1. A method of compensating a temperature reading of a thermostat that is configured to control a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of a building, wherein the thermostat has a housing and one or more temperature sensors for sensing a temperature within the housing, the method comprising:

  • sensing a temperature using the one or more temperature sensors of the thermostat;

    compensating the sensed temperature with a first temperature compensation model;

    compensating the sensed temperature with a second temperature compensation model; and

    transitioning from compensating the sensed temperature with the first temperature compensation model to compensating the sensed temperature with the second temperature compensation model over time by weighting the first temperature compensation model and the second temperature compensation model with respect to one another to determine a compensated sensed temperature, wherein one or more weights applied to the first temperature compensation model and one or more weights applied to the second temperature compensation model are each a function of time; and

    sending control signals to the HVAC system of the building to control an ambient temperature about the thermostat in accordance with the compensated sensed temperature.
