Patent number: 8740101Abstract: An equipment interface module that can operate one or more pieces of HVAC equipment in accordance with instructions received from a properly operating thermostat, yet can also operate the HVAC equipment when communications between the thermostat and the HVAC controller are lost due to, for example, low battery power at the thermostat, malfunctioning thermostat sensor(s), malfunctioning communication and/or thermostat circuitry, electrical interference, and the like. In some instances, the equipment interface module may regulate the HVAC equipment in accordance with a signal from a remote sensor when communication with the thermostat is lost.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2011Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Cary Leen, Gabriel A. Bergman, Jiri Frint, James Grenkoski
