Attributing causation for energy usage and setpoint changes with a network-connected thermostat

A method of interactively and graphically displaying schedule information to a user of an HVAC system controlled by a network-connected thermostat, the method comprising:

• using the thermostat, gathering information relating to HVAC system usage, the thermostat controlling the HVAC system according to a plurality of temperature setpoints, the gathered information including for each temperature setpoint information indicative of a manner in which the temperature setpoint was set;
• on a display device in a location remote from the thermostat, graphically displaying a plurality of graphical representations each corresponding to one of the plurality of temperature setpoints;
• and
• on the display device and based at least in part on the gathered information displaying information indicative of the manner in which a first temperature setpoint was set, the first temperature setpoint being one of the plurality of temperature setpoints.

A method of interactively and graphically displaying performance information to a user of an HVAC system controlled by a network-connected thermostat, the method comprising:

• using the thermostat, gathering information relating to HVAC system usage, the thermostat controlling the HVAC system according to a plurality of temperature setpoints, the setpoints being set by any of a plurality of methods including direct user interaction with the thermostat and remote interaction with the thermostat via network connection;
• on a display device in a location remote from the thermostat, graphically displaying performance information based on the gathered information, the displayed performance information including a graphical daily summary for each of a plurality of days;
• graphically displaying on the display device detailed performance information for one of the plurality of days, the information including a plurality of setpoint symbols;
• receiving user input indicating a selection of one of the plurality of setpoint symbols;
• and
• in real time and in response to the received input indicating the selection of one of the plurality of setpoint symbols, displaying on the display device for the selected one of the plurality setpoint symbols, information indicative of a manner in which the selected setpoint was set.
