Abstract

An energy-saving air conditioner and illumination controller is applied to an interior space to regulate the air conditioner fan and the illumination device in the space according to the detected interior temperature, brightness, and status of users in the space. Therefore, a manual operation for regulate temperature and brightness is avoided. Automatically powering off the air conditioner fan and the illumination device is also achieved while no one is in the interior space so that a prevention of energy waste is ensured. A simple installation of the energy-saving air conditioner and illumination controller can be applied to existing air conditioner and illumination equipment without complicated assembly and configuration.

Claims

1. An energy-saving air conditioner and illumination controller comprising:

an equipment control device electrically connected to an air conditioner fan and an illumination device for detecting the interior temperature, brightness, and status of users so as to regulate the operations of the air conditioner fan and an illumination device;

a controller serving to communicate to the equipment control device by optically transmitting parameters for the equipment control device under user'"'"'s operation.

2. The energy-saving air conditioner and illumination controller as claimed in claim 1, wherein the communication between the controller and the equipment control device is a type of one-way or two-way communication.

3. The energy-saving air conditioner and illumination controller as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller is defined as one of an administrative controller or a user controller.
