Abstract

Systems and methods for generating a zone configuration and associated cause and effect logic files for a security system, a fire alarm system, or a home automation system are provided. Such systems and methods may include automatically using structural details of a building and a respective placement of each of the plurality of devices as identified in a site map file to generate a zone configuration subdividing into a plurality of zones a layout of the building documented in the site map file and generating a respective cause and effect logic file for each of the plurality of zones based on, respective specifications for each of the plurality of devices and the respective placement of each of the plurality of devices with respect to to each of the plurality of zones.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving a site map file documenting a layout of a building, the site map file including at least structural details of the building and a respective placement of each of a plurality of devices within the building;
using the structural details and the respective placement of each of the plurality of devices identified from the site map file to generate a zone configuration subdividing the layout of the building into a plurality of zones;
identifying a respective specification for each of the plurality of devices;
generating a respective cause and effect logic file for each of the plurality of zones based on the respective specification for each of the plurality of devices and the respective placement of each of the plurality of devices with respect to each of the plurality of zones;
and
transmitting the zone configuration and the respective cause and effect logic file for each of the plurality of zones to a control panel coupled to each of the plurality of devices.

3 more elements

A system comprising:

a plurality of devices deployed throughout a building;
a control panel coupled to each of the plurality of devices;
and
a user interface device,
wherein the user interface device receives a site map file documenting a layout of the building,
wherein the site map file includes at least structural details of the building and a respective placement of each of the plurality of devices within the building,
wherein the user interface device uses the structural details and the respective placement of each of the plurality of devices identified from the site map file to generate a zone configuration subdividing the layout into a plurality of zones,
wherein the user interface device identifies a respective specification for each of the plurality of devices,
wherein the user interface device generates a respective cause and effect logic file for each of the plurality of zones based on the respective specification for each of the plurality of devices and the respective placement of each of the plurality of devices with respect to each of the plurality of zones, and
wherein the user interface device transmits the zone configuration and the respective cause and effect logic file for each of the plurality of zones to the control panel.
