1. An HVAC controller configured to control one or more HVAC components of an HVAC system, the HVAC controller comprising: a user interface including a display, the user interface configured to receive one or more user interactions of a user of the HVAC controller;a memory module;a controller couple
1. An HVAC controller configured to control one or more HVAC components of an HVAC system, the HVAC controller comprising: a user interface including a display, the user interface configured to receive one or more user interactions of a user of the HVAC controller;a memory module;a controller coupled to the memory and the user interface, the controller programmed to log each of at least some of the user interactions that are received by the user interface as a user interaction log entry in a user interaction log stored in the memory module, wherein at least some of the user interaction log entries includes a time and/or date stamp that is indicative of when the corresponding user interaction was received by the user interface; andthe controller further programmed to recall at least some of the user interaction log entries from the user interaction log, and to display the recalled user interaction log entries on the display of the user interface upon request. 2. The HVAC controller of claim 1, wherein at least some of the user interaction log entries include a description of the corresponding user interaction. 3. The HVAC controller of claim 1, wherein at least one of the user interaction log entries corresponds to a user's response to an alert that is displayed by the HVAC controller on the display of the user interface. 4. The HVAC controller of claim 3, wherein the alert is a maintenance alert, and the maintenance alert allows a user to select between two or more options in response to the maintenance alert. 5. The HVAC controller of claim 4, wherein the selection of one of the two or more options corresponds to the user's response to the maintenance alert. 6. The HVAC controller of claim 4, wherein the maintenance alert is one or more of a filter change reminder alert, a replace battery reminder alert, and an HVAC performance alert. 7. The HVAC controller of claim 1, wherein one or more of the user interaction log entries corresponds to a temperature set point change. 8. The HVAC controller of claim 1, wherein one or more of the user interaction log entries corresponds to a programmable schedule change. 9. The HVAC controller of claim 1, wherein one or more of the user interaction log entries corresponds to an installer setting change. 10. The HVAC controller of claim 1, wherein one or more of the user interaction log entries corresponds to one or more of a user initiated temperature setting change, a user initiated system/fan mode change, a fault/alert viewable by a user, a user's response to an alert or fault, a user initiated installer setting change, a user initiated programmable schedule change, a user initiated date/time change, a user initiated indoor air quality setting change, a user initiated change that may affect indoor quality, a user preference change, a maintenance change carried out by a user. 11.

The method of claim 14, wherein one or more of the user interaction log entries corresponds to one or more of a user initiated temperature setting change, a user initiated system/fan mode change, a fault/alert viewable by a user, a user's response to an alert or fault, an user initiated installer setting change, a user initiated programmable schedule change, a user initiated date/time change, a user initiated indoor air quality setting change, a user initiated change that may affect indoor quality, a user preference change, a maintenance change carried out by a user. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the recalled user interaction log entries are displayed on a display of one or more of a personal computer, a laptop, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant, and a smart phone. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein at least some of the user interaction log entries are classified into two or more classes, the method further comprising: accepting a selection of a selected class; andrecalling at least some of the user interactions of the selected class; anddisplaying the recalled user interaction log entries of the selected class on the display, while not displaying at least some of the user interaction log entries that are not classified in the selected class. 18. An apparatus comprising: a memory;a controller operatively coupled to the memory, wherein the controller is programmed to: store a user interaction log in the memory, wherein the user interaction log comprises a plurality of user interaction log entries each corresponding to one or more user interactions of a user of an HVAC system, and wherein at least some of the user interaction log entries includes a time and/or date stamp that is indicative of when the one or more user interactions that correspond to the corresponding user interaction log entry occurred;recall at least some of the user interaction log entries from the user interaction log; andforward the recalled user interaction log entries for display. 19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein at least some of the user interaction log entries include a description of the corresponding user interaction. 20. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein one or more of the user interaction log entries corresponds to one or more of a user initiated temperature setting change, a user initiated system/fan mode change, a fault/alert viewable by a user, a user's response to an alert or fault, a user initiated installer setting change, a user initiated programmable schedule change, a user initiated date/time change, a user initiated indoor air quality setting change, a user initiated change that may affect indoor quality, a user preference change, a maintenance change carried out by a user.
