Abstract

An exemplary system includes a thermostat configured to be operable for communicating with an equipment interface module (EIM) for controlling operation of a heating/cooling unit. The thermostat is configured to be operable for communicating wirelessly (e.g., via 900 MHz communication protocol, other wireless communication protocol, etc.) with the equipment interface module. In the event of a wireless communication loss or failure, the thermostat is configured to be operable to failover to a wired connection between the thermostat and the equipment interface module to thereby enable wired communication between the thermostat and the equipment interface module, e.g., for controlling the heating/cooling unit to provide emergency heat in the event of the wireless communication loss or failure, etc.
