Claim 8:
9. A ceiling fan control method, comprising:
detecting, by one or more sensors that include at least one sensor capable of detecting a motionless occupant, an activity level of the occupant of a space that includes a ceiling fan motor;
determining, by ceiling fan motor control circuitry communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors, a rotational speed of the ceiling fan motor based on:
the detected activity level of the occupant of the space;
temperature data received from one or more temperature sensors disposed in the space; and
humidity data received from one or more humidity sensors disposed in the space and

determining, by ceiling fan motor control circuitry, a direction of rotation of the ceiling fan motor based on:
the detected activity level of the occupant of the space;
the temperature data received from the one or more temperature sensors; and
the humidity data received from the one or more humidity sensors.
