    • A lighting system in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first switching unit, a second switching unit and a base unit. The first switching unit has at least one user input device for receiving user inputs for controlling a remote light source. The first switching unit is configured to transmit a first input message in response to a user input received via the at least one user input device, and the second switching unit is coupled to the light source. The base unit is configured to receive the first input message and to correlate the first input message with the second switching unit based on data stored in the base unit, and the base unit is further configured to transmit a first command to the second switching unit based on the first input message. The second switching unit is configured to change an operational state of the light source in response to the first command.

    • Embodiments of the present disclosure generally pertain to systems and methods for estimating and indicating temperature characteristics of temperature controlled liquids. A system in accordance with one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure has a tank filled at least partially with a liquid, such as water, and the system has a plurality of temperature sensors mounted on the tank. During operation, a controller compares temperatures sensed by these temperature sensors to a predefined temperature profile for the liquid within the tank in order to estimate the likely temperature characteristics of such liquid. The controller then reports these estimated temperature characteristics via a user interface. As an example, the controller may estimate and report the amount of liquid above a threshold temperature that can be drawn from the tank. Based on the reported temperature characteristics, a user may make decisions about whether or how to use liquid drawn from the tank.
    • 本公开的实施例通常涉及用于估计和指示温度控制液体的温度特性的系统和方法。 根据本公开的一个示例性实施例的系统具有至少部分地填充有诸如水的液体的罐,并且该系统具有安装在罐上的多个温度传感器。 在操作期间,控制器将由这些温度传感器感测的温度与罐内液体的预定温度曲线进行比较,以估计这种液体的可能的温度特性。 然后,控制器通过用户界面报告这些估计的温度特性。 作为示例,控制器可以估计并报告高于可从罐吸取的阈值温度的液体量。 根据报告的温度特性,用户可以决定是否或如何使用从罐中吸取的液体。

    • A water heater having a modular control system. The water heater includes a tank, a heating element, a first controller, and a second controller. The heating element is coupled to the tank. The first controller is supported by the tank and includes a housing, a first communication port, a processor, and a first memory storing executable instructions that are executed by the processor. The first controller determines whether the first controller is connected to the second controller through the communication port. The first controller controls an operation of the water heater according to a first algorithm when the first controller is not connected to the second controller. The operation of the water heater is controlled based on an algorithm stored on the second controller when the first controller is connected to the second controller.
