"These requirements apply to humidifiers intended to receive and respond to communication signals or data relating to power billing rate or demand response or communication signals from a remote user interface@ such as a smart phone or computer. Appliances covered by SA1.1 are commonly identified as ""smart"" appliances or ""smart enabled"" and may interact with the ""Smart Grid@"" as described by the US Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007@ or other communication networks not identified as ""Smart Grid."" These requirements contemplate ""smart enabled"" technology as described by the U. S. Energy Independence and Security Act of ""007 that is integral with the appliance or incorporated as an accessory (wired to the appliance or wireless with a corresponding appliance receiver) on the appliance or in the same occupancy as the appliance. These requirements supplement those specified in this Standard. These requirements encompass accessory devices to which multiple appliances may communicate and be smart enabled by providing direction for investigation of such devices in addition to the requirements of standards generally applicable to those devices. These requirements do not address the integrity of any output signal or data to the network devices or interoperability with other devices. These requirements do not apply to communication network devices that control appliances via general purpose power ON/OFF@ building wiring devices@ panelboard mounted devices@ or utility meters. These requirements apply to wired or wireless remote commands from the user by way of: a) Controls only capable of communicating within line-of-sight of the appliance (e.g. infrared wireless); b) Short range controls only capable of communicating within proximity or same occupancy of the appliance but not necessarily within line-of-sight (e.g. short-wave radio frequency); or c) Long range telecommunication controls without proximity limits (e.g. WiFi@ local area networks@ wide area networks). These requirements include@ but are not limited to@ the following remote initiated functions: a) Monitored status (e.g. ON/OFF@ timer@ etc.); b) Humidity ON; c) Setting adjustment decrease; d) Setting adjustment increase; e) Cancel timer humidity ON; f) Extended delay timer humidity ON; g) Cancel timer humidity OFF; h) Extended delay timer humidity OFF; and i) Humidity OFF.
