Mode-based control of a refrigeration climate control system

An electronic device, comprising:

• a memory comprising computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to at least:
• receive sensor data corresponding to a current state of a refrigerant in a receiver of a refrigerant climate control system;
• receive a pre-compress control signal requesting operation of the refrigerant climate control system without a call for heating or cooling;
• determine an operating mode of the refrigerant climate control system based on the pre-compress control signal and the current state of the refrigerant in the receiver;
• and
• instruct the refrigerant climate control system to operate in the determined operating mode.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving sensor data corresponding to a current state of a refrigerant in a receiver of a refrigerant climate control system;
• receiving a pre-compress control signal requesting operation of the refrigerant climate control system without a call for heating or cooling;
• determining an operating mode of the refrigerant climate control system based on the pre-compress control signal and the current state of the refrigerant in the receiver;
• and
• instructing the refrigerant climate control system to operate in the determined operating mode.
