8. A system for personalizing heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) controls in a building, the system comprising:
HVAC equipment
a user device; and
a cloud server comprising a processing circuit, the processing circuit comprising one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving environmental data via a cloud network;
generating an application based on the received environmental data; and
providing the application to a user interface via the cloud network, wherein the application is configured to:
provide a user with a plurality of personalization widgets via the user interface; and
receive a selection of a first widget and a second widget of the plurality of personalization widgets via the user interface, the first widget and the second widget associated with different control strategies;
providing control signals to the HVAC equipment in the building by executing the different control strategies concurrently; and
prompting, via the application, the user to unselect the first widget or the second widget in response to an interference between the different control strategies
wherein the first widget is a sleep widget configured to receive a set of sleep preferences of the user of the user interface; and
wherein executing the different control strategies comprises determining a first set of control signals based on the set of sleep preferences of the user and providing the first set of control signals to the HVAC equipment.
