Abstract:
A configuration management system for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a controller having a memory storing a baseline configuration of the HVAC system. The baseline configuration of the HVAC system indicates that the HVAC system is an air conditioning system or a heat pump system. Additionally, the controller is configured to determine a current configuration of the HVAC system based on detecting whether a reversing valve is present in the HVAC system. The current configuration of the HVAC system includes an air conditioning system configuration or a heat pump system configuration. The controller is also configured to perform a control action in response to determining that the current configuration is different than the baseline configuration.

Claim (Index 20):
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising instructions executable by at least one processor of a configuration management system for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system that, when executed by the at least one processor of a HVAC controller, cause the at least one processor to:\n monitor whether a reversing valve is coupled to a first terminal and a second terminal of the HVAC controller; determine a current configuration of the HVAC system, wherein the current configuration comprises an air conditioning system configuration when the reversing valve is not coupled to the first terminal and the second terminal, and wherein the current configuration comprises a heat pump system configuration when the reversing valve is coupled to the first terminal and the second terminal; and perform a control action in response to determining that the current configuration is different than a baseline configuration of the HVAC system, wherein the baseline configuration of the HVAC system indicates that the HVAC system is an air conditioning system or a heat pump system.
