  • Temperature compensation for low-voltage thermostats
    Patent number: 11578886
    Abstract: A thermostat device may use one or two temperature sensors inside the housing of the thermostat device to perform temperature compensation to determine the ambient temperature outside the housing of the thermostat device. Processing circuitry of the thermostat device may determine a current operating mode of the thermostat device out of a plurality of operating modes. The processing circuitry may also use machine learning to estimate the current and voltage of the thermostat device based on temperature differences between the two temperature sensors. The processing circuitry may determine, based at least in part on the estimated current and voltage of the thermostat device and the current operating mode of the thermostat device, an ambient temperature outside the housing of the thermostat device.
