Abstract: The present disclosure includes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system having a control system suitable to control operation of a device in the HVAC system. The control system may include a zone control panel that may control operation of the device using power-line communication. Accordingly, the zone control panel and the device may be both communicatively and electrically coupled via one or more power lines. To that end, the zone control panel may determine a primary address identifying the device and/or a secondary address indicating the one or more power lines electrically coupled to the device. Further, the zone control panel may communicate with and/or coordinate operation of the device by transmitting data messages to the device via the one or more power lines based on the primary address and/or the secondary address.

Abstract: A control system of a heat, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. In some embodiments, the HVAC system includes an electronic display configured to concurrently display a plurality of zone icons that indicate a current setpoint mode corresponding to a plurality of building zones, wherein the current setpoint mode comprises a home setpoint mode and an away setpoint mode. Additionally, the HVAC system may include a control circuitry communicatively coupled to the electronic display. The control circuitry may be configured to toggle the current setpoint mode associated with the plurality of building zones between the home setpoint mode and the away setpoint mode based on a received user input. Further, the control circuitry may be configured to control operation of the HVAC system based on the current setpoint mode associated with each building zone of the plurality of building zones.

Abstract: A system for performing software updates for building devices of a building includes a thermostat associated with one of multiple zones of the building and a controller. The controller includes a processing circuit configured to store thermostat software in a memory device of the processing circuit, the stored software being software for the thermostat and determine, by communicating with the thermostat, whether thermostat software run on the thermostat is newer or older than the thermostat software stored in the memory device. The processing circuit is configured to update the thermostat software run on the thermostat with the thermostat software stored in the memory device in response to a determination that the thermostat software run on the thermostat is older than the thermostat software stored in the memory device and operate building equipment to control an environmental condition of the building.
