Patent number: 9016593Abstract: A controller is provided for operating HVAC equipment using an environmental control program. The controller has an environmental sensor operable to provide a measured temperature value to the environmental control program. The controller further runs a dynamic temperature control program that is operable to provide a dynamic correction factor to the environmental control program that dynamically compensates the measured temperature value for waste heat generated by power consumption within the controller.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2011Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: ecobee, inc.Inventor: John Metselaar

Patent number: 8965585Abstract: A controller is provided for HVAC equipment. The controller has a processor, memory, and a RF module for a home automation network, and is operable to regulate operation of the HVAC equipment based upon a scheduling program stored in memory. The scheduling program includes at least one usage periods and at least one set point associated with each usage period. The controller is also operable to regulate operation of remote electrical devices over the home automation network; and to create a device scheduling program for the remote electrical devices, the device scheduling program including at least one device period and an operational state associated with each device period.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2012Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: ecobee inc.Inventors: Stuart Lombard, Mark Machiondo, Hesham Ezzat Fahmy, Erlend Sobec

Publication number: 20130178985Abstract: A controller for operating HVAC equipment on a premise. The controller has a processor and memory, and is adapted to regulate operation of the HVAC equipment based upon a scheduling program stored in memory. The scheduling program includes usage periods and a set point associated with each usage period. The controller is adapted to receive time of use pricing; the controller is further adapted to present a graphical representation of the scheduling program period on a display, the graphical representation providing a scheduling grid and each usage period being shown as an area on the scheduling grid; the controller is operable to display a time of use pricing overlay over the graphical representation of the scheduling program; and the controller creates at least one new usage period based upon where the time of use pricing overlay bisects the at least one usage period being presented on the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2012Publication date: July 11, 2013Applicant: ecobee inc.Inventors: Stuart LOMBARD, Mark Machiondo, Hesham Ezzat Fahmy, Erland Sobec
