  • UNIVERSAL GATEWAY DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTEGRATING DISPARATE PROTOCOLS
    Publication number: 20230080899
    Abstract: A universal gateway device includes a first network interface circuit and a second network interface circuit. The first network interface circuit is utilized to communicate over a first network associated with an Internet of Things (IoT) management system utilizing a first communications protocol. The second network interface circuit is utilized to communicate over a second network associated with an IoT device utilizing a second communications protocol that is different from the first communications protocol. The first network interface circuit generates a virtual device representation of the IoT device on the first network. The virtual device representation is utilized to communicate data from the IoT device over the first network utilizing the first communications protocol.

  • Systems and methods for voice control of BMS devices
    Patent number: 11133000
    Abstract: A portable gateway device for use with a Building Management System (BMS) enables voice command control of BMS devices. The portable gateway device comprises a Wi-Fi module, a serial communications interface, and a data conversion module. The Wi-Fi module is configured to enable communication with a user device via Wi-Fi. The portable gateway device is configured to receive a voice command spoken by a user of the user device. The serial communications interface is configured to enable communication with a bus connected to a BMS device. The data conversion module is configured to translate the voice command received from the user device into a control action associated with the BMS device. The portable gateway device is configured to provide the control action to the BMS device via the serial communications interface. The control action affects a state or condition of the BMS device.
