Abstract
A building device includes a plurality of sensors, a display device, and a control circuit. The display device includes a user interface having a set of indicator lights. The display device further includes a plurality of touch-sensitive buttons configured to receive a user input. The control circuit is configured to receive configuration information relating to a preset setpoint value, a maximum setpoint value, and a minimum setpoint value. The control circuit is further configured to receive a user input relating to a temperature adjustment for increasing a current setpoint value or decreasing the current setpoint value. The control circuit is further configured to configure an output of the set of indicator lights to provide a visual representation of the temperature adjustment by associating the current setpoint value with activation of at least one of the indicator light of the set.
