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 climate management system includes a controller configured to receive an input indicative of an airflow rate setpoint for each zone of a plurality of zones of the climate management system. The controller is further configured to determine a respective airflow rate adjustment for each airflow rate setpoint and adjust each airflow rate setpoint based on the respective airflow rate adjustment to determine a respective adjusted airflow rate for each zone of the plurality of zones, where the respective airflow rate adjustment for each zone of the plurality of zones is based on a current annual season of a plurality of annual seasons.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system having a zone control panel implemented to control operation of equipment in the HVAC system. The zone control panel may determine occupancy and/or an indication of occupancy of a space in the HVAC system based at least in part on motion detected by an occupancy sensor. Accordingly, the zone control panel may control the operation of the equipment based at least in part on information received from an occupancy sensor. As such, the zone control panel may more rapidly condition air and/or more suitably adjust the airflow to an occupied space in comparison with an unoccupied space.

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.
