An HVAC control system that accommodates and/or facilitates control from a remote location. The HVAC control system may include a web-enabled building control appliance having a controller, a first port and a second port. The controller may implement a web server that is coupled to the first port for serving up one or more web pages on a first network and for receiving a number of responses. The controller may also be coupled to the second port so as to communicate with one or more communicating thermostats via a second network. The web server may be adapted to provide an overview or summary web-page via the first port that displays information regarding the one or more thermostats, where the information that is displayed may be customized for a particular user.

1. A method of operating a web-based HVAC control system, the method comprising the steps of: permitting two or more users to access the web-based HVAC control system;recognizing a first user when the first users accesses the web-based HVAC control system, and displaying a first customized summary web-page for the first user;recognizing a second user when the second users accesses the web-based HVAC control system, and displaying a second customized summary web-page for the second user;wherein the first customized summary web-page includes a first subset of information that is available to the web-based HVAC control system, as well as two or more individually selectable elements that, when selected, causes more detailed information beyond the first subset of information to be displayed; andwherein the second customized summary web-page includes a second subset of information that is available to the web-based HVAC control system, as well as two or more individually selectable elements that, when selected, causes more detailed information beyond the second subset of information to be displayed, wherein the second subset of information is more comprehensive than the first subset of information. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising recognizing a third user when the third user accesses the web-based HVAC control system, and displaying a third customized summary web-page for the third user, as well as two or more individually selectable elements that, when selected, causes more detailed information beyond the third subset of information to be displayed, wherein the third subset of information is more comprehensive than the second subset of information. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the second customized summary screen includes at least one different selectable element than the first customized summary screen. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein when one of the individually selectable elements of the first customized summary web-page is selected, the more detailed information replaces at least some of the first subset of information. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein when one of the individually selectable elements of the second customized summary web-page is selected, the more detailed information replaces at least some of the second subset of information. 6. A method of interacting with an HVAC system, the method comprising: allowing a user to connect to a web-server;recognizing the user's identity at the web-server, and: when the user's identity corresponds to a first user or user class, providing a first summary screen, the first summary screen including a first subset of information that is related to the HVAC system, the first summary screen also including a first set of two or more individually selectable elements that, when selected, causes more detailed information to be displayed; andwhen the user's identity corresponds to a second user or user class, providing a second summary screen, the second summary screen including a second subset of summary information that is related to the HVAC system, the second summary screen also including a second set of two or more individually selectable elements that, when selected, causes more detailed information to be displayed, the first set of two or more individually selectable elements not being identical to the second set of two or more individually selectable elements. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the first subset of information is includes one or more of a thermostat identifier for one or more of thermostats of the HVAC system, a current inside temperature reported by one or more of the thermostats, a current outside temperature, a current set point for one or more of the thermostats, a schedule related parameter for one or more of the thermostats, a humidity related parameter that is reported by one or more of the thermostats, a current operating mode of HVAC system, an alarm related parameter for one or more of the thermostats, a discharge air temperature of HVAC system, a plenum related pressure of the HVAC system, a relay output related parameter of the HVAC system, a lockout status of the HVAC system; a fan switch status of the HVAC system, a throttle range of one or more of the thermostats, an integral time of one or more of the thermostats, a derivative time of one or more of the thermostats, and an anticipator authority of one or more of the thermostats. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein the information that is displayed on the first summary screen includes two or more parameters or settings, wherein each of the two or more parameter or setting is displayed in a corresponding column of the first summary screen. 9. The method of claim 6, wherein the information that is displayed on the first summary screen includes two or more parameters or settings, wherein each of the two or more parameter or setting is displayed in a corresponding column of the first summary screen, and wherein at least some of the parameters or settings include a hyperlink that, when selected, displays another web-page that includes additional information that is related to the selected parameter or setting. 10. A method of interacting with an HVAC system, the method comprising: allowing a user to connect to a web-server;recognizing the user's identity at the web-server;providing a customized summary screen on a user interface, the customized summary screen including summary information that is related to the HVAC system, the summary information that is displayed is dependent on the recognized user's identity; andthe customized summary screen including two or more individually selectable elements that, when selected, causes more detailed information beyond the summary information to be displayed on the user interface. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the particular two or more selectable elements that are displayed on the customized summary screen are dependent on the recognized user's identity. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the more detailed information that is displayed on the user interface when a selectable element is selected is dependent on the recognized user's identity. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein the more detailed information that is displayed on the user interface when a selectable element is selected is dependent on the recognized user's identity. 14. The method of claim 10, wherein the customized summary screen is displayed on the user interface via a thin client. 15. The method of claim 10, wherein the more detailed information, when displayed, replaces at least some of the summary information on the user interface. 16. The method of claim 10, wherein the recognized user's identity has one or more user rights, and the summary information that is displayed on the customized summary screen is dependent on the user rights. 17. The method of claim 10, wherein the summary information that is displayed on the customized summary screen does not include information regarding HVAC components that are not assigned to the recognized user's identity. 18. The method of claim 10, wherein the summary information that is displayed on the customized summary screen is selected in accordance with a technical proficiency and/or a desired responsibility of the recognized user's identity. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the recognized user's identity corresponds to a tenant of a space of a building, and one or more of thermostats are located in the tenant's space of the building, and wherein the summary information displayed on the customized summary screen does not include information that corresponds to one or more thermostats that are not located in the tenant's space of the building. 20. The method of claim 18, wherein when the recognized user's identity corresponds to an HVAC contractor, the information displayed on the customized summary screen includes configuration and/or setup information for the HVAC system.
