Abstract

A system and apparatus facilitating enhanced control of apparatus, equipment and appliances. In particular, the present invention relates to a system and apparatus which can be readily retro-fittable to a wide range of appliances thereby enhancing energy saving properties and wear reduction. According to the present invention, there is provided a controller system including a controller apparatus including a power source, a telemetry sensor for readily detecting at least one telemetry reading, a transmitter responsive to signals from the telemetry sensor; and an electrical/electronic apparatus responsive to signals from the transmitter.

Claims

1. A controller system comprising:

(a) a controller apparatus including;

(i) a power source;

(ii) a telemetry sensor for readily detecting at least one telemetry reading;

(iii) a transmitter responsive to signals from said telemetry sensor; and

(b) an electrical/electronic apparatus responsive to signals from said transmitter.

2. The controller apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller apparatus has a shape recalling that of a motion detector.

3. The controller apparatus of claim 1, wherein said transmitter wirelessly communicates with said electrical/electronic apparatus.

4. The controller of claim 1, wherein said electrical/electronic apparatus is devoid of retrofitting for readily using said controller apparatus with said apparatus.

5. The controller system of claim 1, wherein said electrical/electronic apparatus is selected from the group consisting of a HVAC (heating, ventilating and cooling) apparatus, a telephony apparatus, a multimedia apparatus, an audio apparatus, a home theater system, at least one illumination device, a home computer, a portable computer and a PDA.

6. A controller system comprising:

(a) a controller apparatus having a shape recalling that of a motion detector comprising;

(i) a power source;

(ii) a telemetry sensor for readily detecting at least one telemetry reading;

(iii) a wireless transmitter responsive to signals from said telemetry sensor;

(b) an electrical/electronic apparatus devoid of retrofitting to said controller and responsive to at least one signal from said transmitter;

wherein said electrical/electronic apparatus is selected from the group consisting of;

a HVAC (heating, ventilating and cooling) apparatus, a telephony apparatus, a multimedia apparatus, an audio apparatus, a home theater system, at least one illumination device, a home computer, a portable computer and a PDA.

7. The controller apparatus of claim 6, wherein said telemetry sensor further comprising a processor for readily controlling the time and/or operation mode of said electrical/electronic apparatus.

8. The controller system of claim 6, wherein said illumination device illuminates substantially at a wavelength producing visible red, visible blue, IR or UV illumination.

9. The controller of claim 6, wherein said controller apparatus further comprising a receiver for “

two way”

telemetry with said controller.

10. The controller of claim 6, wherein said at least one signal is compatible with at least one domestic appliance.

11. (canceled)

12. A controller system comprising:

(a) a controller apparatus comprising;

(i) a power source; and

(ii) a wireless transmitter;

(b) an illuminator electrically attached responsive to at least one signal from said wireless transmitter; and

(c) an actuator electrically attached to said illuminator for readily controlling illumination of said illuminator.

13. The controller of claim 12, wherein said illuminator illuminates substantially at a wavelength producing visible red, visible blue, IR or UV illumination.
