Abstract

A wireless programmable digital thermostat system (20) includes multiple transmitter units (24) and at least one receiver/controller unit (22). Each of the transmitter units (24) is adapted to receive programming inputs from users and to generate and transmit input signals over a wireless medium. The receiver unit (22) is adapted to receive the input signals and to generate control signals in response to the input signals from only one of the transmitter units (24) at a time. The receiver/controller unit (22) receives and processes the input signals and is adapted to be programmable in response to the input signals according to a basic programming mode, and economy programming mode and an advanced programming mode.
