Patent ID: 8886809

Claim:
A method for wireless communication within a building automation system, the method comprising: establishing a first communications link, the first communications link being between a first automation component and a second automation component; sending a communication signal from the first automation component to the second automation component via the first communications link; detecting a change in the first communications link, via which the communication signal is sent from the first automation component to the second automation component, at the second automation component based on the sending, wherein detecting the change in the first communications link includes detecting absence of the communication signal at the second automation component; initiating a reset function on the second automation component in response to the detected absence of the communication signal at the second automation component, the initiated reset function on the second automation component comprising restarting the second automation component; establishing a second communications link, the second communications link being between the second automation component and a third automation component; detecting a change in the second communications link, via which the communication signal is sendable from the second automation component to the third automation component when the communication signal is received by the second automation component from the first automation component, at the third automation component, wherein detecting the change in the second communications link includes detecting absence of the communication signal at the third automation component; and initiating a reset function on the third automation component in response to the detected absence of the communication signal at the third automation component, the initiated reset function on the third automation component comprising restarting the third automation component.
