    Abstract: Systems and methods for using multi-criteria state machines to manage alarming states and pre-alarming states of a hazard detection system are described herein. The multi-criteria state machines can include one or more sensor state machines that can control the alarming states and one or more system state machines that can control the pre-alarming states. Each state machine can transition among any one of its states based on sensor data values, hush events, and transition conditions. The transition conditions can define how a state machine transitions from one state to another. The hazard detection system can use a dual processor arrangement to execute the multi-criteria state machines according to various embodiments. The dual processor arrangement can enable the hazard detection system to manage the alarming and pre-alarming states in a manner that promotes minimal power usage while simultaneously promoting reliability in hazard detection and alarming functionality.

    Abstract translation: 这里描述了使用多标准状态机来管理危险检测系统的报警状态和预警状态的系统和方法。 多标准状态机可以包括一个或多个可以控制报警状态的传感器状态机以及可以控制预报警状态的一个或多个系统状态机。 每个状态机可以基于传感器数据值,休眠事件和转换条件在其状态的任一状态下转换。 转换条件可以定义状态机如何从一个状态转换到另一个状态。 危害检测系统可以使用双处理器布置来根据各种实施例执行多标准状态机。 双处理器布置可以使危险检测系统能够以促进最小功率使用的方式来管理报警和预报警状态,同时提高危害检测和报警功能中的可靠性。

    Abstract: A user-friendly programmable thermostat is described that includes a body having a central electronic display surrounded by a ring that can be rotated and pressed inwardly to provide user input in a simple and elegant fashion. The current temperature and setpoint temperature are graphically displayed as prominent tick marks over a range of background tick marks on the electronic display. Different colors can be displayed to indicate currently active HVAC functions, and different intensities of colors can be displayed to indicate an amount of heating or cooling required to reach a target temperature. The setpoint temperature for the device can be altered by user rotation of the rotatable ring, and the programmed schedule can be displayed to the user and altered by the user by virtue of rotations and inward pressings of the ring. Initial device set up and installation, the viewing of device operation, the editing of various settings, and the viewing of historical energy usage information are made simple and elegant by virtue of the described form factor, display modalities, and user input modalities of the device.
