摘要：This invention relates to methods and systems for controlling appliances,particularly climate control appliances such as air conditioning units used in buildings.Embodiments of the invention provide methods and systems which provide a framework

of semi-autonomous sensors and actuators which can achieve climate control without theneed for centralised or explicit coordination. In certain embodiments, the climate controlsystem is capable of identifying suitable pairings of sensors and actuators and taking intoaccount actions of other actuators. The embodiments have particular application inbuildings where large numbers of individual sensors and actuators are deployed in an ad-hoc or unplanned manner over time, to but can communicate with each other. Theembodiments of the invention can provide improved efficiency, reduced infrastructurecosts, improved flexibility and can be deployed across multiple sites.
