Patent Images
1. A programmable HVAC controller, comprising:
- a memory subsystem;
a communication subsystem configured to receive a wake-up alarm time; and
a processing subsystem coupled to said memory and communication subsystems and configured to;
set a “
sleep”
temperature adjustment time based on a time said wake-up alarm time is received, andset a “
wake”
temperature adjustment time based on said wake-up alarm time.

Abstract
A programmable HVAC controller, a method of automatically programming HVAC system temperature adjustment times and an HVAC system incorporating the system or the method. In one embodiment, the programmable HVAC controller includes: (1) a memory subsystem, (2) a communication subsystem configured to receive a wake-up alarm time and (3) a processing subsystem coupled to the memory and communication subsystems and configured to: (3a) set a “sleep” temperature adjustment time based on a time the wake-up alarm time is received and (3b) set a “wake” temperature adjustment time based on the wake-up alarm time.
