Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The current application is related to environmental-conditioning systems controlled by intelligent controllers and, in particular, to an intelligent-thermostat-controlled HVAC system that detects and ameliorates control coupling between intelligent thermostats. Control coupling can lead to inefficient HVAC operation. When control coupling is detected, a settings-adjustment directive is sent to at least one intelligent thermostat to adjust one or more intelligent-thermostat settings, including an HVAC-cycle-initiation delay parameter, swing parameter, and a parameter that indicates whether or not an intelligent thermostat should first obtain confirmation or permission before initiating an HVAC cycle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A thermostat comprising: a thermostat housing; a user interface including an electronic display and one or more input devices; one or more temperature sensors for determining an ambient air temperature in an area surrounding the thermostat; one or more processors disposed within the thermostat housing and coupled to the user interface, the one or more processors being in operative communication with the one or more temperature sensors, in operati…
