Method and systems for configuring a modular building control system

A system for configuring a modular building control system of a building, the system comprising:

• a base module including a controller, a memory, and a communications interface;
• one or more expansion modules in communication with the base module, the one or more expansion modules configured to interface with one or components of the modular building control system;
• wherein the controller of the base module is configured to enter a configuration mode, and once in the configuration mode:
• collect information from each of the one or more expansion modules;
• store configuration parameters for the base module and each of the one or more expansion modules that are based on the information collected from the one or more expansion modules;
• transmit to each of the one or more expansion modules their respective configuration parameters for installation on each of the one or more expansion modules;
• install the configuration parameters for the base module on the base module;
• exit the configuration mode and entering an operational mode;
• once in the operational mode, the controller of the base module controlling the modular building control system in conjunction with the one or more expansion modules.

A system for configuring a modular building control system of a building, the system comprising:

• a base module including a controller, a memory, and one or more communications interfaces;
• one or more expansion modules in communication with the base module, the one or more expansion modules configured to interface with one or more components of the modular building control system;
• a cloud server in communication with the base module;
• the controller of the base module is configured to:
• collect information from the base module and the one or more expansion modules;
• and
• transmit at least some of the collected information to the cloud server;
• wherein upon receipt of the information from the base module, the cloud server is configured to create a system configuration for the modular building control system using the information collected from the base module and the one or more expansion modules, and to transmit the system configuration to the base module, the system configuration including configuration parameters for the base module and each of the one or more expansion modules;
• the controller of the base module is configured to transmit to each of the one or more expansion modules their respective configuration parameters;
• the controller of the base module is configured to install the configuration parameters for the base module on the base module;
• each of the one or more expansion modules is configured to install their respective configuration parameters;
• and
• once the base module and each of the one or more expansion modules have installed their respective configuration parameters, the controller of the base module is configured to control the modular building control system in conjunction with the one or more expansion modules.
