Abstract
A controller device for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system may output, while in a first state, a first user interface for display at a display device, where the first user interface includes first information at a first output size. The controller device may determine, while in the first state and based at least in part on whether an elapsed time since a most recent indication of user input received at a user input device exceeds a timeout period, that no users are physically proximate to the controller device. The controller device may, in response: transition the controller device from the first state to a second state and output a second user interface at the display device, where the second user interface comprises second information at a second output size that is larger than the first output size.
