Abstract:
A method for monitoring and controlling operation of a HVAC system within a structure comprises providing a thermostat configured to regulate the HVAC system. The method includes situating a plurality of battery-operated temperature monitoring devices within the structure and coupling the thermostat and each of the plurality of battery-operated temperature monitoring devices to a network. The method comprises receiving over the network a user command that includes a selection of at least one of the battery-operated temperature monitoring devices. The method includes computing at the thermostat an offset based on an evaluation of a first temperature reading of the at least one selected battery-operated temperature monitoring device relative to a second temperature reading of the thermostat. The method comprises applying the offset to the thermostat to cause the thermostat to regulate the HVAC system in view of the first temperature reading, and overriding the offset when an override condition is met.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for monitoring and controlling operation of a HVAC system within a structure, comprising:\n providing a thermostat configured to regulate said HVAC system; situating a plurality of battery-operated temperature monitoring devices within said structure; coupling said thermostat and each of said plurality of battery-operated temperature monitoring devices to a network; receiving over said network a user command, said user command including a selection of at least one of said battery-operated temperature monitoring devices; computing at the thermostat an offset based on an evaluation of a first temperature reading of said at least one selected battery-operated temperature monitoring device relative to a second temperature reading of said thermostat; applying said offset to said thermostat to cause said thermostat to regulate said HVAC system in view of said first temperature reading; and overriding said applied offset in response to a determination that an override condition is met.
