METHOD AND DEVICE FOR BINDING IN A BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM

An automation component (200) configured for wireless communication withi n a building automation system is disclosed. The automation component includ es a wireless communications component (210), a processor (202) in communica tions with the wireless communications component and a memory (204) in commu nication with the processor, the memory configured to stored computer readab le instructions which are executable by the processor. The computer readable instructions are programmed to generate a binding request including a devic e identifier, broadcast the binding request (412) via the wireless communica tions component (210), and establish a binding relationship (426) based on a received response to the binding request. A method for binding an automatio n component within a building automation system is further disclosed. The me thod includes communicating a binding request (412) via a wireless communica tion link wherein the binding request includes a device identifier, receivin g a binding response via the wireless communication link, and establishing a binding relationship (426) based on the received binding response.
