Abstract: A building automation system (BAS) is configured to support a variety of different natural language processing (NLP) service providers with minimal or no redesign effort. The BAS includes an event handler configured to receive an external request from a service provider. The external request is associated with a voice input uttered by a user. The BAS further includes an abstraction layer configured to receive the external request from the event handler and generate an internal request based on the external request. The BAS further includes an intent processor configured to receive the internal request from the abstraction layer and an intent handler in communication with the intent processor and configured to perform an action in accordance with the internal request.

Abstract: A system for user interaction with a building automation system (BAS). The system includes a user device configured to accept vocal inputs and produce audio outputs, and a server in communication with the user device and a BAS controller. The server is configured to translate a vocal input to input text, and determine and store a conversation context based on the input text. The server is further configured to determine a desired output corresponding to the input text. Additionally, the server is configured to receive, from the BAS controller, BAS data corresponding to the desired output, and generate at least one audio output from the BAS data. The user device outputs the at least one audio output, and the server is configured to apply the conversation context to a subsequent vocal input.
