Abstract
A system and method of detecting positions of HVAC automation devices of an HVAC system with respect to an HVAC information plan representing the HVAC system are described. For each HVAC automation device, separation distances between the respective HVAC automation device and multiple other HVAC automation devices and/or a mobile device are measured using antenna transmission and reception distance measuring. Separation distance data is generated. For each HVAC automation device, a position in the HVAC information plan is identified based on the separation distance data.
Claims26
A method of detecting positions of HVAC automation devices of an HVAC system with respect to an HVAC information plan representing at least partially the HVAC system, the method comprising:
- determining, for each HVAC automation device of the HVAC automation devices, separation distances between the respective HVAC automation device and multiple other HVAC automation devices by measuring antenna transmission and reception distance, and generating separation distance data therefrom;
- and
- identifying, for each HVAC automation device, a position in the HVAC information plan based on the separation distance data.
(canceled)
A method of detecting positions of HVAC automation devices of an HVAC system with respect to an HVAC information plan representing at least partially the HVAC system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the HVAC automation devices, separation distance data representing, for each HVAC automation device of the HVAC automation devices, separation distances between the respective HVAC automation device and multiple other HVAC automation devices of the HVAC system, the separation distance data based on measuring antenna transmission and reception distance;
- and
- identifying, for each HVAC automation device, a position in the HVAC information plan based on the separation distance data.

A system for an HVAC system, the system comprising:
- a plurality of HVAC automation devices, each HVAC automation device comprising a communications unit configured for antenna communication with at least one other of the HVAC automation devices;
- and
- a data processing unit configured to communicate with the plurality of HVAC automation devices, and configured to detect positions of the HVAC automation devices with respect to an HVAC information plan representing at least partially the HVAC system, wherein the data processing unit is further configured to:
- determine, for each HVAC automation device of the plurality of HVAC automation devices, separation distances between the respective HVAC automation device and multiple other HVAC automation devices by measuring antenna transmission and reception distance, and generate separation distance data therefrom;
- and
- identify, for each HVAC automation device, a position in the HVAC information plan based on the separation distance data.
