MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANAGING OPERATION OF A PLURALITY OF ACTUATORS

A Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Cooling (HVAC) system is provided. The system includes an actuator and a sensor system. The actuator includes an electric motor, a controller connected to the electric motor and a first close range radio communication interface. The sensor system includes one or more sensors, and a second close range radio communication interface. The second close range radio communication interface is connected to the one or more sensors and establishes a local wireless communication link to the actuator via the first close range radio communication interface, and transmits operational values measured by the one or more sensors via the local wireless communication link to the actuator. The controller is connected to the first close range radio communication interface and receives the operational values via the local wireless communication link and controls operation of the actuator's electric motor in accordance with the operational values.
