Zusammenfassung:	In one aspect, the invention relates to a configurable thermostat including a thermostat core having a user interface. The user interface includes a plurality of user interface keys, a display, a temperature sensor, and a temperature control. The configurable thermostat also includes a universal thermostat expansion port. The universal thermostat expansion port is disposed on the thermostat core. The universal thermostat expansion port includes at least one electrical connector. The electrical connector electrically couples a daughter board to the thermostat core, wherein the daughter board is communicately coupled to the thermostat core by an ASCII communications protocol. According to another aspect of the invention, a method for configuring a thermostat uses a personal computer with a thermostat having a user removable memory. Yet another aspect of the invention is a method for rapidly producing a thermostat having new features without needing to redesign the entire thermostat. Dans l'un de ses aspects, l'invention concerne un thermostat configurable comprenant un coer de thermostat muni d'une interface utilisateur. Cette interface utilisateur possède une pluralité de touches d'interface utilisateur, un écran, un capteur de température et un régulateur de température. Ledit thermostat configurable comprend également un port d'extension de thermostat universel. Ce dernier est placé sur le coer de thermostat et possède au moins un connecteur électrique grâce auquel une carte fille est couplée électriquement au coer de thermostat. La carte fille est couplée de manière communicante au coer de thermostat par le biais d'un protocole de communication ASCII. Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, un procédé de configuration de thermostat s'effectue grâce à un ordinateur personnel, le thermostat ayant une mémoire amovible d'utilisateur. Un autre aspect de l'invention propose un procédé permettant de produire rapidement un thermostat possédant de nouvelles caractéristiques sans avoir besoin de transformer le thermostat tout entier.
