    摘要: Methods, controllers, and the like are disclosed that can include determining an occurrence of an event (where the occurrence of the event is determined by a controller of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, and the HVAC system controls a temperature of air in an environment by controlling a setpoint temperature of conditioned air provided by the HVAC system to the environment). Such methods, controllers, and the like can further include, in response to a determination that the event has occurred, altering the temperature of the air in the environment by executing a sleep profile, where the sleep profile is executed by the controller and execution of the sleep profile adjusts the setpoint temperature as a function of time over a time period, such that the temperature of the air in the environment leads an occupant in the environment into a sleep state or a wakeful state.

    摘要: A thermostat method includes receiving temperature readings from a remote temperature sensor; operating a processor in a first mode and a second mode, where the processor uses more average power when operating in the second mode than when operating in the first mode; and repeatedly transitioning the processor between operating in the first mode and operating in the second mode. Transitions from operating in the first mode to operating the second mode are caused at least in part by an expiration of a first time interval. The thermostat receives one or more of the temperature readings from the remote temperature sensor while the processor is operating in the second mode. The method also includes adjusting a length of the first time interval based at least in part on an estimate of how fast the temperature readings from the remote temperature sensor are approaching a threshold.

    摘要: Provided are embodiments for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for providing sensor information and sensor communication over relay-controlled power line. The system can include a controller of the HVAC system and a first power line converter coupled to the controller. The first power line converter is configured to receive data over a serial bus, convert the data into a communication message for transmission onto a power line, wherein the power line is configured to transmit power and communication messages, and transmit the communication message over the power line. Also provided are embodiments for transmitting and receiving a communication message over relay-controlled power line.
