Hot Reprogrammability of Building Automation Devices
First Claim
1. A building automation system with hot reprogrammability of building automation devices, comprising:
- an automation network communicatively coupling at leas one input device with a plurality of control devices, the input device generating a signal in response to an event and issuing the signal to at least one of the control devices;
at least one script provided at each of the plurality of control devices, the at least one script being executed at the at least one control device receiving the signal from the input device to control a building automation function in response to the event based on instruction in the at least one script;
a bridge communicatively coupled to the automation network, the bridge issuing an updated script to the at least one control device to change control of the building automation function.

Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing hot reprogrammability of building automation devices are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment a method to soft-update a building automation device may comprise issuing a signal to the building automation device in a response to an event. The method may also comprise executing at least one script at the building automation device in response to receiving the signal to control an automation functioning response to the event based only instructions in the at least one script. The method may also comprise replacing the at least one script with at least one updated script to change control of the automation functioning response to the same event without having to make any hardward changes at the building automation device.
