Thermostat with interactive features and system and method for use of same

A system for temperature control, the system comprising:

• a programming interface configured to communicate with a thermostat, the thermostat including a housing securing a temperature input, a temperature output, a processor, non-transitory memory, and storage therein, the thermostat including a busing architecture communicatively interconnecting the temperature input, the temperature output, the processor, the non-transitory memory, and the storage, the thermostat including a wireless transceiver associated with the housing and coupled to the busing architecture;
• and
• the non-transitory memory accessible to the processor, the non-transitory memory including first processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
• receive interactive data at the thermostat via the thermostat, the interactive data being, relative to the thermostat, information about display-based interactions with the thermostat,
• receive environmental data via the wireless transceiver, the environmental data being, relative to the thermostat, information about an amenity, the amenity being one of a plurality of amenities at a residential property, the thermostat being co-located at the residential property,
• receive smart device data via the wireless transceiver, the smart device data being information from a proximate wireless-enabled programmable device interacting with the thermostat,
• store thermostat data at the thermostat, the thermostat data including the interactive data, the environmental data, and the smart device data,
• maintain the thermostat data at the thermostat,
• render a map view of the residential property at the thermostat, the map view of the residential property based on obtained map data, the map view including an interactive graphical representation of the residential property, the plurality of amenities, and the proximate wireless-enabled programmable device,
• annotate the interactive graphical representation of the residential property at the thermostat with at least a portion of the thermostat data, and
• send the annotated interactive graphical representation of the residential property to the proximate wireless-enabled interactive device.
