Method and system for configuring a wireless interface of a building controller

A building controller, comprising:

• a housing;
• a wireless interface housed by the housing;
• a non-volatile memory housed by the housing for storing a default wireless configuration for the wireless interface;
• a controller housed by the housing operatively coupled to the wireless interface and the non-volatile memory, the controller configured to:
• configure the wireless interface with the default wireless configuration;
• establish via the wireless interface a wireless network connection with a default wireless access point using the default wireless configuration, wherein the default wireless access point is in communication with a configuration tool;
• receive an updated wireless configuration from the configuration tool via the wireless network connection with the default wireless access point;
• store the updated wireless configuration in the non-volatile memory;
• configure the wireless interface with the updated wireless configuration, and terminating the wireless network connection with the default wireless access point;
• attempt to establish a wireless network connection via the wireless interface with a remote device, wherein:
• when the wireless network connection is successfully established with the remote device using the updated wireless configuration, the controller disabling the default wireless configuration of the wireless interface to thereby prevent subsequent attempts to establish via the wireless interface a subsequent network connection using the default wireless configuration;
• and
• when the wireless network connection is not successfully established with the remote device using the updated wireless configuration, the controller automatically configuring the wireless interface back to the default wireless configuration to allow subsequent attempts to establish via the wireless interface a subsequent network connection using the default wireless configuration.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors of a building controller, cause the building controller to:

• configure a wireless interface of the building controller with a default wireless configuration;
• establish via the wireless interface a wireless network connection using the default wireless configuration;
• receive an updated wireless configuration via the wireless network connection;
• configure the wireless interface with the updated wireless configuration;
• attempt to establish a wireless network connection via the wireless interface with a remote device, wherein;
• when the wireless network connection is successfully established with the remote device using the updated wireless configuration, disabling the default wireless configuration of the wireless interface to thereby prevent subsequent attempts to establish via the wireless interface a subsequent network connection using the default wireless configuration;
• and
• when the wireless network connection is not successfully established with the remote device using the updated wireless configuration, automatically configure the wireless interface back to the default wireless configuration to allow subsequent attempts to establish via the wireless interface a subsequent network connection using the default wireless configuration.
