Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for for zoned wireless heating, ventilation, and air conditioner (HVAC) sensor registration and verification. An example method may include receiving, using one or more processors, first data from a first portable device, the first data indicative of a condition relating to operation of an HVAC unit within a first zone of an environment, wherein the first portable device is positioned within the first zone of the environment during initial configuration of the HVAC unit and independent of the HVAC unit that is also included within the environment. The example method may also include determining, using the one or more processors and based on the first data, a first configuration change for the HVAC unit. The example method may also include causing a component of the HVAC unit to perform the first configuration change.

Abstract: The systems and methods described herein allow for data produced by an HVAC device to be selectively shared with a third party, such as a contractor used to perform maintenance services on the HVAC device. The system and methods also allow for HVAC devices to be remotely configured to share data based on certain triggering conditions. Specifically, a controller built into an HVAC device may include a configuration file, which may dictate rules associated with collection and transmission of data by the HVAC device. A remote server may be configured to passively listen for data transmissions from any HVAC devices.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for automated furnace inducer sensor output verification. A furnace may include a sensor, such as a transducer, that may be used to measure pressure within the furnace (for example, pressure resulting from the operation of a draft inducer blower and/or any other component of the furnace). It is possible that the data produced by the sensor may remain relatively fixed for a given period of time. However, this makes it difficult to determine if the data is valid or if the sensor is malfunctioning. Given this, an algorithm is used to change a motor speed of the inducer blower. The subsequent data that is produced by the sensor is then monitored to determine if an expected change in the data occurs. If the change does not occur, then it may be determined that the sensor is malfunctioning.
