Home system employing a configurable control action and method of configuring a home system for control
First Claim
1. A system for a structure, said system for a structure comprising:
- a server including a first wireless communication port and a user interface;
at least one sensor, each of said at least one sensor sensing information and including a second wireless communication port, which sends said sensed information to the first wireless communication port of said server; and
at least one device, each of said at least one device outputting a control action and including a third wireless communication port, which receives said control action from the first wireless communication port of said server,wherein the user interface of said server is adapted to configure said at least one device to output said control action responsive to;
(a) at least one input from said at least one sensor, (b) another input from one of said at least one sensor or said user interface, and (c) a logic function applied to said at least one input from said at least one sensor and to said another input from one of said at least one sensor or said user interface, andwherein the user interface of said server is further adapted to display a first selection to confirm that the system should change the control action of one of said at least one control device, and a second selection to confirm that the system should not change the control action of said one of said at least one control device.

Abstract
A home system includes a server having a first wireless communication port and a user interface. A plurality of sensors sense information and include a second wireless communication port, which sends the sensed information to the first wireless communication port of the server. A plurality of control devices output a control action and include a third wireless communication port, which receives the control action from the first wireless communication port of the server. The user interface of the server is adapted to configure the devices to output the control action responsive to: (a) at least one input from the sensors, (b) another input from one of the sensors or the user interface, and (c) a logic function applied to the at least one input from the sensors and to the another input from one of the sensors or the user interface.

21. A method of configuring a system for a structure for a control action, said method comprising:
-
sensing information by at least one sensor; wirelessly sending said sensed information from said at least one sensor to a node; determining a control action at said node; outputting said control action; configuring said control action to be responsive to;
(a) at least one input from said at least one sensor, (b) another input from one of said at least one sensor or a user interface, and (c) a logic function applied to said at least one input from said at least one sensor, and to said another input from one of said at least one sensor or said user interface; anddisplaying a first selection to confirm that the system should change said control action, and a second selection to confirm that the system should not change said control action. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
