Building automation scheduling system and method

A method for scheduling electronic devices of a building automation system comprising:

• storing a plurality of space nodes identifying spaces located within a building and associated with one or more electronic devices installed within respective spaces in the building;
• classifying the space nodes by room categories;
• defining room states each comprising at least one control command for one or more electronic devices in a space;
• defining day patterns by assigning at least one room state to at least one room category over a course of a day;
• and
• assigning the day patterns to calendar days on a calendar.

A method for scheduling electronic devices of a building automation system comprising:

• storing a plurality of space nodes identifying spaces located within a building and associated with one or more electronic devices installed within respective spaces in the building;
• storing a calendar comprising weekdays, weekends, and holidays;
• classifying the space nodes by room categories;
• defining room states each comprising at least two control commands for at least two electronic devices installed in a space;
• defining a weekday day pattern, a weekend day pattern, and a holiday day pattern by assigning for each day pattern at least one room state to at least one room category over a course of a day;
• automatically assigning the weekday day pattern to the weekdays on the calendar;
• automatically assigning the weekend day pattern to weekends on the calendar;
• automatically assigning the holiday day pattern to holidays on the calendar;
• and
• transmitting control commands to the one or more electronic devices during a calendar day according to the assigned day pattern.
