摘要： A system for managing communication between building management system (BMS) devices includes a memory and a controller. The memory includes instructions stored thereon. The controller is configured to execute the instructions to implement an agent manager, a zone manager, and a channel manager. The agent manager is configured to generate an agent for each of the BMS devices. The zone manager is configured to define at least one zone relating to a physical location zone or a building control zone. The channel manager is configured to generate a communication channel associated with the at least one zone. The channel manager is further configured to manage registration of an agent to the communication channel, wherein an agent is configured to communicate over a communication channel in response to being registered to the communication channel.

摘要： One or more non-transitory computer readable media contain program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including generating a database of interconnected smart entities. The smart entities include sensor object entities representing each of the plurality of sensors and data entities representing measurements received from the sensors. The smart entities are interconnected by relational objects indicating relationships between the smart entities. The instructions cause the one or more processors to receive a new measurement from a first sensor, identify a first data entity from a relational object for the first sensor, the first data entity including a plurality of past measurements received from the first sensor, and modify the first data entity within the database of smart entities to include the new measurement received from the first sensor.

摘要： A building campus with an integrated smart environment can provide frictionless access control and device management services among other benefits. A method for providing frictionless access control includes maintaining a directory of individuals associated with the building, receiving identity information related to an individual seeking authorization to enter an access point in the building from at least one access control device, identifying the individual by comparing the identity information to the directory, identifying a user device associated with the individual using the directory, sending an authorization request to the user device, and authorizing the individual to enter the access point upon completion of the authorization request. A system for providing device management services includes registering devices from different manufacturers to a directory and authorizing one or more users to access and monitor parameters associated with each device.

摘要： 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.

摘要： One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive, from a sensor, identifying information associated with an individual, query a database to retrieve context information corresponding to the individual, the database comprising a number of entities corresponding to two or more of spaces, equipment, people, or events and a number of relationships between the entities, the context information determined based on the entities and relationships of the database, determine a purpose of the individual based on the context information, dynamically generate a user interface element for a display based on the purpose of the individual, and control the display to display the user interface element.

摘要： A flow control device is configured to control fluid flow in an HVAC system. The flow control device includes a valve, an actuator configured to open and close the valve, and one or more sensors. The flow control device further includes a fault detection and correction agent configured to receive data from the one or more sensors, analyze the data according to a set of rules, and detect whether one or more faults have occurred. In response to detecting a fault, the fault detection and correction agent is configured to either operate the actuator to open or close the valve or initiate a corrective action to be taken by another device in the HVAC system.
