DCFirst Claim
1. A temperature controlling apparatus, comprising:
- a housing including an LCD screen capable of displaying settings information and an energy savings settings icon;
a processor configured to detect multiple inputs with the housing, the multiple inputs including inputs from a plurality of users providing the settings information in response to the interaction with the housing;
the processor further configured to initiate a suggestion of a setting resulting in a display of the energy savings settings icon;
encoded logic configured to be used by the processor to process the multiple inputs and determine a schedule and determine whether to display the energy savings settings icon based on the determined schedule;
a wireless communication module configured to access a hosted web service and a mobile device, wherein each of the hosted web service and the mobile device may receive multiple inputs from the plurality of users such that the settings information used to determine the schedule can be provided remotely; and
wherein the multiple inputs can further include detecting a presence in proximity to the housing of at least one user over a period of time and providing a presence status to determine the settings information.

Abstract
According to an aspect of the disclosure, an apparatus includes a processor operable to manage energy use at a site wherein the processor is configured to detect a user interaction with the apparatus and create a personalized schedule automatically in response to the user interaction. The apparatus can also include a first profile accessible to the processor, wherein the first profile includes a first personalized schedule, and a second profile accessible to the processor, wherein the second profile is different from the first profile and includes a second personalized schedule. In addition, the processor can be configured to determine when to use the first profile or the second profile, initiate an outgoing message using the first or second personalized schedule, and update the first or second profile in response to a user interaction with an interface of the apparatus during use of the first or second personalized schedule.
