摘要： An intelligent thermostat communicates with threat detectors to allow periodic remote testing of the detector. The real-time clock and calendar functions of the thermostat allow the consumer to program the day, time, and frequency of the testing. The thermostat then communicates a test control signal to each of the detectors to initiate the self-test. The communication may be wired or wireless. During testing the thermostat displays a detector test screen. Upon completion of the self-test, the thermostat displays a test results screen for user confirmation. This results screen will indicate that the test passed or failed along with any diagnostic information provided by the detector. The thermostat also provides a test initiation screen from which the consumer may initiate a detector self-test manually. Loss of communications with a detector is also communicated to the user, as is the location of the detector that first identified a threat.

摘要： A microcontroller (122) uses a two-stage algorithm to sample the state of an AC switch (124) connected directly to an input pin (126). An AC line signal (102) is sampled by a pre-filtering routine that samples the AC line signal (102) to determine when a peak or trough is occurring and generates a trigger signal at or near the occurrence of a peak or trough. By basing the triggering signal on the state of the AC line signal (102), the triggering signal is independent of any shift of the phase angle of the AC line signal (102) and the microcontroller's operating clock (152). A switch sampling routine (204) is initiated at each occurrence of the triggering signal which samples the state of the AC switch (124). Successive sampled values are shifted into a shift register (150) on the microcontroller (122). Another routine (208) is periodically initiated by the functional software of the microcontroller (122) to update a flag, indicating the status of the AC switch (124), based on the contents of the shift register (150).
摘要翻译： 微控制器（122）使用两级算法对直接连接到输入引脚（126）的AC开关（124）的状态进行采样。 通过对AC线信号（102）进行采样的预滤波例程来对AC线信号（102）进行采样，以确定何时发生峰值或谷值，并在峰值或谷值出现或接近峰值或波谷时产生触发信号。 通过将触发信号基于AC线信号（102）的状态，触发信号与AC线信号（102）和微控制器的工作时钟（152）的相位角的任何偏移无关。 在触发信号的每次出现时开始开关采样程序（204），其对AC开关（124）的状态进行采样。 逐次采样值被移入微控制器（122）上的移位寄存器（150）中。 基于移位寄存器（150）的内容，由微控制器（122）的功能软件周期性地启动另一例程（208），以更新指示AC开关（124）的状态的标志。

摘要： Upon detection of a high carbon monoxide condition, an intelligent thermostat regulates operation of appliances that have sources of combustion which could be the source of or may exacerbate the high carbon monoxide condition. This hazardous condition is detected by a detector and communicated to the intelligent thermostat by wired or wireless communications. The intelligent thermostat then communicates with these appliances either via wired or wireless communications. The intelligent thermostat may also operate a ventilation system to flush the environment with fresh air to minimize or eliminate the hazardous condition. External and internal temperature sensors allow coordinated operation of the ventilating and heating systems to flush the environment with fresh air without causing a freezing condition to exist within the environment.
