HVAC system with automated device pairing

A method of a building for pairing building devices, the method comprising:

• operating, by one or more processing circuits, an actuation device of the building to affect a variable of the building;
• generating, by the one or more processing circuits, an actuation data time series indicating operation of the actuation device;
• receiving, by the one or more processing circuits, a plurality of sensor response signals from a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensor response signals indicating an effect of the operation of the actuation device;
• generating, by the one or more processing circuits, a plurality of sensor data time series based on the plurality of sensor response signals;
• performing, by the one or more processing circuits, a time series analysis on the actuation data time series and the plurality of sensor data time series, wherein performing the time series analysis includes:
• detecting a dimensional mismatch between the actuation data time series and a particular sensor data time series;
• and
• correcting the dimensional mismatch by modifying at least one of the actuation data time series and the particular sensor data time series;
• and
• establishing, by the one or more processing circuits, a device pairing comprising the actuation device and one sensor of the plurality of sensors based on the time series analysis.

One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• operate an actuation device of a building to affect a variable of the building;
• generate an actuation data time series indicating operation of the actuation device;
• receive a plurality of sensor response signals from a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensor response signals indicating an effect of the operation of the actuation device;
• generate a plurality of sensor data time series based on the plurality of sensor response signals;
• perform a time series analysis on the actuation data time series and the plurality of sensor data time series, wherein performing the time series analysis includes:
• determining one or more sensor coefficients for each of the plurality of sensors based on the plurality of sensor data time series;
• determining one or more actuation device coefficients based on the actuation data time series;
• and
• identifying the one sensor of the plurality of sensors associated with the actuation device based on the one or more sensor coefficients and the one or more actuation device coefficients;
• and
• establish a device pairing comprising the actuation device and the one sensor of the plurality of sensors based on the time series analysis.
