온보드 EC 창 제어기가 기술된다. 제어기는, 예를 들어 IGU 내에서, EC 창과 매우 근접하게 구성된다. 제어기는 하나 이상의 EC 페인을 갖는 IGU를 포함하는 창 조립체의 일부일 수 있으며, 따라서 EC 창과 매칭될 필요가없고 현장에서 설치될 필요가 없다. 본 명세서에 기술된 창 제어기는, 이들이 하나 이상의 EC 디바이스를 포함하는 IGU에 매칭되기 때문에, 그리고 창의 EC 페인(pane)에 대한 그들의 근접성은 종래의 제어기 구성과 관련된 다수의 문제점을 극복하기 때문에, 다수의 이점을 갖는다. 또한 전기변색 창(electrochromic windows)을 위한 자체-메쉬 네트워크(self-meshing network)가 기술된다. Onboard EC window controllers are described. The controllers are configured in close proximity to the EC window, for example, within the IGU. The controller may be part of a window assembly, which includes an IGU having one or more EC panes, and thus does not have to be matched with the EC window, and installed, in the field. The window controllers described herein have a number of advantages because they are matched to the IGU containing one or more EC devices and their proximity to the EC panes of the window overcomes a number of problems associated with conventional controller configurations. Also described are self-meshing networks for electrochromic windows.
