1. A device for controlling a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system within a building, the device comprising:
an analog display including a set of markers; and
processing circuitry configured to:
determine whether one of a cooling set point mode or a heating set point mode is activated;
cause, in response to determining whether one of the cooling set point mode or the heating set point mode is activated, a set point to change from a first set point value to a second set point value in response to receiving a first rotation input to a dial; and
control a set of LEDs to transition from illuminating a first marker of the set of markers to illuminating a second marker of the set of markers,
wherein the first marker corresponds to the first set point value and the second marker corresponds to the second set point value.
