An HVAC controller for controlling an HVAC system may be configured to enroll one or more wireless devices, and once one or more wireless devices are enrolled, to prompt the user to enter an identifier, a location, a device type and/or a function for one or more of the enrolled wireless devices. The HVAC controller may use the identifier, location and/or device type to identify each of the enrolled devices. This may facilitate a user in selecting various sensors to participate in sensor averaging, identifying where certain sensor data is originating, identifying devices having a low battery condition, as well as performing other tasks as desired.

1. An HVAC controller for controlling one or more components of an HVAC system of a building, the HVAC controller comprising: a user interface including a display;a memory;an I/O block for sending and/or receiving signals to and/or from the one or more components of the HVAC system including two or
1. An HVAC controller for controlling one or more components of an HVAC system of a building, the HVAC controller comprising: a user interface including a display;a memory;an I/O block for sending and/or receiving signals to and/or from the one or more components of the HVAC system including two or more sensors, wherein the two or more sensors comprise one or more wireless sensors;a controller operatively coupled the user interface, the memory, and the I/O block, the controller is configured to display one or more screens on the display that allow a user to select which of the two or more sensors will be used by the controller in providing temperature control to the building; andwherein when two or more of the sensors are selected by the user to be used by the controller in providing temperature control to the building, the controller is configured to use sensor averaging. 2. The HVAC controller of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to enroll one or more of the wireless sensors, and to solicit a name from the user for at least one of the one or more enrolled wireless sensors via the user interface of the HVAC controller, wherein the controller is configured to store the accepted name(s) in the memory of the HVAC controller and to subsequently display the accepted name(s) on the user interface of the HVAC controller when allowing the user to select which of the two or more sensors will be used by the controller in providing temperature control to the building. 3. The HVAC controller of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to display one or more screens that allow the user to assign a weight for use in sensor averaging to each of the two or more sensors that are selected by the user to be used by the controller in providing temperature control to the building. 4. The HVAC controller of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to allow the user to select which of the two or more sensors will be used by the controller in providing humidification control to the building. 5. The HVAC controller of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to allow the user to select which of the two or more sensors will be used by the controller in providing dehumidification control to the building. 6. The HVAC controller of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to allow the user to select which of the two or more sensors will be used for viewing only. 7. The HVAC controller of claim 1, wherein the HVAC controller comprises an internal temperature sensor, and wherein the internal temperature sensor comprises one of the two or more sensors. 8. An HVAC controller configured to control one or more components of an HVAC system of a building, the HVAC controller comprising: a user interface including a display;a memory;an I/O block for sending and/or receiving signals to and/or from the one or more components of the HVAC system including two or more sensors, wherein the two or more sensors comprise one or more wireless sensors;a controller operatively coupled the user interface, the memory and the I/O block, the controller is configured to enroll one or more of the wireless sensors, and once one or more wireless sensors are enrolled, to solicit an identifier from a user for at least one of the one or more enrolled wireless sensors via the user interface of the HVAC controller, wherein upon acceptance of an identifier for the at least one of the one or more enrolled wireless sensors, the controller is configured to store the accepted identifier(s) in the memory of the HVAC controller; andwherein the controller is configured to display a list that includes at least two sensors on the display of the user interface, and the controller is configured to prompt the user via the user interface to select two or more sensors from the list of at least two sensors for sensor averaging. 9.

The HVAC controller of claim 8, wherein the HVAC controller comprises an internal temperature sensor. 14. An HVAC control system for controlling one or more components of an HVAC system of a building, the HVAC control system comprising: one or more wireless devices;a controller configured to enroll the one or more wireless devices, and once one or more wireless devices are enrolled, to solicit an identifier, a location and/or a function from a user for at least one of the one or more enrolled wireless devices; andwherein at least some of the enrolled wireless devices are configured to detect a first low battery condition of the enrolled wireless device, and in response, to wirelessly send a signal indicative of the first low battery condition to the controller, wherein in response, the controller is configured to indicate on a display which of the enrolled wireless devices have a first low battery condition. 15. The HVAC control system of claim 14, wherein in response to the first low battery condition, the controller is configured to display an alert on the display identifying the corresponding enrolled wireless device. 16. The HVAC control system of claim 14, wherein the controller is further configured to display on the display the identifier, the location and/or the function of each of the enrolled wireless devices that are indicated as having the first low battery condition. 17. The HVAC control system of claim 14, wherein at least some of the enrolled wireless devices are configured to detect a second low battery condition after further battery depletion, and in response, to activate an indicator on the corresponding enrolled wireless device itself to indicate the second low battery condition. 18. The HVAC control system of claim 14, wherein the one or more enrolled wireless devices include one or more of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a gas sensor, an equipment interface module, another HVAC controller, a zone control panel, a damper, and a valve.
