Claim 11:
12. A method comprising:
communicating with a plurality of remote sites, each site including a respective network of optically switchable windows and associated controllers and sensors,
causing a first set of voltage and/or current parameters to be measured at a plurality of components of at least one of the respective networks,
storing the information received and the first set of measured parameters as a baseline characterization of the network of optically switchable windows, wherein the plurality of components comprise at least one of the optically switchable windows, the associated controllers and the associated sensors,
using the baseline characterization for comparison to subsequently measured parameters to identify a variation in the subsequently measured parameters from the baseline characterization,
in response to the variation in the subsequently measured parameters from the baseline characterization exceeding a threshold value, identifying a malfunctioning or degrading component of the plurality of components, and
performing a remedial action in response to the identified malfunctioning or degrading component of the plurality of components, wherein the remedial action comprises adjusting at least one or more voltages and/or one or more other parameters applied to at least one of the plurality components.
