Patent attributes
A wireless device used to communicate with and control one or more components of an HVAC system from a remote location is provided. The wireless device is configured to display two or more icons on the display of the device, wherein each icon executes a function that aids the user in controlling one or more components of the HVAC system. The wireless device dynamically orders the two or more icons on the display of the device, each according to a dynamic ranking algorithm. The dynamic ranking algorithm is based on a number of factors such as, for example, a relative frequency of selection of each of the two or more icons by a user, the current time of day, the current time of year, the current temperature, and/or the current location of the wireless device.
