Abstract:
A thermostat for controlling HVAC equipment via one or more control wires includes a user interface, a wiring terminal, and a processing circuit. The user interface is configured to display output to a user. The wiring terminal includes one or more connection points. The processing circuit is configured to determine one or more wiring instructions for wiring the thermostat with the HVAC equipment and cause the user interface to display the one or more instructions. The instructions instruct the user to connect the control wires to the connection points.
Abstract:
A controller for controlling an environmental condition of a building via building equipment includes a user interface configured to present information to a user, an air quality sensor configured to sense indoor air quality conditions, a communications interface configured to communicate with a server system and receive outdoor air quality data from the server system, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to generate indoor air quality data based on the sensed indoor air quality data conditions sensed by the air quality sensor, receive, via the communications interface, the outdoor air quality data from the server system, and generate one or more interfaces indicating the indoor air quality conditions and the outdoor air quality conditions based on the indoor air quality data and the outdoor air quality data and cause the user interface to display the one or more interfaces.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for creating and using equipment definitions are provided. An archetypal device is selected and used to identify one or more data points associated with the archetypal device. A point definition is generated for each identified data point associated with the archetypal device. Each point definition includes an abstraction of the corresponding data point that is applicable to multiple different devices of the same type of building equipment. The generated point definitions are used to create an equipment definition for a type of building equipment. The equipment definition can be used to identify data points associated with other devices of the same type of building equipment and to automatically create equipment objects representing such devices.
