Sensor Installation in a Building Management System
First Claim
1. A method for installing a sensor in a building management system, comprising:
- determining a sensor type of said sensor from among a plurality of supported sensor types based on information collected by a mobile device of a user;
identifying configuration information required by said building management system for said determined sensor type;
obtaining said required configuration information from said user using an interface on said mobile device, wherein at least a portion of said interface is generated to accommodate one or more requirements of said building management system with respect to said determined sensor type; and
providing said obtained required configuration information to said building management system.

Abstract
A sensor is installed in a building management system by determining a sensor type of the sensor from among a plurality of supported sensor types based on information collected by a mobile device of a user; identifying configuration information required by the building management system for the determined sensor type; obtaining the required configuration information from the user using an interface on the mobile device, wherein at least a portion of the interface is generated to accommodate one or more requirements of the building management system with respect to the determined sensor type; and providing the obtained required configuration information to the building management system. The sensor type and unique identifier of the sensor can be automatically determined. Portions of the required configuration information for the determined sensor type can be automatically populated using default information for the determined sensor type.
