    摘要: A method for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system diagnostics includes sending a first instruction to a thermostat to shut down an HVAC system. A user is instructed to minimize background noise. A second instruction is sent to the thermostat to turn on the HVAC system. A third instruction is sent to the thermostat to set a temperature setpoint below or above a value of a room temperature. Indoor unit sound data is captured for a second time period. The baseline sound data is subtracted from the indoor unit sound data to determine normalized indoor unit sound data. Expected sound signatures of the indoor unit are identified. The normalized indoor unit sound data is compared to the expected sound signatures. In response to determining that an expected sound signature for a blower is missing from the normalized indoor unit sound data, it is determined that the blower has failed.

    摘要: A method for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system diagnostics includes, in response to determining that a triggering event has occurred, entering a filter diagnostics mode. A first instruction is sent to a thermostat to shut down an HVAC system. A user is instructed to locate and remove a filter. The filter is classified as acceptable or dirty. In response to classifying the filter as acceptable, the user is instructed to the turn on the HVAC system. In response to determining based on the triggering event that a desired mode is a cooling mode, a first value of a room temperature is determined. The user is instructed to set a temperature setpoint below the first value. A second value of the room temperature is determined. In response to determining that the second value is less than the first value, it is determined that the HVAC system operates properly.

    摘要: An analysis device is configured to operate a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system and to receive an audio signal from a sound sensor, wherein the audio signal is associated with a condensing unit of the HVAC system. The device is configured to determine an audio signature from the audio signal and to determine whether a motor of the condensing unit is operating within a mode of operation based on the audio signature. The device is further configured to determine a fault type that is associated with the audio signature and to output a recommendation based on the determined fault type.

    摘要: An HVAC system includes a high-pressure subsystem and a low-pressure subsystem. After determining that refrigerant leak diagnostics should be performed, a controllable valve is closed between a condenser and compressor of the HVAC system. The compressor then operates until a predetermined input refrigerant pressure is reached. After the predetermined input refrigerant pressure is reached, operation of the compressor is stopped. After stopping operation of the compressor and waiting at least a predetermined wait time, the pressure in the low-pressure subsystem of the HVAC system is monitored. A rate of change of the pressure in the low-pressure subsystem is determined. If the rate of change is negative and a magnitude of the rate of change is greater than a threshold value, a leak location is determined to be in the low-pressure subsystem.

    摘要: A system for authenticating components using software security tokens receives, from a remote server, a security token that is a software security artifact that is used to uniquely identify a component. The system programs the security token into the component, where programming the security token into the component comprises encoding the component with the security token such that the security token in retrievable upon request for authenticating the component. The system generates a report file comprising the programmed security token. The programmed security token is used to authenticate the component. The system transmits the report file to the remote server.

    摘要: A component authentication and validation system requests a token server to provide tokens for a product line. The system receives, from the token server, the requested tokens. The system associates each token with a unique identifier that uniquely identifies the token. The system receives, from a production line server, a request to transmit a particular number of tokens to program the components associated with the product line. The system receives, from the production line server, a report file comprising a programmed token that is programmed into a component associated with the product line. The programmed token is used to authenticate the component. The system registers the token with the token server, such that inquiries about the token are tracked by the token server.
