Mounting mechanism for thermostatic devices

A component mountable in a hydronic heating or cooling system, the component comprising:

• a device, wherein the device is configured to interconnect with another device over an Internet;
• a male section comprising a flange and an indentation around the male section below the flange, the male section having a threaded lower end and the flange located at an upper end, the male section configured to attach to a system component of the hydronic heating or cooling system by threading the threaded lower end onto the system component of the hydronic heating or cooling system;
• and
• a female section attached to the device, the female section comprising a main body, a slide sleeve, a latching mechanism, and a spring, the female section configured to attach to the male section by the latching mechanism locking onto the indentation of the male section in a lock state when the slide sleeve is in a lower position along the main body, the latching mechanism releasing from the indentation of the male section in a release state when the slide sleeve is in an upper position along the main body, the spring maintaining the lock state by generating a downward force on the latching mechanism, wherein latching mechanism comprises at least one latch, wherein the at least one latch comprises an arm portion to move within the main body, and wherein the least one latch comprises a claw portion to lock onto the indentation of the male section, the at least one latch locking into the indentation when in the lock state.
