HVAC CONTROLLER WITH PERFORMANCE LOG
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An HVAC controller for use with an HVAC system including one or more HVAC components, the HVAC controller comprising:
- a user interface including a display;
a memory; and
a controller coupled to the user interface and the memory, the controller configured to store performance parameter data related to the performance of the HVAC system in a performance log in the memory of the HVAC controller over a period of time, the controller also configured to receive a first user request via the user interface, and in response to the first user request, retrieve at least some of the performance parameter data from the performance log that corresponds to a first selected subset of the period of time, and to display at least some of the retrieved performance parameter data on the display of the HVAC controller.

Abstract
An HVAC controller is configured to log and record performance related data related to a performance of an HVAC system over a period of time in one or more performance logs stored in a memory of the HVAC controller. In some cases, the HVAC controller may be configured to retrieve at least some of the performance related data from the performance log that corresponds to a selected period of time that may be selected by a user, and display the retrieved performance related data on a display of the HVAC controller.

26. A method for monitoring an HVAC system, the HVAC system including one or more HVAC components that are controlled, at least in part, by an HVAC controller having a user interface including a display, a memory, and a controller, the method comprising:
-
storing performance parameter data related to the performance of the HVAC system in a performance log in the memory of the HVAC controller over a period of time; display a minimum value and/or a maximum value for one or more different performance parameters over a first selected subset of the period of time on the display of the HVAC controller; and display a minimum value and/or a maximum value for the one or more different performance parameters over a second selected subset of the period of time on the display of the HVAC controller, wherein the selected subset of the period of time is longer than the first selected subset of the period of time.

27. An HVAC controller for use with an HVAC system including one or more HVAC components, the HVAC controller comprising:
-
a user interface including a display; a memory; an input/output block for sending and receiving one or more signals to and from the one or more HVAC components of the HVAC system; and a controller coupled to the user interface, the memory, and the input/output block, the controller programmed to record data related to a performance of the HVAC system in a performance log stored in the controller memory, the controller programmed to display at least some performance information from the performance log on the display of the HVAC controller, the controller programmed to automatically change a format of the performance information that is displayed on the display based on a current set-up configuration of the HVAC system.
