Abstract:
A system for performing software updates for building devices of a building includes a thermostat associated with one of multiple zones of the building and a controller. The controller includes a processing circuit configured to store thermostat software in a memory device of the processing circuit, the stored software being software for the thermostat and determine, by communicating with the thermostat, whether thermostat software run on the thermostat is newer or older than the thermostat software stored in the memory device. The processing circuit is configured to update the thermostat software run on the thermostat with the thermostat software stored in the memory device in response to a determination that the thermostat software run on the thermostat is older than the thermostat software stored in the memory device and operate building equipment to control an environmental condition of the building.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for performing software updates for building devices of a building having a plurality of zones, the system comprising:\n a zone device associated with one of the plurality of zones; a controller communicably connected to the zone device and building equipment configured to control an environmental condition of the building, wherein the controller comprises a processing circuit configured to:\n store zone device software in a memory device of the processing circuit, the stored software being software for the zone device; \n determine, by communicating with the zone device, whether zone device software run on the zone device is newer or older than the zone device software stored in the memory device; \n update the zone device software run on the zone device with the zone device software stored in the memory device in response to a determination that the zone device software run on the zone device is older than the zone device software stored in the memory device; \n retrieve the zone device software run by the zone device from the zone device in response to a determination that the zone device software run on the zone device is newer than the zone device software stored in the memory device; \n store the retrieved zone device software run by the zone device in the memory device to update the zone device software stored in the memory device; and \n operate the building equipment to control the environmental condition of the building.
