Abstract: A heating and/or cooling equipment (HVAC) control system includes a subbase a thermostat releasably engageable with the subbase. An encoder is physically associated with the subbase. The provides information to the thermostat when the thermostat is coupled to the subbase. The information at least uniquely identifies the thermostat to a centralized HVAC system provided to control HVAC related functionalities in each of a plurality of rooms in a building.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for remote control of a thermostat by a network-based server, when the thermostat is not connected to a local or wide-area network. A network-based server calculates a modified temperature profile for a thermostat based on a utility's time-of-use pricing and/or weather forecasts. After the server has calculated the modified temperature profile, it is provided to a mobile device via a wide-area network, and the mobile device provides the modified temperature profile directly to the thermostat when the mobile device is within range of the thermostat.
