Systems and methods of verifying installation of building automation devices

A method of verifying installation of an Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device at a remote site, the method comprising:

• storing a self-executing smart contract associated with a blockchain distributed ledger, where the smart contract identifies the identified Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device and one or more verification criteria for establishing that the Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device has been properly installed;
• receiving data, at a service provider server, from the identified Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device over the Internet after the identified Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device has been installed and connected to the service provider server over the Internet by an installer;
• determining one or more parameters based on the received data that relate to whether the identified Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device has been properly installed and connected to the service provider server over the internet by the installer;
• and
• providing one or more of the parameters to the blockchain distributed ledger, wherein the smart contract of the blockchain distributed ledger self-executes to:
• automatically identify whether the one or more verification criteria have been satisfied based at least in part on one or more of the parameters, and when the one or more verification criteria have been satisfied, provide an indication to the installer that the Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device has been properly installed.

A system for verifying installation of an Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device at a remote site, the system comprising:

• a service provider server initiating a self-executing smart contract associated with a blockchain distributed ledger on the Internet for the installation of the identified Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device, wherein the smart contract identifies the identified Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device and one or more verification criteria for establishing that the Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device has been properly installed;
• the service provider server receiving information from the identified Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device over the Internet after the identified Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device has been installed and connected to the service provider server over the Internet by an installer;
• the service provider server determining one or more parameters based on the received information that relate to whether the identified Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device has been properly installed and connected to the service provider server over the Internet by the installer;
• the service provider server providing the one or more of the parameters to the blockchain distributed ledger, wherein the smart contract of the blockchain distributed ledger is configured to self-execute to:
• automatically compare one or more of the parameters to one or more of the verification criteria to determine whether the identified Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device has been properly installed and connected to the service provider server over the Internet by the installer, and update the blockchain distributed ledger;
• and
• automatically provide an indication to the installer that the Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device has been properly installed by the installer when the smart contract of the blockchain distributed ledger determines that the identified Internet Protocol (IP) connectable building automation device has been properly installed and connected to the service provider server over the Internet by the installer.
