Reducing nuisance notifications from a building automation system

A computer implemented method for reducing nuisance notifications from a building automation system, comprising:

• receiving, from a mobile device among a number of mobile devices, instructions to suppress notifications of a first alarm, wherein the first alarm includes a first number of attributes;
• receiving, from a building automation system, a notification of a second alarm, wherein the second alarm includes a second number of attributes;
• comparing the second number of attributes to the first number of attributes;
• and
• transmitting a notification of the second alarm to the mobile device in response to the second number of attributes not matching the first number of attributes.

A system for reducing nuisance notifications from a building automation system, including:

• a platform configured to receive notifications of a number of alarms from a building automation system, wherein the platform includes a database of suppressed alarms and a computing device;
• and
• wherein the computing device is configured to:
• receive, from a mobile device among a number of mobile devices, instructions to suppress notifications of an alarm for a predetermined length of time, wherein the alarm includes a number of attributes;
• compare the number of attributes of the alarm to a number of attributes of the number of alarms;
• refrain from transmitting a notification of the alarm to the mobile device for the predetermined length of time in response to at least one of the number of attributes of the alarm matching at least one of the number of attributes of the number of alarms from the building automation system;
• and
• transmit a notification of the alarm to the mobile device in response to the number of attributes of the alarm not matching the number of attributes of each of the number of alarms.
