Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure describe systems and methods for remotely modifying an operating state of a wireless radio on a first device via a second device. The system comprises a first device comprising a wireless radio, and a controller in a second device configured to communicate with the first device via a serial communication bus. The controller is configured to receive an input to trigger a change in an operating state of the wireless radio on the first device. Further, the controller is configured to transmit, via the serial communication bus, a signalling message to the first device to initiate change in the operating state of the wireless radio on the first device, wherein the first device is configured to modify the operating state of the wireless radio on the first device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure describe a Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system and method for generating fire alerts for an indoor environment having a plurality of zones. The method comprises receiving, from an outside air temperature (OAT) sensor of the HVAC system, a current outside temperature value for an outdoor environment. Further, the method comprises receiving, from a zone sensor associated with the HVAC system, a current zone temperature value associated with a corresponding zone, from among the plurality of zones, in the indoor environment. Furthermore, the method comprises detecting, when the current zone temperature value is greater than the current outside temperature value, whether a rate of change of the current zone temperature value is greater than a predefined threshold value. Additionally, the method comprises generating a fire alert for the zone based on the detection step.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a thermostat of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the thermostat comprising a controller operable to perform operations that include receiving an energy budget for a site, the energy budget including an allocated maximum total energy usage by energy loads of the site over a predetermined time duration. The method further includes generating an energy usage forecast for the energy loads over the predetermined time duration; and based at least in part on a determination that the energy usage forecast exceeds the energy budget, generating an energy usage reduction plan. The energy usage reduction plan includes instructions operable to control one or more of the energy loads such that an actual total energy usage by the energy loads over the predetermined time duration does not exceed the energy budget. The energy loads include the HVAC system.

Abstract: A networked heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system is provided. The networked HVAC system includes HVAC equipment deployed in a building and an element of HVAC equipment, which is communicatively coupled with the HVAC equipment to collect types of diagnostic information relating to the HVAC equipment. The element of HVAC equipment is normally operable in a normal mode and is selectively operable in a service mode. The normal mode is characterized in that diagnostic information is collected by the element of HVAC equipment at a first rate. The service mode is characterized in that diagnostic information is collected by the element of HVAC equipment at a second rate, which is greater than the first rate.
