    Abstract: A user-friendly programmable thermostat is described that includes a circular body having a large central display surrounded by a ring that can be rotated an pressed inward by a user so as to receive user input in a simple elegant fashion. Different colors can be displayed to the user to indicate currently active HVAC functions, and different shades of colors can be displayed to a user to indicate an estimated amount of time and/or energy for reaching a target temperature. The thermostat is wall mountable and is made up of a head unit removeably mounted to a backplate. A locking mechanism can be provided so as to increase security against unauthorized removal of the head unit. The backplate can be adapted to be mounted on a wall so as to be level, for example by including a bubble level on the backplate. One or more vents are preferably located on the sides of the body, such as in a gap beneath the translatably mounted ring, and/or in a gap between the head unit and the backplate. The target temperature for the device can be altered in response to sensing rotation of the rotating ring, and the programmed schedule can be displayed to and altered by the user in response to sensing rotation of the ring and the translational movement of the ring. Historical information such as temperature and cost information can be displayed to a user in response to sensing rotating of the rotating ring. One or more device settings can be displayed to and edited by a user in response to sensing rotating of the rotating member and the translational movement. According to some embodiments, text characters can be entered by the user.

    Abstract: HVAC methods and systems are provided for issuing a component change notification to a user when an air filter or other replaceable component should be changed. In some instances, an HVAC controller may solicit information from a user that is related to one or more features of the replaceable component (e.g. air filter) of the HVAC system. This can include, size, type, model number and/or any other suitable feature, parameter and/or property. In some cases, the time before a component change notification message is issued by the HVAC controller may be dependent on, determined by, and/or adjusted based on the received information. In some instances, the HVAC controller may display at least some of the received information in a subsequently issued component change notification message.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an automatic dust-removing and cleaning device for a filter net of an air-conditioner which has a filter net (2) with an end to end sealing ring structure. The filter net (2) comprises a net frame (21) provided with gear sockets (211), and a mesh (22). A driving gear (5) is installed at one corner of an air inlet frame (1) of the air conditioner and meshed with the gear sockets (211) of the net frame (21). Driven gears (6) are installed at the other three corners of the air inlet frame (1) of the air conditioner and meshed with the gear sockets (211) of the net frame (21). A drive mechanism (12) drives the driving gear (5) to rotate. A dust-collecting box (3) is installed at the bottom of the air inlet frame (1) of the air conditioner and provided with a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet is connected to a water inlet pipe (8) and the water outlet is connected to a water outlet pipe (9). A dust removing brush (4) is installed on the dust-collecting box (3), located below the filter net (2) and in contact with the filter net (2) simultaneously.

    Abstract: A filter sensor to monitor an air filter in an air conditioning system is disclosed. The filter sensor includes a housing having an interior passage. The housing is located in relation to an air vent of the air conditioning system. A propeller is mounted in the interior passage. The propeller is rotated by the filtered air flow of the air conditioning system. A motion sensor is provided in proximity to the propeller or its shaft. A controller is coupled to the motion sensor to determine the rotational speed of the propeller and correlate the rotational speed of the propeller with the condition of the filter. An indicator is coupled to the controller to indicate a status of the air filter.
