Abstract

Facilitating structure automation functionality by automatically modifying a condition of an environment based on implementing a parameter adjustment at a remote device within the structure is provided herein. A method can comprise facilitating a communication link between a controller device, a first auxiliary device, and a second auxiliary device. Facilitating the communication link comprises defining a communication standard that controls a communication between the first auxiliary device and the second auxiliary device. The method can also comprise implementing a first change at the first auxiliary device based on a first determination that a first condition within an environment of the first auxiliary device is to be changed. Further, the method can comprise implementing a second change at the second auxiliary device based on a second determination that a second condition within the environment of the second auxiliary device is to be changed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system, comprising:
 a memory that stores executable components; and   a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising:
 a communications component that facilitates a communication between a central device and at least one remote device, wherein the central device is positioned at a first location within a structure and the at least one remote device is positioned at a second location within the structure; 
 an evaluation component that analyzes a condition of an environment at the second location based on information received from the at least one remote device; and 
 an adjustment component that facilitates a change to at least one parameter of the at least one remote device based on the condition of the environment, wherein the change results in a modification to the condition of the environment at the second location while supporting structure automation functionality. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the central device is classified as a gateway device, and wherein the at least one remote device is classified as an internet of things device. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one remote device is a self-powered damper of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the self-powered damper is operatively connected to an apparatus that rotates with a movement of air inside duct of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system, wherein a rotation of the apparatus charges a battery operatively attached to the self-powered damper, wherein the battery is a power source for the self-powered damper. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the adjustment component facilitates a temperature change at the second location based on a presence of an individual at the second location. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the adjustment component facilitates a lighting change at the second location based on the presence of the individual at the second location. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one sensor associated with the at least one remote device, wherein the at least one sensor determines a presence of an individual at the second location. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one remote device is a smart vent that automatically adjusts as a function of a stated preference of the individual. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one remote device is an air humidity device, and wherein the adjustment component automatically adjusts an output of the air humidity device as a function of a stated humidity level preference of the individual. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the evaluation component is a sensor that monitors ambient conditions within the structure, and wherein the adjustment component facilitates the change based on an ambient condition preference of the individual. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one remote device is a filter device, and wherein the evaluation component analyzes an allergen level and the adjustment component adjusts an air flow through the filter device based on an allergen level preference of the individual. 
     
     
         12 . A method, comprising:
 facilitating, by a system comprising a processor, a communication link between a controller device, a first auxiliary device, and a second auxiliary device, wherein the facilitating the communication link comprises defining a communication standard that controls a communication between the first auxiliary device and the second auxiliary device;   implementing, by the system, a first change at the first auxiliary device based on a first determination that a first condition within an environment of the first auxiliary device is to be changed; and   implementing, by the system, a second change at the second auxiliary device based on a second determination that a second condition within the environment of the second auxiliary device is to be changed.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the first auxiliary device and the second auxiliary device are classified as internet of things devices. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the first auxiliary device is a heating element of a heating, air conditioning, and ventilation system, and wherein the second auxiliary device is a lighting element. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the implementing the first change comprises transmitting a first instruction to the first auxiliary device, the first instruction specifies the first change, and wherein the implementing the second change comprises transmitting a second instruction to the second auxiliary device, the second instruction specifies the second change. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 determining, by the system, a presence of an individual within the environment of the first auxiliary device, wherein the implementing the first change is based on a defined preference of the individual and related to the first auxiliary device.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising:
 determining, by the system, the presence of the individual within the environment of the second auxiliary device, wherein the implementing the second change is based on another defined preference of the individual and related to the second auxiliary device.   
     
     
         18 . A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 establishing a communication between a gateway device and an internet of things device, wherein the gateway device is positioned at a first location within a structure and the internet of things device is positioned at a second location within the structure;   receiving a condition of an environment at the second location based on information received from a sensor associated with the internet of things device; and   instructing the internet of things device to adjust a heating parameter or a lighting parameter based on the condition of the environment, wherein the adjustment results in a modification to the condition of the environment at the second location.   
     
     
         19 . The machine-readable storage medium of  claim 18 , wherein the receiving the condition of the environment comprises detecting a presence of an individual within the second location, the operations further comprising determining an identity and a preference of the individual based upon information derived from a mobile device associated with the individual. 
     
     
         20 . The machine-readable storage medium of  claim 18 , the operations further comprising:
 transmitting a first signal to a lighting element for an activation of the lighting element, and   transmitting a second signal to the lighting element for a deactivation of the lighting element.
