1. A computer-implemented method performed by data processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving commissioning data for a wireless network, the commissioning data including;
a device list specifying a plurality of wireless devices to join or that have joined the wireless network;
zone configuration data specifying a plurality of zones in the wireless network and further specifying, for each zone, one or more devices of the plurality of wireless devices that belong to the zone; and
receiving physical environment data defining a plurality of physical deployment areas in which the plurality of wireless devices are deployed;
receiving configuration preferences for the wireless network and the physical environment data;
automatically generating consolidated zone configuration data from the commissioning data, the physical environment data, and the configuration preferences, the consolidated zone configuration data specifying a plurality of consolidated zones in the wireless network, each of the consolidated zones;
corresponding to one of the physical deployment areas;
specifying respective one or more wireless devices that belong to the consolidated zone; and
commissioning the wireless network according to the consolidated zone configuration data.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for commissioning and optimizing a wireless network. In one aspect, a method includes a wireless network configuration and optimization engine receives configuration data for a wireless network and monitors performance of the wireless network. The engine processes the data to perform on or more automated commissioning operations, and one or more automated optimization operations, thus simplifying commissioning and maintenance of the wireless network.
