Abstract
Environment controller and method for controlling an environmental characteristic in an area of a building based on concurrent BLE requests. The environment controller receives a plurality of concurrent environmental characteristic target values originating from a plurality of BLE enabled user devices. The plurality of concurrent environmental characteristic target values is forwarded from the plurality of BLE enabled user devices to the environment controller via one or more BLE proxy device. The environment controller applies an algorithm to generate one or more command for controlling at least one controlled appliance based on the plurality of concurrent environmental characteristic target values. The environment controller further transmits the one or more command to the at least one controlled appliance. Examples of concurrent environmental characteristic target values include target temperatures, target humidity levels, target CO2 levels, target lightning levels, etc.
