Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are presented herein for providing lower level physical-layer gateway functionalities and upper-level application functionalities; a system designed with flexible configurations in order to support a wide range of connected applications. The system includes a processor that executes machine instructions to perform operations. The operations comprise: receiving sensor data from a sensor device located in a building; converting the sensor data from a raw state to a physical measurement; and activating an abatement device situated in the building as a function of the physical measurement.

Claims (33)

1. A system, comprising:

a memory to store computer executable instructions; and

a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, that facilitates or effectuates execution of the computer executable instructions to perform operations, comprising:

receiving data from a home energy management system located in a habitable structure;

utilizing a conversion equation to convert the data from a raw state to a physical measurement;

switching, as a function of the physical measurement, supplied electrical power from a first power source to a second power source; and

in response to receiving data representing a request to modify a network establishment technology employed to perform uplink transmissions from a first connection technology representative of a first wireless standard to a second connection technology representative of a second wireless standard, adjusting transmission parameters to use the second wireless standard.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second power source is a solar panel associated with the habitable structure.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second power source is a wind turbine associated with the habitable structure.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the switching further comprises determining whether the physical measurement falls below a defined unit cost.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the home energy management system includes a thermostat, a controller, or an energy storage facility that includes the second power source.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise converting the data from the raw state to the physical measurement as a function of a calibration chart, a calibration table, or a calibration table.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data received from the home energy management system is compressed sensor data.

8. A method, comprising:

obtaining data, by a system comprising a processor, from a home energy management system located in a habitable structure;

converting the data, by the system, from a raw state to a physical measurement based on a conversion equation;

based on the physical measurement, switching, by the system, supplied electrical power from a first power source to a second power source; and

in response to receiving data representing a request to modify a network establishment technology employed to perform uplink transmissions from a first connection technology representative of a first wireless standard to a second connection technology representative of a second wireless standard, adjusting, by the system, transmission parameters to use the second wireless standard.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second power source is a solar panel associated with the habitable structure.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second power source is a wind turbine associated with the habitable structure.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining whether the physical measurement falls below a defined unit cost.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the home energy management system includes a thermostat, a controller, or an energy storage facility that includes the second power source.

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising converting the data, by the system, from the raw state to the physical measurement as a function of a calibration chart, a calibration table, or a calibration table.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the data received from the home energy management system is compressed sensor data.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

converting data received from a home management system from a raw state to a physical measurement based on a conversion equation;

in response to determining the physical measurement, switching supplied electrical power from a first power source to a second power source; and

in response to receiving data representing a request to modify a network establishment technology employed to perform uplink transmissions from a first connection technology representative of a first wireless standard to a second connection technology representative of a second wireless standard, adjusting transmission parameters to use the second wireless standard.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the second power source is a solar panel associated with the habitable structure.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the first power source is a wind turbine associated with the habitable structure.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise determining whether the physical measurement falls below a set point representing a defined unit cost.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , further comprising converting the data from the raw state to the physical measurement as a function of a calibration chart, a calibration table, or a calibration table.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the data received from the home energy management system is compressed sensor data.
