Abstract
A thermostat with voltage and current sensing capability is coupled directly to an HVAC unit and provides low latency failure detection and control using an on-board CPU. The thermostat can be configured to detect failure modes using current and voltage sensing and to make autonomous decisions to control the HVAC in response to such measurements.
