspot, associating with a second Wi-Fi hotspot, and communicating over a mesh network. The ECD further comprises a processing module capable of processing environmental data received from other devices via the wireless communication infrastructure and / or transmitting generated environmental data to other devices via the wireless communication infrastructure. The ECD may contain environmental controllers, sensors, controlled devices, and repeaters for wired devices.

Description

technical field [0001] This disclosure relates to the field of environmental control systems. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to environmental control devices and methods for exchanging environmental data using WiFi infrastructure. Background technique [0002] Systems for controlling environmental conditions, eg in buildings, are becoming increasingly complex. Control systems can simultaneously control heating and cooling, monitor air quality, and detect dangerous conditions such as fire, carbon monoxide release, intrusion, and more. Such control systems generally include at least one environmental controller, which generally receives measured environmental values ​​from external sensors, and in turn determines setpoint or command parameters to be sent to the controlled device. [0003] The communication between the environmental controller and the equipment (sensors, controlled devices) under its control is currently wire based. Wiring is deployed in a...
