Claim 15:
16. A non-transitory, machine-readable, storage device that includes instructions that, when executed by ceiling fan motor control circuitry causes the control circuitry to:
detect, via 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;
receive, from one or more temperature sensors in the space, data indicative of a temperature in the space;
receive, from one or more relative humidity sensors disposed in the space, data indicative of a relative humidity in the space;
determine a rotational speed of the ceiling fan motor based on:
the detected activity level of the occupant of the space;
the received temperature data; and
the received relative humidity data; and

determine a direction of rotation of the ceiling fan motor based on:
the detected activity level of the occupant of the space;
the received temperature data; and
the received relative humidity data.
