Patent number: 9920944Abstract: A wall module for controlling a temperature in a building space includes a housing and a temperature sensor disposed within the housing. A touch screen display is mounted relative to the housing and a controller is configured to control what is displayed on the touch screen display and to accept inputs received via the touch screen display. A communication port is operatively coupled to the controller for communicating with an HVAC controller that is remote from the wall module. The controller is configured to permit a user to alter a display arrangement of information displayed on the touch screen display, and to transmit the altered display arrangement to the HVAC controller such that the HVAC controller can subsequently provide the altered display arrangement back to the wall module and/or share the altered display arrangement with other wall modules.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2015Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Ivo Chromy, Miroslav Mikulica, David Sedlacek, Petr Hanel, Gary P. Kasper, William Bray

Patent number: 9285134Abstract: A configurable wall module having selectable home screens, custom menu navigation, and incorporating functional design. The display utilizes fixed segments. menu navigation and configuration which may be facilitated with soft keys having indicative labels associated with them. The parameters may be accessed from categories by soft keys via two-level menu navigation. Certain parameter value and setpoint entries may be effected with up/down keys. Module configuration may be performed by a user. To provide such user capability, the module may be programmed and configured by an installer with a software configuration tool used in connection with the building automation system associated with the module.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2007Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: William J. Bray, Ankur Jhawar, Gary P. Kasper, Jason C. Laberge, Jakub Andrzejewski, Paul C. Wacker, Siddharth Ghule, Stalin Gutha, Bruce S. Johnson

Patent number: 8925358Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to building control systems and, more particularly, to methods and devices for configuring and/or displaying parameters or other information such as menu screens on a programmable wall module of a building control system. In an illustrative embodiment, a configuration tool may be configured to create a number of screens for the user interface of the programmable wall module based on a number of user inputs received via the user interface of the configuration tool. In some cases, the number of user inputs received via the user interface of the configuration tool may be less than, and sometimes far less than, the number of screens that are created by the configuration tool. Regardless, with the number of screens created, the configuration tool may upload the number of screens to the programmable wall module for use on the user interface of the programmable wall module.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2013Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: Gary P. Kasper

Patent number: 7784705Abstract: An electronic device such as an HVAC controller that accounts for internal heating in determining an environmental condition such as temperature or humidity in the space surrounding the HVAC controller. The HVAC controller may calculate a transient heat rise value that is based upon a powered time period and a first order time lag, especially during a time period before which the HVAC controller reaches a steady state temperature condition.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2006Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Gary P. Kasper, Gary A. Smith, Paul C. Wacker

Patent number: 5219119Abstract: A setback controller, typically a thermostat, controls a control unit which holds a condition within an enclosure at either a low energy consumption set point or a high energy consumption set point depending on the present time. The controller uses a recovery sensor to measure the state of a condition which can affect the rate at which recovery from the low energy to the high energy set point is likely to occur, and then starts recovery at a time consistent with the state of the condition so as to complete recovery at or near the time selected for the return to the high energy set point. The condition sensor may be located adjacent to the outside of the enclosure to sense one or more conditions. In a temperature control application, the recovery sensor may include a temperature sensor located outdoors near the controlled space and a wind velocity sensor.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 1992Date of Patent: June 15, 1993Assignee: Honeywell Inc.Inventors: Gary P.
