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: A building controller for a building that includes a first zone and a second zone. The building controller includes a processing circuit configured to store zone modes for the building. The zone modes include zone activity modes each associated with an occupant activity within the zone and one or more environmental settings. The processing circuit is configured to receive an indication to operate the first zone in a first zone mode of the zone modes and an indication to operate the second zone in a second zone mode of the zone modes. The processing circuit is configured to operate one or more pieces of building equipment based on the first zone mode and operate the one or more pieces of building equipment based on the second zone mode.
