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.

Systems and methods for optimal representation of setpoint selection via an array of lights

An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is a portable device for managing heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) equipment configuration. The portable device includes a memory, a user-operable switch having a read position and a write position, and a controller interface coupled to the memory and the user-operable switch. The controller interface is configured to be coupled to an HVACR controller. The controller interface is configured to detect whether the user-operable switch is in the read position or the write position. The controller interface is configured to, responsive to detecting that the user-operable switch is in the read position, execute a read operation comprising obtaining a first set of configuration parameters from the HVACR controller. The controller interface is configured to, responsive to detecting that the user-operable switch is in the write position, execute a write operation comprising sending the first set of configuration parameters to the HVACR controller.
