Home system including a portable fob having a display
First Claim
1. A system for a structure, said system comprising:
- a server including a first wireless communication port;
a portable fob including a second wireless communication port, a user input device and a display; and
a plurality of sensors, each of said sensors sensing information and including a third wireless communication port, which sends said sensed information to the first wireless communication port of said server, said server sending said sensed information for at least one of said sensors from the first wireless communication port of said server to the second wireless communication port of said portable fob, said portable fob displaying said sensed information for at least one of said sensors at the display of said portable fob,wherein said server further includes a processor, which detects a state change of the sensed information of one of said sensors, and which sends said state change of the sensed information from the first wireless communication port of said server to the second wireless communication port of said portable fob,wherein said portable fob receives said state change of the sensed information from the second wireless communication port and responsively drives said display,wherein said sensors periodically send said sensed information to the first wireless communication port of said server, andwherein said portable fob periodically requests and receives said sensed information for said sensors between the first and second wireless communication ports.

Abstract
A home wellness system includes a headless base station having a first wireless communication port, a portable fob having a second wireless communication port, a user input device and a display, and plurality of sensors. Each of the sensors senses information and includes a third wireless communication port, which sends the sensed information to the first wireless communication port of the headless base station. The headless base station sends the sensed information for one, some or all of the sensors from its first wireless communication port to the second wireless communication port of the portable fob. The portable fob displays the sensed information for one, more or all of the sensors at its display.
