Abstract:
A temperature control device (e.g., a thermostat) may be configured to control an internal heat-generating electrical load so as to accurately measure a present temperature in a space around the temperature control device. The temperature control device may comprise a temperature sensing circuit configured to generate a temperature control signal indicating the present temperature in the space, and a control circuit configured to receive the temperature control signal and to control the internal electrical load. The control circuit may be configured to energize the internal electrical load in an awake state and to cause the internal electrical load to consume less power in an idle state. The control circuit may be configured to control the internal electrical load to a first energy level (e.g., a first intensity) during the awake state and to a second energy level (e.g., second intensity) that is less than the first during the idle state.

Claim (Index 13):
A method comprising:\n sampling a temperature signal, the temperature signal indicating a temperature in a space around a temperature control device; determining, in an idle state, a sampled temperature based on the temperature signal; storing, in the idle state, the sampled temperature in memory; controlling, in the idle state, an internal electrical load to a first state; and controlling, in an awake state, the internal electrical load to a second state, wherein the internal electrical load consumes more power in the second state than in the first state; ceasing sampling of the temperature signal, in the awake state; retrieving, in the awake state, the sampled temperature stored in the memory during the idle state; comparing the retrieved sampled temperature to a set point temperature; and based on comparing the retrieved sampled temperature to the set point temperature, controlling an HVAC system.
