At least one of the air mover and the processing component may be configured to initiate a mode for serial digital communication via the first wire and the second wire. The air mover and the processing component may be configured to communicate information to each other in accordance with a digital communication protocol via the first wire and the second wire during the mode for serial digital communication.
