Abstract: An antenna extension system for an actuator of a Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Cooling (HVAC) system includes a first radio communication module configured for near field communication (NFC) with the actuator over a direct wireless communication link, a second radio communication module having a greater communication range than the first radio communication module, and a gateway module that interconnects the first and second radio communication modules and that receives data from the actuator over the direct wireless communication link via the first radio communication module and transmits the data received from the actuator via the second radio communication module to a mobile communication device, and receives data from the mobile communication device via the second radio communication module and transmits the data received from the mobile communication device via the first radio communication module over the direct wireless communication link to the actuator.

Abstract: A Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Cooling (HVAC) system is provided. The system includes an actuator and a sensor system. The actuator includes an electric motor, a controller connected to the electric motor and a first close range radio communication interface. The sensor system includes one or more sensors, and a second close range radio communication interface. The second close range radio communication interface is connected to the one or more sensors and establishes a local wireless communication link to the actuator via the first close range radio communication interface, and transmits operational values measured by the one or more sensors via the local wireless communication link to the actuator. The controller is connected to the first close range radio communication interface and receives the operational values via the local wireless communication link and controls operation of the actuator's electric motor in accordance with the operational values.
