Device commissioning in a heating, ventilation and air conditioning network
First Claim
1. A method for commissioning a first device that can communicate with a second device in a HVAC network, comprising:
- entering a commissioning process by said first device of a subnet of said HVAC network;
said first device reading a feature manifest of a second device;
said first device setting a parameter validity, as determined by said feature manifest;
said first device setting an internal parameter value of said first device as determined by said feature manifest; and
informing an installer on validity and value of said parameter.

Abstract
The disclosure provides various systems and methods for conveying information between a communicating first device and a second coupled device of a HVAC network. In various embodiments, a checking of a subnet of the HVAC network for both communicating device and a non-communicating device by the communicating first device occurs. It is determined whether the second coupled device in a non-communicating device. An installer is allowed to set parameters of the non-communicating device through employment of a manifest list of features used by the non-communicating device that is accessible by the communicating device.
