Abstract: A sensor unit includes an air quality sensor configured to generate air quality data that includes a value for volatile organic compounds. The sensor unit is configured to determine a first health metric indicative of a condition within a space in which the sensor unit is located based on the value in a first mode of operation, to determine a second health metric indicative of a person's health based on the value in a second mode of operation, and to generate a notification indicating at least one of the first health metric or the second health metric.

Abstract: A controller in a building management system (BMS) includes an integrated wireless network processor chip. The integrated wireless network processor chip includes a wireless radio, a processor, and memory. The wireless radio is configured to exchange data communications with one or more BMS devices controlled by the controller. Both the processor and memory are in communication with the wireless radio and located on the same chip as the wireless radio. The memory includes communication stacks configured to facilitate communications using a building automation and control network communications protocol and a Wi-Fi communications protocol. The integrated wireless network processor chip receives data from the BMS devices via the wireless radio, formats the data using the processor, stores the data in the memory, and sends the data via the wireless radio without requiring any additional processing or communications components outside the integrated wireless network processor chip.

Abstract: A building management system including a system manager, a zone coordinator, and one or more zone controllers configured to monitor and control building zones. The system manager includes a system bus datalink having an active node table stored therein. The zone coordinator includes a second system bus datalink and a zone bus datalink. A system bus connects the first system bus datalink to the second system bus datalink. A zone bus connects the zone bus datalink to the one or more zone controllers. The active node table includes a plurality of nodes, each node representing a system bus device communicating on the system bus. The system manager is configured to monitor the active node table for new nodes and to identify a new system bus device communicating on the system bus in response to a determination that the active node table includes a new node.

Abstract: A thermostat includes a motherboard, a first modular board, and a display. The motherboard is configured to perform a thermostat function and generate a user interface a user interface including information relating to the thermostat function. The first modular board is configured to be added to the thermostat by coupling the first modular board to the motherboard and to be removed from the thermostat by decoupling the first modular board from the motherboard. The first modular board is configured to supplement the thermostat function performed by the motherboard when the first modular board is coupled to the motherboard. The display is communicably coupled to the motherboard. The display is configured to display the user interface. The motherboard is configured to adaptively reconfigure the user interface to include supplemental information provided by the first modular board in response to coupling of the first modular board to the motherboard.
