ADVANCED SETBACK REPORTING THERMOSTAT

摘要

A thermostat is operative to note the current temperature at time of enterin g into a setback of one or more previously established setpoints. The thermostat is also operati ve to note any newly defined setpoints. The thermostat also notes whether the setback is to occur in a heating or cooling mode of operation. The thermostat maintains a record of t he aforementioned entry conditions as well as the amount of tune the thermostat participates in a requested setback. The thermostat also preferably notes one or more setpoint s and sensed temperature occurring at the end of an implemented setback as well as the ending heating or cooling mode of operation. A record of temperature conditions, mode of operation and elapsed time for each setback is stored for retrieval by a remotely located entity in communication with the thermostat. This entity is usually an energy provider . This record is available for retrieval at any time, including a time when the thermostat is presently implementing a setback.
