Smart gateway devices, systems and methods for providing communication between HVAC system networks

A method for providing communications between a first network associated with a building management system (BMS) and a second network associated with a subsystem of the BMS, the method comprising:

• discovering a physical device on the second network;
• receiving data comprising a device identifier from the physical device;
• generating a new virtual device responsive to a determination that the device identifier does not match any device identifiers in a virtual device registry, the virtual device registry providing mapping between the new virtual device and the physical device, one or more data points of the new virtual device corresponding to one or more data points of the physical device;
• receiving data values for the one or more data points of the physical device;
• and
• updating the one or more data points of the new virtual device with the data values obtained from the physical device, the virtual device configured to represent the physical device on the first network.

A system for providing communications between a first network associated with a building management system (BMS) and a second network associated with a subsystem of the BMS, the system comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement operations comprising:
• discovering a physical device on the second network;
• receiving data comprising a device identifier from the physical device;
• generating a new virtual device responsive to a determination that the device identifier does not match any device identifiers in a virtual device registry, the virtual device registry providing mapping between the new virtual device and the physical device, one or more data points of the new virtual device corresponding to one or more data points of the physical device;
• receiving data values for the one or more data points of the physical device;
• and
• updating the one or more data points of the new virtual device with the data values obtained from the physical device, the virtual device configured to represent the physical device on the first network.
