Thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) configurable display

A method for controlling a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system by a thermostatic radiator valve, the method comprising:

• obtaining, from a position sensor, position information of the thermostatic radiator valve;
• detecting that the thermostatic radiator valve has been installed;
• determining, based on the detecting and from a plurality of possible TRV positions relative to a designated surface of the HVAC system, a TRV position with respect to the designated surface of the HVAC system;
• generating an indication of the TRV position;
• configuring a configurable electronic display, capable of displaying TRV information in a plurality of display orientations within the configurable electronic display, to display TRV information in a desired display orientation, of the plurality of display orientations, based on the indication;
• and
• causing the configurable electronic display to display the TRV information in the desired display orientation based on the configuring.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) comprising at least one processor, a communication interface, and memory, configure the thermostatic radiator valve to:

• obtain position information of the thermostatic radiator valve;
• detect that the thermostatic radiator valve has been installed;
• determine, based on the detecting that the thermostatic radiator valve has been installed and from a plurality of possible TRV positions relative to a designated surface of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, a TRV position with respect to the designated surface of the HVAC system;
• generate an indication indicative of the TRV position;
• configure a configurable electronic display, capable of displaying TRV information in a plurality of display orientations within the configurable electronic display, to display the TRV information in a desired display orientation, of the plurality of display orientations, based on the indication;
• and
• causing the configurable electronic display to display the TRV information in the desired display orientation based on the configuring.
