Abstract: A control system for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a controller. The controller is configured to control the HVAC system to condition an air flow based on first feedback from a first sensor of the HVAC system, receive second feedback from a second sensor of the HVAC system, and control the HVAC system to condition the air flow based on the second feedback instead of the first feedback when the first feedback from the first sensor being no longer available. The first feedback is indicative of a first operating parameter of the HVAC system, and the second feedback is indicative of a second operating parameter of a refrigerant flowing through the HVAC system.

Abstract: A heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) includes a processor and a plurality of sensors. The plurality of sensors can collect a first set of data indicative of environmental conditions of a structure in which the HVAC control device is located. The HVAC control device can control operational settings of an HVAC system that can supply conditioned air to the structure and operate the HVAC system in a default mode. The HVAC control device can also receive a second set of data collected by one or more sensors of a secondary input device and receive a signal from the secondary input device. Additionally, the HVAC control device can implement an override mode of the control device based on the signal. Implementation of the override mode effectuates a change in the operational settings of the HVAC system.

Abstract: A control system for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes control circuitry having a storage device and a microcontroller. The storage device is configured to store faults. The microcontroller is configured to monitor for a condition of the HVAC system associated with a fault, store a fault in the storage device when the condition is detected, identify whether a duration of time that the fault has been stored in the storage device exceeds a threshold time period, and clear the fault from the storage device when the duration exceeds the threshold time period.

Abstract: The techniques described herein provide systems and methods for controlling climate characteristics in a building. The control system of a climate management system may calculate a default airflow rate for each zone in the building based on a minimum permitted airflow rate of climate control equipment, a maximum permitted airflow rate of the climate control equipment, and the number of zones serviced by the climate control equipment. The control system may also adjust the default airflow rate for a zone to a customized airflow rate based on a user input. The control system may adjust the default airflow rate to the customized airflow rate if the customized airflow rate is greater than or equal to the minimum permitted airflow rate. The control system may adjust the default airflow rate to the minimum permitted airflow rate if the customized airflow rate is less than the minimum permitted airflow rate.
