Abstract: An HVAC controller receives signals from a plurality of sensors positioned in different spaces. The HVAC controller includes a housing and a user interface that is accessible from an exterior of the housing. A controller is configured to control the HVAC system using a control temperature that comprises a weighted combination of two or more of the current temperatures reported by the plurality of sensors. The controller tracks which of the different spaces are currently occupied and how long each of the currently occupied spaces have been occupied, and as a currently occupied space remains occupied for a longer period of time, the controller provides increasing weight over time to the current temperature reported by the sensor of the plurality of sensors that is in that currently occupied space, and controls the HVAC system in order to drive the control temperature towards a temperature set point.

Abstract: A programmable controller for homes and/or buildings and their related grounds, such as thermostat, that has a display and an external interface. The external interface may be use for uploading electronic images and/or other information from an external data source, and may use the uploaded electronic images and/or other information for programming and/or updating the controller and/or for viewing the electronic images and/or other information on the display of the controller.
