HVAC controller with a zone commissioning mode

A method of enrolling a plurality of wireless devices into a zoned HVAC system comprising a plurality of zones, the method comprising:

• accepting a first input from a user via a user interface that designates a first zone of the plurality of zones;
• after accepting the first input, enrolling each of one or more first wireless devices that are subsequently placed in an enrollment mode by the user in the first zone;
• accepting a second input from the user via the user interface that designates a second zone of the plurality of zones;
• after accepting the second input, enrolling each of one or more second wireless devices that are subsequently placed in an enrollment mode by the user in the second zone;
• and
• controlling the zoned HVAC system using the enrolled wireless devices, wherein at least some of the plurality of wireless devices comprises remote dampers, and when in the operational mode, the controller is configured to provide operational instructions to the remote dampers in order to operate the zoned HVAC system in accordance with temperature signals from the wireless remote temperature sensors.

A Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) controller configured to control a zoned HVAC system that includes a plurality of wireless devices divided into a plurality of zones within a building supported by the zoned HVAC system, the HVAC controller comprising:

• a housing;
• a user interface accessible from an exterior of the housing;
• a controller operably coupled to the user interface, the controller configured to:
• operate in an operational mode in which the controller provides operational instructions to the zoned HVAC system;
• operate in a commissioning mode in which the controller is configured to enroll the plurality of wireless devices into a particular zone of the plurality of zones;
• while in the commissioning mode, accept a first input from a user via the user interface that designates a first zone of the plurality of zones and causes each of two or more first wireless devices that are subsequently placed in an enrollment mode by the user to be enrolled in the first zone and accept a second input from the user via the user interface that designates a second zone of the plurality of zones and causes each of two or more second wireless devices that are subsequently placed in an enrollment mode by the user to be enrolled in the second zone;
• while in the commissioning mode, with the first zone designated, the controller is further configured to change a first one of the two or more first wireless devices that are enrolled in the first zone from a first state to a second state by sending a command to the first one of the two or more first wireless devices that causes the first one of the two or more first wireless devices to change from the first state to the second state;
• and
• control the zoned HVAC system using the enrolled wireless devices.
