FA-92639 / HVAC thermostat control / Member archive

Averaging holds a stale value when no occupied room is valid · case 04

With everyone out of the occupied rooms the thermostat stops tracking temperature.

Member previewVariant 4 · 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

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
