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 1):
A temperature monitor and control system, comprising:\n a temperature monitoring device wirelessly coupled to a network; a thermostat remote from said temperature monitoring device configured to regulate a HVAC system; said thermostat coupled to said network and having a processor and a memory comprising computer-readable instructions; said processor configured to execute said instructions to:\n wirelessly receive a first temperature from said temperature monitoring device; \n obtain a second temperature from said thermostat; \n determine an offset based on a difference between said first temperature and said second temperature; \n apply said offset to said thermostat to cause said thermostat to regulate said HVAC system in view of said first temperature; and \n override said applied offset in response to a determination that a fail-safe condition is met.
