METHOD AND TOOL FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS WITH SLEEPING DEVICES IN A WIRELESS SENSOR CONTROL NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method of communicating with automation components configured for use within a building automation system, the method comprising:
- determining a first communication schedule, the first communication schedule configured to govern an activity schedule for use by an automation component;
communicating the first communication schedule to the automation component, wherein the automation component currently implements a second communication schedule to govern the activity schedule; and
adjusting the second communication schedule to equal the communicated first communication schedule, wherein the activity schedule increases a communication frequency in response to the adjustment.

Abstract
A method of communicating with automation components configured for use within a building automation system is disclosed. The method includes determining a first communication schedule such that the first communication schedule configured to govern an activity schedule for use by an automation component, communicating the first communication schedule to the automation component such that the automation component currently implements a second communication schedule to govern the activity schedule, and adjusting the second communication schedule to equal the communicated first communication schedule such that the activity schedule increases a communication frequency in response to the adjustment. The method may further include defining a duration during which the first communication schedule equals the second communication schedule.
