FA-92635 / HVAC thermostat control / Member archive

Out-of-range remote sensor readings are averaged in · case 05

A shorted or open remote sensor drags the control temperature to an absurd value.

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

Thermostat with remote room sensors; each sample is a list of [room, reading tenths F or None, occupied]. Readings outside 32.0-100.0 F or None are invalid. The control temperature is the mean of valid readings from occupied rooms, or of all valid readings if no occupied room has one, rounded half up to a tenth; if nothing is valid the previous control temperature is held (None initially). Return the control temperature per sample.

Why this case matters

Residential and light-commercial thermostats make these decisions sample by sample; each defect changes equipment calls in a way that shows up as short cycling, comfort complaints or equipment stress.

One recorded failure
