Hvac device registration in a distributed building management system

A distributed building management system, the system comprising:

• an HVAC device;
• and
• a distributed BMS device, comprising a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
• request a token, the token configured to authorize a registration of the HVAC device;
• receive the token at a registration service;
• receive a unique ID associated with the HVAC device;
• register the device into a document database of the registration service;
• and
• generate a device shadow associated with the HVAC device within a data platform of the distributed (BMS).

A method for registering an Internet of Things (IoT) HVAC device in a distributed building management system (BMS), comprising:

• requesting a token, the token configured to authorize a registration of the IoT HVAC device;
• receiving the token at a registration service;
• receiving a unique ID associated with the IoT HVAC device;
• registering the device into a document database of the registration service;
• generating a device shadow associated with the IoT HVAC device within a data platform of the distributed BMS;
• and
• claiming the IoT HVAC device, wherein claiming the IoT HVAC device provides secure communications between the IoT HVAC device and the distributed building management system.
