Method and apparatus for evaluation of temperature sensors

A method comprising:

• receiving temperature information from one or more control panels of a building management system, wherein the temperature information is based on sensor values received by the one or more control panels from a plurality of heterogenous temperature detectors for measuring temperatures of ambient environments of a building;
• converting the temperature information into a uniform format configured for consumption by a temperature detector evaluation module;
• generating aggregate temperature information based on the temperature information;
• identifying a particular temperature detector requiring service based on detecting outlier temperature information from among the aggregate temperature information;
• and
• transmitting service tasks for the particular temperature detector requiring the service to one or more mobile computing devices associated with a technician that performs the service on the building management system.

A service management system for facilitating service of building management systems of a building, comprising:

• a building management system panel interface for:
• receiving a plurality of device events that include temperature information that is based on sensor values from a plurality of heterogenous temperature detectors connected to one or more building panels, wherein the plurality of heterogenous temperature detectors measure temperatures of an ambient environment of the building;
• and
• converting the temperature information to a uniform format;
• and
• a temperature detector evaluation module for:
• detecting outlier temperature information based on whether the temperature information includes discontinuities and/or anomalies;
• and
• identifying that a particular temperature detector that is associated with the outlier temperature information requires the service.
