  • Patent number: 9673919
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for evaluating wireless signal quality between environmental sensing and control devices. A signal quality device includes a sensor module, one or more user control devices, one or more display devices, and a processing unit. The signal quality device is configured to generate a first signal following activation of at least one of the one or more user control devices, wirelessly transmit the first signal, receive a second signal in response to the first signal, and activate the one or more display devices to provide an indication of the signal quality of the first signal. A wireless environmental controller includes a processing unit and is configured to receive the first signal, determine the signal quality of the first signal, generate the second signal related to the signal quality of the first signal, and wirelessly transmit the second signal.

  • Patent number: 8400258
    Abstract: A method of remotely configuring a controller responsive to wireless signals includes entering a controller programming mode from a regular mode in response to at least one wireless signal corresponding to a first click pattern from a switch. The controller provides a first notification to indicate a first selected configurable feature of the controller. Each of a plurality of configurable features of the controller has a different assigned notification. The controller provides a second notification to indicate a second selected configurable feature in response to at least one wireless signal corresponding to a second click pattern from the switch. The method also includes exiting the programming mode. The notification may be a flashing of lights, a dimming of lights, an audible sound, an adjustment of a damper position, or a combination of these things.
