Smart sensor adaptive configuration systems and methods using cloud data

Abstract

A cloud server associated with a plurality of home-control network, downloads sensor data, Internet data, and data from network devices outside the user's home-control network, and analyzes the data to control water valves and leak detectors within the user's home-control network.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method to automatically control a water valve on a user's home-control network, the method comprising:
 electronically receiving network data from a plurality of home-control networks, each home-control network comprising a network controller and at least a water valve, the home-control network configured to propagate messages, the messages comprising commands to control a state of the water valve;   aggregating the network data associated with the state of water valves from the plurality of home-control networks within a geographic area of the user's home control network;   receiving weather information for the geographic area from a weather service over a global network;   receiving location information comprising a location of a user from a geo-location device over the global network; and   automatically controlling the water valve on the user's home-control network based at least in part on the aggregated network data, the weather information, and the location information.
