Abstract:
1. A building controller for controlling one or more building components, comprising: a wireless interface; a memory; a user interface including a display; a control module in communication with the wireless interface, the memory, and the user interface; the control module configured to store a plurality of building control parameters in the memory, wherein at least one of the plurality of building control parameters relates to an environmental condition inside the building, wherein the control module provides one or more control signals for controlling the one or more building components in accordance with the plurality of building control parameters; the control module is further configured to display one or more screens on the display that provide a user, via the user interface of the building controller, a choice between local and global as a designation for at least one of the plurality of building control parameters; the control module is further configured to transmit the building control parameters that are designated as global parameters to a remote building controller via the wireless interface while not transmitting the building control parameters that are designated as local parameters to the remote building controller; and the control module is further configured to receive one or more building control parameters that are designated as global parameters by the remote building controller and/or another remote building controller via the wireless interface, but not receiving building control parameters that are designated as local parameters by the remote building controller and/or another remote building controller, and storing the one or more received building control parameters in the memory for use by the control module to provide one or more control signals for controlling the one or more building components.
