Abstract: A method of operating a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system by a thermostat to control an environmental parameter of a plurality of conditioned spaces is described. The method includes detecting a first value of the environmental parameter of the first conditioned space, the first value being detected by the thermostat, controlling the HVAC system based on the first value of the environmental parameter and a first setpoint for the environmental parameter, receiving, from a first occupancy indicator, a first indication of occupancy of a second conditioned space of the plurality of conditioned spaces, the first occupancy indicator being a human actuated occupancy indicator, and controlling the HVAC system based at least in part on the received first indication of occupancy of the second conditioned space.

Abstract: A gas valve assembly includes a gas valve and a control circuit. The gas valve is configured for variably controlling a flow of gas through the gas valve assembly. The control circuit includes a controller programmed to determine a first setting for the gas valve in response to a received commanded flow, adjust the first setting to a second setting based on a measured temperature when the measured temperature is one that may induce changes to the flow of gas through the gas valve assembly, and control the gas valve based on the second setting.

Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, a hot surface ignition module is configured to receive user input settings for one or more HVAC system configuration parameters wirelessly transmitted by a mobile device to the hot surface ignition module. The hot surface ignition module is configured to store the received user input settings for the one or more HVAC system configuration parameters to control the at least one HVAC component according to the received user input settings for the one or more HVAC system configuration parameters. The hot surface ignition module may be configured such that the NFC short-range wireless communication with the mobile device enables the hot surface ignition module to receive and store the user input settings for the one or more HVAC system configuration parameters without requiring the hot surface ignition module to be connected with an electrical power source, Wi-Fi, and/or cellular service

Abstract: A monitoring system for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of a building is disclosed. The monitoring system includes at least one processor and a computer readable medium that includes instructions executable by the at least one processor. The instructions include: determining a capacity of a filter of the HVAC system based at least on dimensions of the filter; determining a threshold based on the capacity of the filter; monitoring a state of a circulator blower of the HVAC system; and calculating a filter usage based on the state of the circulator blower and one of (i) a power consumed by the circulator blower and (ii) an operation mode of the HVAC system. The instructions also include generating, in response to the filter usage exceeding the threshold, an alert suggesting replacement of the filter.

Abstract: Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of systems and methods for controlling inducer motor speed. In an exemplary embodiment, a method includes changing stator voltage of an inducer motor (e.g., by changing a firing angle of a triac, using a transistor, a silicon controlled rectifier or semiconductor controlled rectifier (SCR), other switching device, etc.); determining actual inducer motor speed (e.g., by using a hall effect sensor or other speed sensor, etc.); and after determining the actual inducer motor speed, changing the motor stator voltage (e.g., by changing the firing angle of the triac, etc.) to a value at which the actual inducer motor speed is controllably regulated and/or maintained substantially at a set speed.

Abstract: A method of controlling a gas furnace system includes controlling a motor of a draft inducer to increase a speed of the motor in response to a call for heat, receiving pressure signals output by a pressure transducer, receiving signals indicating whether a pressure switch is in a first state or a second state, and determining a first status of the pressure transducer as reliable, unreliable, or questionable at a first time based on the received pressure signals from the pressure transducer, the signals indicating whether the pressure switch is in the first state or the second state, and a first status of the motor of the draft inducer at the first time. Operation of the motor of the draft inducer is stopped when the first status of the pressure transducer indicates that the pressure transducer is unreliable.
