Claim 0:
1. A ceiling fan controller, comprising:
memory circuitry; and
ceiling fan motor control circuitry to adjust a rotational speed and a direction of rotation of an operatively coupled ceiling fan motor based on an activity level of an occupant of a space that includes the ceiling fan motor, the activity level of the occupant determined using one or more sensors that include at least one sensor capable of detecting a motionless occupant;
the ceiling fan motor control circuitry to determine the rotational speed and the direction of rotation of the ceiling fan motor based, at least in part, on information received via the communication interface circuitry, wherein the received information includes data representative of a current date and a current time-of-day.
