Abstract
A method for programming and a user interface for a programmable environmental control wherein a user assigns names (e.g. “Morning”, or “Unoccupied”, or “Evening”) to sets of parameters such as, for example, pairs of temperature set-points. When establishing the programming schedule, the user picks the name associated with the sets of parameters (e.g. a pair of set-points, one for heating and another for cooling) to be assigned to a given time period.
