    摘要: A control system may include a thermostat device and boiler control device. The thermostat device may be configured to receive electrical power from second wiring terminals and provide control signals to boiler control device using a second radio when wires are not present in first wiring terminals. The thermostat device may also be configured to receive electrical power from the first wiring terminals and provide the coded control signals to the boiler control device through the first wiring terminals when wires are present in the first wiring terminals. The boiler control device may be configured to receive the control signals from the thermostat device using a third radio and selectively couple the third wiring terminals to fifth wiring terminals to selectively control activation of the boiler-based heating system when wires are not present in fourth wiring terminals.

    摘要: Provided according to one or more embodiments is a thermostat having a housing, the housing including a forward-facing surface, the thermostat comprising a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor disposed inside the housing for sensing occupancy in the vicinity of the thermostat. The PIR motion sensor has a radiation receiving surface and is able to detect the lateral movement of an occupant in front of the forward-facing surface of the housing. The thermostat further comprises a grille member having one or more openings and included along the forward-facing surface of the housing, the grille member being placed over the radiation receiving surface of the PIR motion sensor. The grille member is configured and dimensioned to visually conceal and protect the PIR motion sensor disposed inside the housing, the visual concealment promoting a visually pleasing quality of the thermostat, while at the same time permitting the PIR motion sensor to effectively detect the lateral movement of the occupant. In one embodiment, the grille member openings are slit-like openings oriented along a substantially horizontal direction.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a temperature control system having multiple programmable, interchangeable docking thermostats that work cooperatively making it easier for a user to achieve desired temperature control in an enclosure with increased energy efficiency. One embodiment provides first and second docking thermostats each having a microprocessor in communication with at least one or more temperature sensors, an electrical connector connected to the microprocessor and a user interface. Also provided is a first HVAC docking device directly wired to the HVAC wire system and a second docking device that connects to a power source other than the HVAC wire system, where each of the docking devices have an electrical connector mateable to the electrical connector of the docking thermostats. The first and second docking thermostats may interchangeably mate to the docking devices, and either may control the HVAC system to achieve a desired comfort level with increased energy efficiency.
