1. A system comprising:
- a bed comprising;
an air mattress having at least one inflatable bladder;
a pressure sensor configured to sense pressure in the air mattress; and
a controller configured to;
adjust the pressure of the air mattress; and
receive sensed pressures from the pressure sensor;
a server that is physically separated from the bed and that is in data communication with the controller, the server configured to;
store user preferences related to an auto-adjust feature of the bed;
determine that the bed does not have a user laying on the bed;
wherein the controller is further configured to;
responsive to the determination that the bed does not have a user laying on the bed and responsive to a determination that a user preference has been met;
adjusting the pressure of the air mattress to an unoccupied pressure value;
andmaintain the air mattress at the unoccupied pressure value.

Abstract
A method and system may include transmitting a signal to a pump of an air mattress to set the pressure of the air mattress to an initial pressure; receiving, at a central controller, a user preference condition for an automatic adjustment of the pressure in the air mattress; receiving, at the central controller, an indication that the air mattress is empty; and based on determining that the user preference condition has been met and receiving the indication: detecting a change in the pressure of the air mattress beyond a threshold value; and based on the detection, adjusting the pressure of the air mattress to the initial pressure.
