16. A controller comprising:
-
a programmable schedule, the schedule having a number of schedule parameters; and
a user interface, adapted and configured to provide one or more interview questions to a user, and to accept one or more user responses to the one or more interview questions from the user;
wherein, the one or more schedule parameters are modified based on the user responses provided by the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A controller comprising:
-
schedule means for providing a programmable schedule, the programmable schedule having a number of schedule parameters; and
user interface means adapted and configured to provide one or more interview questions to a user, and to accept one or more user responses to the one or more interview questions from the user;
wherein, the controller modifies one or more of the schedule parameters based on the user responses provided by the user interface.

24. A method of programming a schedule of a controller having a user interface, the schedule having a number of schedule parameters, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing one or more interview questions to a user via the user interface;
accepting one or more user responses to the one or more interview questions from the user via the user interface;
translating the one or more user responses to form a translated response; and
modifying one or more of the schedule parameters based on the translated response. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A controller comprising:
-
a programmable schedule, the schedule having a number of schedule parameters;
a user interface, adapted and configured to provide one or more interview questions to a user, and to accept one or more user responses to the one or more interview questions from the user; and
a translator, adapted and configured to translate the one or more user responses to form a translated response;
wherein, the number of schedule parameters are modified based on the translated response. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A method of programming a schedule of a controller having a user interface, the schedule having a number of schedule parameters, the method comprising the steps of:
-
sequentially providing a number of predetermined queries via the user interface; and
accepting user responses to at least selected queries, the queries adapted to collect sufficient information from the user responses to generate at least a major portion of the schedule parameters. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
