Abstract: Provided are techniques for tracking a tagged object using a thermostat. The techniques include utilizing a controller that includes a display, wherein the controller is located in a thermostat and is configured to receive a scan request. The techniques also include a tag that is coupled to an object, where the tag is configured to transmit a beacon, and one or more sensors are configured to detect the beacon and transmit data associated with the tag to the controller, wherein each of the one or more sensors are located in one or more zones of a structure.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamic communication of wireless devices in a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system is provided. Aspects include receiving a mapping of a location comprising a plurality of zones having a plurality of devices in each zone, broadcasting a discovery signal to the plurality of devices in each zone, receiving a response signal from one or more devices in each zone, the response signal comprising a signal strength, analyzing the signal strength of each response signal to identify a master zone device based on the signal strength, and configuring the master zone device in each zone to broadcast a second discovery signal to the plurality of devices in a respective zone, the second discovery signal having instructions comprising a configuration for the each of the plurality of devices in the zone to broadcast device data to the respective master zone device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for obtaining environmental data for an HVAC system are provided. Aspects include a housing, a transceiver, at least one environmental sensor, and a controller coupled to a memory, the controller configured determine a state of the at least one environmental sensor. And based at least in part on the state of the at least one environmental sensor being a failure state, obtain proximate environmental data.
