The ornamental design which is claimed is shown in solid lines in the drawings.

While the accompanying drawings illustrate one or more exemplary embodiments, it should be understood that according to other exemplary embodiments that should be considered to be within the possession of the inventors of the present application at the time this application is being filed, it is contemplated that any illustrated solid lines (or portions thereof) may be converted to broken lines and that any illustrated broken lines (or portions thereof) may be converted to solid lines so as to claim or disclaim portions, components, or sub-components of the designs shown. The inventors anticipate that the invention can be any part, portion, element, or combination of element of the depicted design. It is further contemplated that shading may be added or removed to claim or disclaim the corresponding surfaces. Color and texture may or may not form part of the claimed design without departing from the design disclosed.

Some features of the ornamental design relate to a graphical user interface. The user interface may be displayed on a variety of different electronic displays including but not limited to electronic thermostats, communications terminals, desktop computers, laptop computers, tablets, smartphones, portable electronic devices, smart phones, and/or other types of electronic displays. The user interface may be displayed at a variety of different resolutions and sizes and certain components of the design may be stretched or shrunk depending on the resolution and size variables. The user interface may transition between the images shown in FIGS. 1-13. The process or period in which one image transitions to another image forms no part of the claimed design.

The broken lines in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design. Broken lines formed by equal length dashes show unclaimed portions of the design. The particular text of the user interfaces is intended to be shown in broken lines and unclaimed. Broken lines formed of unequal length dashes (i.e., dash-dot) show boundaries between claimed and unclaimed portions of the design.
