Claim:
1. A method comprising: transmitting a signal to a pump of an air mattress to set the pressure of the air mattress to an initial pressure value for when the air mattress is occupied; receiving, at a central controller, an input that activates a user preference condition for an automatic adjustment feature of the pressure in the air mattress, wherein the user preference condition has a delay preference identifying a threshold time period to pass after receiving the indication that the air mattress is unoccupied before engaging the automatic adjustment feature; detecting that a difference between the initial pressure value and a sensed pressure of the air mattress is greater than a threshold; receiving, at the central controller, an indication that the air mattress is unoccupied; determining that the user preference condition has been met after receiving the indication; and based on the detection and the determining, adjusting the pressure of the air mattress to an unoccupied pressure value that is different than the initial pressure value, wherein the unoccupied pressure value corresponds to the initial pressure value for when the air mattress is occupied; and maintaining the air mattress at the unoccupied pressure value.
