DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the field of electrical engineering. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system and method for coordinated or controlled operation of fan and one or more appliances.
BACKGROUND
Traditionally, air conditioners and fans operate independently without any form of interaction to optimize energy consumption. This lack of coordination often leads to suboptimal energy inefficiency, where air conditioners continue to run at high power levels, even in scenarios where a fan could effectively complement the cooling process by maintaining thermal comfort at reduced energy expenditure. Conventional cooling setups fail to adopt an integrated approach, resulting in avoidable energy wastage and increased operational costs.
Existing solutions in the market primarily focus on individual smart features for either ACs or fans, but they lack a cohesive and automated mechanism that ensures optimal energy usage by dynamically adjusting their operation based on real-time conditions. These systems also face compatibility issues, as many smart control solutions are designed to work only with specific brands or proprietary ecosystems, restricting user flexibility. Furthermore, many smart home central hub solutions require line-of-sight communication with IR-controlled appliances, creating spatial constraints and reducing their effectiveness in larger or obstructed spaces.
One of the key challenges in current energy management systems is the lack of adaptive, automated scheduling mechanisms that intelligently regulate both AC and fan operation based on factors such as room occupancy, temperature fluctuations, and user preferences. This limitation contributes to higher electricity consumption, increased carbon footprint, and environmental concerns.
Moreover, existing products that attempt to control both AC and fan functions often enforce brand restrictions, limiting their applicability across different manufacturers and reducing consumer choice. Users are forced to remain within a single-brand ecosystem, hindering interoperability with third-party appliances.
Beyond individual energy consumption, the environmental impact of inefficient cooling is becoming increasingly significant. The thermal load released by AC units, particularly in densely populated urban areas, contributes to the urban heat island effect, exacerbating climate challenges and increasing overall energy demand. A more efficient, integrated control system for coordinated fan and AC operation could not only reduce household and commercial energy consumption but also contribute to a more sustainable urban environment.
Therefore, there is a clear need for a system and method that enables seamless, automated, and optimized control of both fan and air conditioning appliances. Such a system should eliminate brand restrictions by ensuring cross-compatibility with various AC and fan brands, overcome line-of-sight limitations to improve connectivity and control, and implement intelligent scheduling and automation to maximize energy efficiency, reduce thermal load emissions, addressing both energy conservation and environmental sustainability.
