  • Building management system with automatic binding of equipment data
    Patent number: 11262741
    Abstract: A building management system includes building equipment operable to affect a physical state or condition of a building, a system manager coupled to equipment via a system bus, and a cloud-based data platform. The system manager is configured to obtain timeseries data from the building equipment and generate a request for a timeseries identifier based on the timeseries data. The cloud-based data platform includes a timeseries service configured to receive the request for the timeseries identifier from the system manager, create a timeseries for the building equipment, assign the timeseries identifier to the timeseries, and send the timeseries identifier to the system manager. The system manager is configured to generate a timeseries sample comprising the timeseries data and send the timeseries sample to the timeseries service along with the timeseries identifier which identifies the timeseries sample as a sample of the timeseries.
