- Controllers are used on a wide variety of devices and systems for controlling various functions in homes and or buildings and their related grounds. Some controllers have schedule programming that modifies device parameters such as set points as a function of date and/or time. Some such device or system controllers that5 utilize schedule programming for controlling various functions in homes and/or buildings and their related grounds include, for example, HVAC controllers, water heater controllers, water softener controllers, security system controllers, lawn sprinkler controllers, and lighting system controllers.
- controllers can be employed0 to monitor and, if necessary, control various environmental conditions occurring within a home or office building.
- the controller may include a microprocessor that interacts with other components in the system to regulate the temperature, humidity, venting, and/or air quality occurring at one or more locations.
- An internal sensor located within the controller and/or one or more remote sensors may be employed to5 sense when the temperature and/or humidity level reaches a certain threstiold level, causing the controller to send a signal to activate or deactivate one or more components in the system.
- the user interface typically comprises a liquid crystal display (LCD) or light emitting diode (LED) display inset within a controller housing that contains a microprocessor or the like, an I/O interface, and other components of the controller.
