1. A thermostat configuration system comprising:
- (a) a first thermostat having a first processor, a first transceiver connected to the first processor, a first storage area and a first control button, the first storage area storing configuration data of the first thermostat, the first thermostat adapted to connect to a cloud server and a mobile device via the first transceiver and a first wireless router, the mobile device adapted to run an application;
(b) a second thermostat having a second processor, a second transceiver connected to the second processor, a second storage area and a second control button, the second storage area adapted to store the configuration data, the second thermostat adapted to connect to the cloud server and the mobile device via the second transceiver and a second wireless router;
(c) the first thermostat adapted to transmit the configuration data to the mobile device via the first transceiver and the first wireless router;
(d) the application running on the mobile device adapted to;
1) select the first thermostat as a first source device;
2) select the second thermostat as a first target device;
3) put the first target device into a receptive mode; and
4) after the second control button of the first target device is pressed, transmit the configuration data to the first target device, wherein the configuration data is stored in the second storage area of the first target device.

Abstract
A thermostat configuration system includes a first thermostat having a processor, a transceiver, a storage area and a control button. The processor generates configuration data for the first thermostat and stores the configuration data in the storage area of the first thermostat. The processor then causes the configuration data to be transmitted to multiple target devices using the transmitter, including at least a second thermostat.

8. A method of transferring thermostat configuration data from one thermostat to one or more other thermostats via the cloud comprising the steps of:
-
an application running on a mobile device; the application selecting a first thermostat as a source device; the application selecting a second thermostat as a target device; the application determining that the first thermostat and the second thermostat are compatible based on a first serial number and a first type of the source thermostat, and a second serial number and a second type of the target thermostat; the source device transmitting configuration data of the source device to the mobile device; the mobile device putting the target thermostat into a receptive mode; the mobile device transmitting the configuration data to the target thermostat; the target thermostat receiving the configuration data; and the target thermostat storing the configuration data into a storage of the target thermostat. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
