Abstract
The invention is a remote temperature control system. The remote temperature control system contains temperature sensors, which are remotely placed in zones of temperature regulation throughout an area to be heated or cooled. A thermostat is then placed outside the zones of temperature regulation and communicates with the temperature sensors. Based on the information received from the temperature sensors, the thermostat then sends commands to a temperature control source to regulate the temperature of the various zones of temperature regulation. Placing the temperature sensors in remote locations and having the thermostat outside these remote locations allows the remote temperature remote control system to more accurately control the temperatures in those remote locations.
