TRANSITION FOR THERMOSTAT
First Claim
1. A thermostat associated with a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system, comprising:
- a housing;
at least one input;
a sensor for measuring an ambient internal temperature; and
an internal processor for operating the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system in response to the at least one input and the measured ambient internal temperature;
wherein the thermostat is operable in a heating mode and a cooling mode, a heating set point being associated with the heating mode, and a cooling set point being associated with the cooling mode, wherein the internal processor is programmable to incrementally adjust at least one of the heating set point and the cooling set point in response to a sensed condition.

Abstract
A thermostat associated with a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system, includes a housing, at least one input, a sensor for measuring an ambient internal temperature, and an internal processor for operating the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system in response to the at least one input and the measured ambient internal temperature. The thermostat is operable in a heating mode and a cooling mode. A heating set point is associated with the heating mode, and a cooling set point is associated with the cooling mode. The internal processor is programmable to incrementally adjust at least one of the heating set point and the cooling set point in response to a sensed condition.
