Abstract
Systems and methods for managing a programmable thermostat are described herein. One or more system embodiments include a programmable thermostat having a first management profile; a data acquisition subsystem; and a data analysis subsystem. The data acquisition subsystem is configured to receive thermostat data from the programmable thermostat, and the data analysis subsystem is configured to receive the thermostat data from the data acquisition subsystem, and determine a second management profile for the programmable thermostat based, at least in part, on the thermostat data.
Claims20
A system for managing a programmable thermostat, comprising:
- a programmable thermostat having a first management profile;
- a data acquisition subsystem configured to receive thermostat data from the programmable thermostat;
- and
- a data analysis subsystem configured to:
- receive the thermostat data from the data acquisition subsystem;
- receive data from a mobile device that indicates that a user is returning to a structure managed by the programmable thermostat;
- and
- determine a second management profile for the programmable thermostat based, at least in part, on the thermostat data and the data received from the mobile device indicating that the user is returning to the structure.
A system for managing a programmable thermostat, comprising:
- a programmable thermostat having a first management profile that uses one or more modes, wherein the programmable thermostat includes a data acquisition subsystem configured to transmit usage data associated with the programmable thermostat;
- and
- a data analysis subsystem configured to:
- receive the usage data from the programmable thermostat;
- determine a second management profile for the programmable thermostat based, at least in part, on the usage data, wherein the second management profile uses at least one mode that was not used by the first management profile;
- and
- communicate the second management profile to the programmable thermostat.
A computer-implemented method for managing a programmable thermostat, comprising:
- reading thermostat data of a programmable thermostat having a first management profile, the thermostat data comprising historical occupancy patterns;
- analyzing the thermostat data including the historical occupancy patterns;
- and
- determining a second management profile for the programmable thermostat based, at least in part, on the analysis of the thermostat data including the historical occupancy patterns.
