Control system interface and computer-implemented method of configuring said system

A computer-implemented method of configuring an environmental control system, the method comprising:

• displaying, by a user interface device, a primary room view comprising at least one of a first target temperature value and a first measured temperature value;
• receiving, by the user interface device while the primary room view is displayed, a first user gesture;
• modifying the first target temperature value based on the received first user gesture;
• modifying the primary room view based on the modified first target temperature value;
• transmitting, by a communications transceiver, the modified first target temperature value;
• receiving, by the user interface device, a second user gesture different from the first user gesture;
• displaying, by the user interface device, a secondary room view comprising at least one of a second target temperature value and a second measured temperature value;
• receiving, by the user interface device while the secondary room view is displayed, a third user gesture, wherein the third user gesture is of the same type as the first user gesture and different from the second user gesture;
• modifying the second target temperature value based on the received third user gesture;
• modifying the secondary room view based on the modified second target temperature value;
• and
• transmitting, by a communications transceiver, the modified second target temperature value.

An environmental control system, comprising:

• a user interface device configured to:
• receive a user input;
• determine a state of a system associate with the user interface device;
• determine a user selection, from a plurality of actions associated with the system, a particular action associated with a state of the system;
• and
• initiate an action of the system based on the particular action.
