Abstract:
A thermostat in a building includes an occupancy sensor configured to collect occupancy data. The thermostat includes a communications interface configured to communicate with one or more display devices for the building and a user interface configured to display information to a user and receive input from the user. The thermostat includes a processing circuit configured to identify the user based on the occupancy data and generate building navigation directions based on the identity of the user and cause the user interface to display at least a portion of the building navigation directions. The processing circuit is configured to cause the communications interface to send at least a portion of the building navigation directions to at least one of the display devices in the building.
