A gas powered appliance includes a burner for burning gas, a flame sensor positioned proximate the burner to detect a strength of a flame on the burner and to output signals indicative of the strength of the flame, and a controller connected to the flame sensor. The controller includes a communication interface, a processor, and a memory containing instructions that program the controller to control the burner, receive the signals from the flame sensor indicative of the strength of the flame, determine the strength of the flame from the received signals, and output, using the communication interface, an indication of the strength of the flame to a mobile device for display on the mobile device.

Systems and methods for wirelessly configuring climate control system controls

An HVAC system includes a motor having a plurality of speeds at which it can operate, an HVAC control, and a mobile device. The HVAC control is configured to control the motor during a plurality of different operations, and includes a controller processor, a controller memory, and controller near field communication (NFC) wireless interface including an NFC processor, an NFC memory, and an antenna. The mobile device includes a user interface and a mobile NFC wireless interface configured. The mobile device is configured to display the plurality of different operations on the user interface, receive user input settings of speeds of the motor for each of the plurality of different operations, and wirelessly transmit the received user input settings to the controller NFC wireless interface of the HVAC control. The NFC processor is configured to store the received user input settings in the NFC memory.

A method of controlling an HVAC system including a motor having five taps, an HVAC controller connected to the motor, and a mobile device includes receiving user input identification of the motor on a user interface of the mobile device. A plurality of operating conditions and more than five speed settings available for the identified motor are displayed on the user interface. The method includes receiving from the user a selected speed of the speed settings for a first operating condition of the plurality of operating conditions, and transmitting the selected speed and the associated first operating condition to the HVAC controller for use in controlling a speed of the motor during the plurality of operating conditions.
