    Abstract: A heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system with automated flow direction detection is provided. The HVAC system includes one or more hoses configured to provide airflow from HVAC equipment, a bidirectional pressure sensor coupled to the hoses, and a controller coupled to the bidirectional pressure sensor. The controller is configured to receive a signal from the bidirectional pressure sensor, determine a direction of the airflow relative to the bidirectional pressure sensor based on the signal, correct the signal for a reversed hose polarity relative to the bidirectional sensor based on the direction of the airflow, and perform a control activity using the corrected signal

    Abstract: An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is a circuit for sensing heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) equipment. The circuit includes an input port that has an input voltage signal. The circuit includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) generating a first digital signal based on receiving a representation of a supply voltage, generating a second digital signal based on receiving the divided input voltage signal, and outputting the first digital signal, the second digital signal, and an output voltage reference. The circuit includes an amplifier coupled to the ADC and amplifying the output voltage reference to generate a supply voltage. The circuit includes a microprocessor coupled to the ADC and configured to calculate a first ratio of the first digital signal and the supply voltage. The microprocessor is configured to determine the input voltage signal by calculating a second ratio of the second digital signal and the first ratio.
