Abstract: A system includes primary zone control circuitry coupled to a set of zones, wherein the primary zone control circuitry is configured to communicate a first control signal to master control circuitry via a first communication bus, communicate one or more second control signals to one or more corresponding second zones, and communicate one or more third control signals to secondary zone control circuitry via a second communication bus. The master control circuitry is configured to control a first zone airflow to a first zone based on the first control signal. Each control signal of the one or more second control signals is configured to control a respective second zone airflows to the one or more corresponding second zones. The secondary zone control circuitry is configured to control one or more third zone airflows to one or more corresponding third zones based on the one or more third control signals.

Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system may include a HVAC unit that may control air flow, a first control system that may directly control operation of equipment in the HVAC unit, and a second control system communicatively coupled to the first control system. The second control system may be located in a different zone of a building as compared to the first control system, such that the second control system may receive a request to adjust the air flow output by the HVAC unit and send a command to the first control system based on the request. The command may cause the first control system to adjust the operation of the equipment in the HVAC unit to cause the air flow output by the HVAC unit to be adjusted according to the request.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and methods for dynamically generating and/or displaying a barcode for installing a thermostat. The dynamically generated barcode may indicate information related to a registering a warranty for the thermostat, conditioned air equipment information, and the like. The thermostat includes conditioned air equipment determination logic that determines conditioned air equipment. The thermostat also includes barcode generation logic that dynamically generates the barcode based on the conditioned air equipment. Authorized service personnel may scan the barcode with a mobile device and pair the mobile device with the thermostat based on information received via scanning of the barcode. To that end, the disclosed systems and methods may dynamically generate the barcode used to pair the thermostat with the mobile device, along with providing additional information relevant to installing the thermostat.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and methods that facilitate quickly and conveniently addressing faults experienced by conditioned air equipment by dynamically generating a barcode on a thermostat. In some embodiments, the thermostat includes fault determination logic that determines that the conditioned air equipment is experiencing a fault and barcode generation logic that generates a barcode based on the fault. The authorized service personnel may scan the barcode using a mobile device and receive information about the fault. In this manner, the dynamically generated barcode may be used to quickly and conveniently address faults of the conditioned air equipment, repair the conditioned air equipment, perform maintenance on the conditioned air equipment, and the like.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a control system for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system. The control system includes a user interface configured to receive a first input indicative of a first expected operating range of a first parameter in a first zone and to receive a second input indicative of a second expected operating range of a second parameter in a second zone. A first set point for the first parameter is within the first expected operating range and a second set point for the second parameter is within the second expected operating range. The control system includes a controller configured to manage operation of the HVAC system and to provide a first alert in response to the first parameter being outside of the first expected operating range and a second alert in response to the second parameter being outside of the second expected operating range.
