Abstract
A building control device includes a controller for controlling one or more building control components, the controller configured to generate building control information and/or consume building control information. The building control device includes an MQTT component that is operatively coupled to the controller, the MQTT component for publishing outgoing building control information generated by the controller and/or subscribing to incoming building control information for consumption by the controller over an IP network. A MUD component is for use in advertising one or more specifications for the building control device on the IP network.

A building control device comprising:
- a controller for controlling one or more building control components, the controller configured to generate building control information and/or consume building control information;
- an MQTT component operatively coupled to the controller, the MQTT component for publishing outgoing building control information generated by the controller and/or subscribing to incoming building control information for consumption by the controller over an IP network;
- and
- a Device Advertisement Specification component that includes a MUD component for use in advertising one or more specifications for the building control device on the IP network.
A building control device comprising:
- a controller for controlling one or more building control components, the controller configured to generate building control information and/or consume building control information;
- a message publisher-subscriber component operatively coupled to the controller, the message publisher-subscriber component for publishing outgoing building control information generated by the controller and/or subscribing to incoming building control information for consumption by the controller over an IP network;
- and
- a network connection definition component for use in advertising one or more network intentions of the building control device on the IP network.
A method for connecting a building control device to an IP network, the method comprising:
- advertising one or more network intentions of the building control device on the IP network;
- establishing a virtual private network over the IP network based at least in part on one or more of the network intentions stored by the building control device;
- publishing outgoing building control information generated by the building control device and/or subscribing to incoming building control information for consumption by the building control device over the virtual private network established over the IP network.
