Abstract
An HVAC system and method for digital communication timing discovery over a two wire connection. The HVAC system comprises a thermostat and at least one remote sensor unit comprising at least one sensor with an associated memory. The thermostat comprises a communication interface adapted to be connected to the remote sensor unit via a two-wire connection over a communication channel. The thermostat further comprises a controller adapted to perform a communication timing discovery to determine a communicating timing value that minimizes communication error rates for each sensor of the remote sensor unit by performing an iterative communication error rate detection operation over a range of timing values. The thermostat controller uses the determined communication timing value for communicating with the respective sensor during normal operation to receive sensor information.
