US Classification:

700278

Abstract:

Aspects of the present invention provide user interface methods for interacting with and managing network-connected thermostats through a thermostat management system. The user interface method identifies a primary enclosure associated with a thermostat management account with the remaining enclosures deemed secondary enclosures. The user interface displays the primary enclosure using a primary enclosure selection appearing in a foreground area of the user interface as a house and adjacent to thermostat selections representing each of the network-connected thermostats installed in the primary enclosure. In a background area of the user interface, a primary weather visual incorporates images of various weather patterns reflecting both a weather pattern in the vicinity of the primary enclosure and an approximate time of day at the geographic location of the primary enclosure. Secondary enclosure selections are visually deemphasized on the user interface when compared with the primary enclosure selection displayed on the user interface.

Abstract:

Various arrangements for remotely managing the learning functionality of smart thermostats are presented. A smart thermostat may be located at a primary enclosure. A thermostat access client may be executed by a computerized device remote from the smart thermostat. The thermostat access client may present a plurality of thermostat settings that correspond to the smart thermostat. The settings may include a selection for: enabling and disabling a learning mode of the smart thermostat. The learning mode, when enabled, may cause the smart thermostat to modify at least one future setpoint in a heating schedule or cooling schedule based on past user input. The thermostat access client, via the selection for enabling the learning mode of the smart thermostat, may receive user input indicating that the learning mode of the first thermostat is to be enabled. A thermostat management server system may instruct the smart thermostat to enable the learning mode.
